Bu Xiaotian had a dream, a very long and strange dream.
He hasn't had a dream in a long time.
In the dream, he saw the mountain village where he lived when he was a child, his mother, Purple Thunder Peak, his master, senior brother, Yun Ying...
Bits and pieces of everything from childhood to adulthood turned into fragmented pictures floating before his eyes, and he seemed to have experienced everything that had happened in the past seventeen years again.
Later, he seemed to see that his great revenge was avenged, and then he returned to the original mountain village with Mo Li and started a new life...
Everything seemed so beautiful.
But suddenly everything changes!
The sky collapsed, the sky turned blood red, and it rained heavily, but the rain was as red as blood. The ground was burning with raging fire. The blood rain poured on the fire not only did not make the fire smaller, but instead made the fire stronger like oil. Come bigger.
In the end, the fire burned everything he could see, as well as everyone he knew or didn't know, including his master, senior brother, and friends. They were struggling and wailing in the blazing flames.
But everything they did was useless. In the end, everything turned into coke and ashes. In the end, even the ashes were burned into nothingness by the flames.
Mo Li and Lan Yunxin were also in the fire. Even though their bodies were burned by the fire, Lan Yunxin still had that cold yet gentle expression, while Mo Li kept looking at him with a gentle smile. , until completely disappearing in the flames.
Bu Xiaotian wanted to go up and help, but no matter how hard he tried, it had no effect on the fire that spread across the entire earth. He could only watch helplessly as everything disappeared from his eyes.
In the end, only blood and flames remained in the entire world, completely turning into a world of blood and fire. Even the flames gradually turned into blood red, as if it was the blood that ignited the fire that burned everything.
Bu Xiaotian looked at the horrific scene in front of him, his heart filled with pain.
Finally, everything in front of him suddenly shattered, the rain of blood disappeared, the fire disappeared, and there was only a void of darkness left in front of him.
Bu Xiaotian was floating in such nothingness, and he didn't know how long it had passed.
His mind had become numb, and everything in the past gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared completely.
He forgot who he was, where he came from, and what he wanted to do.
It just floats blankly, as if it will never end.
Just when he felt that his consciousness was about to dissipate and become a part of this nothingness, a call that seemed very far away sounded in his ears.
"Xiaotian...Xiaotian..."
He seemed to be very familiar with this voice, as if it was engraved in his heart, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have forgotten everything in the past, and he couldn't help but feel very anxious and irritable.
Just as he was trying to remember, the calling in his ears was getting closer and more obvious.
After a long time, he finally remembered who the voice belonged to.
Mo Li!
The woman who accompanied him through life and death several times without any regrets!
boom--
It was as if a door locked in his memory was broken, and everything in the past suddenly poured into his mind.
His consciousness suddenly collapsed under the impact of this memory.
I don't know how long it took, but a bright light suddenly appeared in front of Bu Xiaotian's eyes. At the same time, an indescribable weakness came from his body, as if only half of his original energy was left, and even his thinking became sluggish. Incomparable.
He tried hard to open his eyes, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. It took him a while to get used to it.
Before Bu Xiaotian had time to see everything in front of him clearly, Mo Li's voice of great surprise sounded in his ears:
"Xiaotian, are you awake?!"
Although Mo Li's voice was excited, it was full of exhaustion.
Bu Xiaotian reluctantly looked in the direction of the sound, and finally saw clearly what Mo Li looked like at this time.
At this time, Mo Li's face was haggard, and her face had lost a lot of weight. Even the aura that had always been in her eyes was so weak that it was almost invisible.
You must know that as a practitioner, the innate Qi in the body is condensed into the Qi source, and the eyes will naturally have a different kind of divine light. Only when the body is seriously injured or mentally exhausted, and a lot of energy is consumed, will the divine light appear dim.
But she didn't look injured, so she must have been so mentally and physically exhausted because she worried too much about herself during her coma.
Thinking of this, Bu Xiaotian not only felt a sense of guilt in his heart, he couldn't help but want to raise his hand to caress Mo Li's haggard face, but when he wanted to raise his arm, he realized that his whole body was extremely heavy. She could only look at Mo Li distressedly and comfort her:
"I'm fine."
Bu Xiaotian wanted to say something more, but these three simple words consumed a lot of his energy, and he could no longer say anything else.
Mo Li also saw that Bu Xiaotian was extremely weak at this time, and said quickly:
"You just woke up, stop talking, I'll get you some food."
Seeing Mo Li's happy expression, Bu Xiaotian no longer forced himself and responded softly:
"Um."
After Mo Li left, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the situation when he got rid of zombies in Baiyang Village a year ago. Que was accidentally scratched by the zombies and was poisoned by corpses. Mo Li also stayed with him sleeplessly. around.
It was also at that time that her image was imprinted on his heart.
Every time the two of them got along, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but have a smile on his lips.
Thinking of how hard it was for Mo Li every time he was injured, Bu Xiaotian felt very guilty.
He could only tell himself secretly in his heart that he must treat Mo Li well in the future and never let her work so hard because of him again.
Since Bu Xiaotian woke up, Mo Li's energy and spirit have improved.
From Mo Li's mouth, Bu Xiaotian also learned everything that happened after he fell into coma.
At that time, he transformed his whole body's true energy into two kinds of power, yin and yang, and injected it into the blood-colored crystal. He originally wanted to escape from the predicament with the force of the collision of two completely opposite forces, but the effect he did not expect was completely different. It exceeded his expectations.
Under the explosion of the two forces, not only did he escape from the altar, but he even destroyed the blood-colored crystal and the altar together.
Of course, this was not what he saw. At that time, he was already confused and had no energy to care about it.
It's just that he heard Mo Li say that when she woke up, she didn't see any altar or blood crystal at all. She just found a large pit with a radius of two feet in the center of the place. Other than that, there were only hundreds of unconscious people there. I inferred it from the people in the past.
Without the blessing of the blood crystal and the mysterious power of the altar, the place has become very unstable and may collapse at any time and bury everyone alive inside.
Fortunately, Mo Li woke up in time and woke up most of the people with her efforts. Everyone worked together to rescue everyone else before it collapsed.
Although Mo Li did not describe the situation in detail, Bu Xiaotian could imagine that he must have been seriously injured and dying at that time. How anxious Mo Li must have been when he saw that he was covered in wounds and could die at any time.
If Mo Li hadn't found a 'Heart Protection Pill' in his bag to protect Bu Xiaotian's life, he would have died long ago.
After Mo Li led everyone back to Shaliu Town, because Bu Xiaotian was seriously injured and couldn't stand the torment, he stayed here waiting for him to wake up.
In the following days, Bu Xiaotian's health gradually improved and he was soon able to go to the ground.
But he still felt very weak, even worse than ordinary people.
Mo Li said that he had been seriously injured before, and it was not easy to save his life. It would take a long time to fully recover.
Whether it was out of trust in Mo Li herself or trust in Mo Li's medical skills as the heir of Medicine King Valley, Bu Xiaotian had no reason to doubt her words.
Until this day, Bu Xiaotian was in good health and it was time to remove the bandage.
Before removing the bandage, Mo Li couldn't help but said:
"Is it really possible? How about waiting a few more days?"
Seeing Mo Li's concerned and worried look, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile and said:
"You're still the little princess of Yaowang Valley, so you can't even tell whether I'm okay or not? Besides, I've been wearing this thing on my body these days and never changed it. Although you often help me clean it with water cleaning skills, I still feel like I’m starting to stink, especially the medicine on my head, which must have been covered in dirt from my body!”
Seeing that Mo Li still had a reluctant look on her face, Bu Xiaotian thought she was confused because she was concerned, so he coaxed and persuaded:
"Okay, let's take them apart first and take a look. If you feel they are not easy to wrap up after taking them apart, can you put them back together?"
Seeing that he couldn't stop Bu Xiaotian, Mo Li had no choice but to nod his head, but he still looked a little unhappy.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian was completely immersed in the joy of removing these obstructive things from her body, and without carefully studying Mo Li's expression, he pushed her out of the room and closed the door before starting to remove the strips of cloth one by one.
Although the two of them had worshiped in the stone hall at the foot of Broken Mountain, they were in a desperate situation after all, and everything was too casual. Bu Xiaotian didn't want to wrong Mo Li, so Bu Xiaotian told Mo Li after he got out of trouble. After he avenged his great revenge, he would go back to Yaowang Valley to propose marriage, and then marry her in a dignified manner.
Mo Li understood Bu Xiaotian's thoughts and agreed.
Therefore, the two have never performed a complete ceremony as husband and wife.
He was unconscious before, so it was fine when Mo Li helped Bu Xiaotian bandage, but now that he was awake, he was naturally embarrassed to take off his clothes in front of Mo Li.
As the strips of medicinal cloth were dismantled, Bu Xiaotian felt a sense of relief all over his body.
Soon, the only thing left in his body was the medicine cloth on his head that had not yet been disassembled. He raised his hand and fumbled to loosen the knot on the medicine cloth, untying it in circles.
A few strands of hair accidentally fell from his forehead because they had been untied for a long time.
Bu Xiaotian raised his hand to move them behind him to prevent them from blocking his sight.
But just when he grabbed those few strands of hair, Bu Xiaotian's hand suddenly stopped.
...
Mo Li had been waiting outside the door for Bu Xiaotian to come out. It was easy to tell from the way she kept walking back and forth and looking at the door from time to time that she seemed to be worried about something.
But she didn't see Bu Xiaotian come out after waiting for a long time, and even the slight sound that Bu Xiaotian made when taking apart the medicine cloth had stopped long ago.
Mo Li finally couldn't help but walked to the door, knocked carefully, and shouted:
"Xiao Tian?"
But her call went unanswered for a long time, which made her look anxious.
After shouting a few more times and seeing that there was still no movement in the room, Mo Li couldn't help it anymore.
She stretched out her hand, and there was a "click" from behind the door, and the door bolt broke.
Mo Li opened the door and walked into the room, and immediately saw the motionless figure sitting beside the bed.
Naturally it can't be anyone else except Bu Xiaotian.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian had put on his clothes again, but his hair was all spread out in front of him.
The hair that should have been jet black was now mixed with strands of silver. Bu Xiaotian lowered his head and looked at the hair in his hand intently.
Hearing the sound of Mo Li coming in, Bu Xiaotian raised his head stiffly and asked slowly:
"You already knew that, right?"
The disheveled hair covered most of Bu Xiaotian's face, and Mo Li couldn't see his expression clearly, but the deep tone in his tone said everything.
Mo Li wanted to rush up and tell him loudly that it was nothing, just a few white hairs!
But her feet seemed to have roots, and she didn't lift them up for a long time.
She looked at Bu Xiaotian, whose whole body exuded a depressed aura, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and burst out from her eyes.
The words of comfort turned into low whimpering, and finally turned into howling, just repeating one sentence over and over again:
"sorry Sorry......"
Looking at Mo Li who was standing there crying but still not daring to take a step forward, Bu Xiaotian finally stood up and walked to her, hugged her in his arms, patted her back gently, and said softly:
"It's not your fault, I didn't blame you..."
The moment he saw these white hairs, Bu Xiaotian understood everything.
Why do I always feel inexplicably weak when I wake up? Why does Mo Li always follow him almost every step of the way, trying to stop him when he wants to remove the medicine?
His origin is missing!
The origin of a person is the innate Qi that exists in the body when he is born. The innate Qi supports all human activities and will continue to be consumed with the passage of time. When the innate Qi in a person's body is exhausted, it will The moment of his death.
The first thing a practitioner does is to condense the innate Qi in the body into a 'Qi source', which is to 'refining Qi'. After the 'Qi source' is condensed, the loss of the innate Qi will be greatly slowed down, so practicing The life span of these people is much longer than that of ordinary people.
The word "Xiantian" means innate, which also means that it cannot be enhanced through acquired means. If it is lost, it is lost. Even those treasures of heaven, materials and earth can only slightly slow down the loss of innate energy. , to achieve the effect of prolonging life.
However, no matter how good the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are, there is a limit to the effect of slowing down the loss of innate energy. It is impossible for ordinary people to have as long a life as a practitioner.
In other words, Bu Xiaotian's lost innate energy can no longer be made up for.
Mo Li had not allowed him to use his innate energy before, saying it was to help him get better faster, but he had just realized that Mo Li just didn't want him to notice the loss of his innate energy.
Before Mo Li came in, he had luckily sensed that at least 80% of the innate energy in his body had been lost, and the 'source of energy' was on the verge of collapse due to the abnormal loss of innate energy.
If he can't find a solution, he can last up to five more years!
Five years later, he will die due to exhaustion of his innate energy.
