There must be something wrong with this. The three of them were sure or even suspected that it had something to do with Diquan, because all three of them had been soaked by the water of Diquan. Otherwise, they shouldn't be the only three people in the entire Miaoqing Hall who felt so unwell.
After being soaked by the spring water, Nan Zhu and Mu Aotie had always had knots in their hearts, worried that something would go wrong, and now they really felt a little afraid of what might happen.
In short, this kind of discomfort does not make people sad, does not affect their lives, and does not affect their cultivation. Everything is normal, but it has a great psychological impact. Over time, it has caused a lot of psychological distress to the three of them.
If you just feel uncomfortable all the time, that's okay, but the problem is related to the spring, who knows if there will be any changes.
The torture continued until today. The three brothers and sisters finally couldn't stand it anymore and finally decided to stab themselves. Even if their bodies were cut open, they still had to see what was going on, otherwise the sword hanging above their heads would fall down at any time. The feeling is too uncomfortable.
After setting up the scene, close the door to keep it private and prevent it from being seen by irrelevant outsiders.
Nan Zhu threw Da Tou into a basin to boil water. Wu Hei was already used to this, and he was not convinced that Da Tou could ward off evil spirits. The blood of his father and son could also ward off evil spirits.
Mu Aotie burned a knife on the lit liquor.
Yu Qing took off his shirt and lay down on a long desk, resting his chin on the outside of the desk and his head drooping.
Wu Hei immediately helped and helped to get an extra lamp for lighting.
Mu Aotie stood at the desk holding a small knife, and touched the back of Yu Qing's neck with one hand, pinpointing the bulging spinous process, and asked, "Is this okay?"
Yu Qing, who was lying there, smiled bitterly and said, "Come on, be neat and clean, don't cut the flesh slowly with the knife."
Mu Aotie: "No, you use your power to suppress the blood vessels and don't let the blood seep out."
Yu Qing hummed, and immediately the blood on the back of his neck faded, turning it into a pale white.
Mu Aotie grabbed the liquor and poured it on the back of his neck. He put down the liquor and patted the back of his neck with his palm. After touching the spinous process again, he flashed the knife in his hand and quickly touched the skin on the back of his neck. A cut was made on it, and a blood line was slightly visible, but no obvious blood seeped out.
Yu Qing just tensed up the corners of his mouth and endured the pain without saying a word. The smell of strong alcohol seeping into the wound was really unpleasant.
Mu Aoti pressed the wound with two fingers and opened the wound to the left and right, exposing the spinous process joints on the back of Yu Qing's neck.
The two people on the side immediately stretched out their heads to take a closer look. After just one glance, the three of them looked at each other, and then took a closer look again. They saw that the spinous process joint had turned into two colors, half of it was white bone, and the other half was obviously. The golden color.
Mu Aotie took up the sword and gently tapped the golden part with the back of the sword tip, and it actually made a clanging metal sound.
Yu Qing, who lay there reluctantly, heard something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"
The three of them remained silent because they couldn't explain clearly at the moment. Nanzhu patted the back of Yu Qing's head and signaled him not to move.
The three of them continued to stare at the mutated area and observed carefully, and found that the gradient area where the white bones and golden bones met was so natural.
Mu Aotie suddenly cut the knife again, stretching the wound up and down again. He checked the other neck bones and found that they were all normal bones, with only the spinous process showing abnormalities.
After roughly knowing what was causing the itchiness under the skin, Mu Aotie started cleaning Yu Qing's wounds again, and then bandaged his neck.
When he was done, Yu Qing got up, touched the back of his neck with his shirt off, and asked, "What's going on?"
"You'll know just by looking at it." After Mu Aotie said this, he motioned for Nanzhu to take off his clothes.
Nanzhu also cooperated. After taking off her shirt, the fat body was so white and tender, beautiful!
Like Yu Qing, he lay down, and after a moment of cleaning up the back of his neck, Mu Aotie cut the knife again.
The results of the inspection were similar to those of Yu Qing. As expected, the spinous process on the back of the neck had also undergone mutation, but the scope of the golden bone was obviously smaller than that of Yu Qing.
After cleaning and tidying up the wound, Nanzhu got up, replaced Mu Aotie, took off his shirt and lay down, and replaced him with Yu Qing as the surgeon.
The result was the same. There was also a golden mutation in the spinous process of the back of the neck that was itching under the skin, but the degree of mutation was the least.
After all three of them used knives to peel off the skin and examine the flesh, they compared each other and got the answer. Wu Hei concluded, "Lao Fifteen has the greatest variation, Lao Seven has the second largest variation, and Lao Ninth has the least."
As we have been together for a long time, the names we call everyone have also caught up with me.
As the three of them got dressed in silence, Nanzhu sighed: "It seems that our guess is correct. It is indeed related to the underground spring. The degree of mutation is exactly the same as the amount of spring water the three of us were contaminated with."
Confirming the guess, Yu Qing felt guilty. Lao Qi and Lao Jiu were implicated by him. Now this is not important. What is important is the mutation problem itself. "I can feel that the scope of mutations has been expanding little by little in the past few months."
Mu Aotie raised his hand and touched the wound on the back of his neck, and said, "That's right."
Nanzhu asked Wu Hei, "What will happen if this mutation continues?"
Wu Hei: "I don't know, not even that Hercules knows. My father asked Hercules before, saying that both of his brothers soaked in the spring, why were their conditions completely different, and even their transformed forms were different? . Hercules said that people have thousands of faces, and no earthly spring can be the same. Everything can only vary from person to person. What kind of character will get what kind of results. It is difficult to predict in advance and know people. You know the face but don’t know the heart.”
Yu Qing thought about how the Iron Masked Man looked after his transformation, which was also different from the three owners of Rift Valley Villa, and asked: "I remember you said that you don't want to continue to live alone with Xiao Hei, so why don't you guys? Can you transform?"
Wu Hei nodded.
Yu Qing was curious, "What do you look like after you transform?"
Wu Hei vaguely said, "It doesn't look good anyway."
Nanzhu: "Then if the mutations in our bodies continue to spread, will we eventually become neither human nor ghosts?"
Wu Hei did not answer, but asked for a small knife nearby. After cleaning it, he directly cut the back of the middle finger of his left hand, opened the wound, and exposed the phalanx for the three people to see.
The three of them were speechless after looking at it and found that Wu Hei's finger bones were also golden.
Wu Hei pulled the cloth and wrapped the finger wound again, "My whole body's bones are like this. As for what you will become in the end, I don't know. It may vary from person to person."
Nanzhu's expression twitched, "Don't scare me, even if it becomes like you, at least we know that it's okay for you to be like this, at least you can live long enough. What's going on with us? If the mutation spreads to the whole body, it will be death. , that would be tragic, and many patients are like this."
The unknown terror, the unpredictable, is the scariest thing.
Hearing what he said was scary, Mu Aotie comforted him: "Don't scare yourself, it only took a few months for him to mutate to this extent."
What's the point of continuing to talk about when you die and when you become a monster?
The scene suddenly became quiet, and the mood was heavy.
After the door opened and everyone came out of the room, Wu Hei went to the study to watch his son practice calligraphy while Mu Aotie was cleaning up the room.
Nanzhu sat on the steps under the eaves, holding his chin with both hands. Perhaps trying to diffuse the atmosphere, he muttered and asked, "I wonder when Youya will have a new task posted. Can I complete the task?" , exchanging it with a sum of money should be able to resolve our financial dilemma."
Yu Qing, who was leaning against the pillar under the eaves with his arms folded, glanced in the direction of the dark cliff and said calmly: "If the task comes up again, will you still dare to take it?"
Nanzhu understands what he means. The mastermind behind the scenes has actually grasped some of their situation. As a lesson learned from the past, they don’t dare to take on Youya’s mission. It’s easy to be targeted if they go this way. If they go back to the old road, they will end up in trouble. That means you are stupid.
They originally wanted to find some work. If a group of Xuan-level monks went out to work for people, they should be able to make a lot of money a year. It was better than sitting here and eating nothing. Especially Wu Hei, the Shangxuan monk goes out to work for people, and the wages are very high. Plus, if the shop sells some ice souls, the interest money for the coming year might be collected again.
This actually makes them a little puzzled. A group of people work hard and the money they earn is earned by helping others.
The problem is, let alone working for people to earn wages, they don't even dare to leave Youjiao Port easily now.
If the Man in the Iron Mask was able to successfully return to Youjiao Port because the entire army was wiped out and the mastermind behind the scenes failed to grasp the situation in time, what about now? The mastermind must have known about their return, wouldn't the mastermind want to know what happened?
But the strange thing is that Yu Qing asked Qianlilang to send a letter to Sapphire Lake. As a result, Ning Chaoyi and Shen Qingcheng wrote back and told them that they were also waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to find them. Who knew that they had been living well these past few months? , but nothing unusual was found, and the man and woman themselves felt strange.
Everyone can be sure that there is definitely a mastermind behind this, and the power the other party can use is huge.
After returning to Youjiao Port, Yu Qing checked the details of the owner of Su Island on Panlong Island, only to find that there was an inexplicable conflict on Panlong Island. The owner of Su Island had died tragically. It was rumored that he had provoked some enemy. But Yu Qing and the others knew that they should have been silenced.
It was also found out that the man in the iron mask was talking nonsense. He was not Island Master Su at all. As Bai Lan scolded at the time, Island Master Su was a human being, not a demon, while the man in the iron mask was a demon cultivator. Island Master Su died before the Man in the Iron Mask.
A force of Shangxuan monks was silenced when they said it was silenced, and was eradicated when they said it was eradicated. This is not something that just anyone can do.
In addition, in order to deal with him, Yu Qing, the four Bailan demons were deliberately used to cover up, which made people here feel that although the mastermind behind the scenes was powerful, they were very careful and did not dare to expose themselves at all. Is it because they were afraid that other forces would get involved?
Thinking of this, Yu Qing, who was leaning against the pillar, sighed. He had been thinking about these things over and over in his mind these days. He couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes, so it was difficult to take targeted precautions.
Now, because it was confirmed that the changes in the three brothers were related to the Earth Spring, he felt more guilty in his heart. It was he who harmed Lao Qi and Lao Ninth.
Until the next morning, he was still restless, lying on the bed thinking about it.
But Nanzhu came excitedly, knocked on his door, ran in and shouted excitedly, "Old Fifteen, look, look."
Yu Qing sat up, not knowing what to look at.
Nanzhu turned his back and pulled down his collar to show him the back of his neck.
Yu Qing took a closer look and was stunned. He thought he had seen it wrong. He couldn't even see the scar on the back of Lao Qi's neck.
