The effect of the bone-attaching elixir was too strong. Agarwood's body was instantly filled with the power of the medicine. It was already on the verge of death, but who would have thought that it would be pulled back.
This was not a good thing for her as the physical pain did not go away. Nowadays, her inner strength is unparalleled, but her body is as fragile as a rotting dead wood, which will break into pieces at the slightest touch. ap.
The medicine only delayed her death and prolonged her pain.
Agarwood suddenly reached out and pinched Xu Qingchen's neck. Linghan subconsciously tried to stop him, but failed.
Xu Qingchen's neck was strangled, his breathing was cut off instantly, and he almost fainted.
"Master!" Linghan shouted. This sound also made Chen Xiangzhi regain some consciousness, and the strength in her hand became much lighter.
"Xu Qingchen..." Agarwood's voice was cracked and full of hatred, "You are really vicious now."
Xu Qingchen struggled hard twice and said with difficulty: "Give me one last, last blow...so that you can repay the debts owed to the old sect master and Yang Fan!"
"I don't owe them anything!"
"You owe!" Xu Qingchen finally broke away, "Old Sect Leader Qiao will protect you, so you have a chance to take revenge. Brother Yang also tried his best to help you, shouldn't you do something? If you don't help I, the Thorn Sect cannot survive for a few days. The two of them have wanted to strengthen the Thorn Sect throughout their lives, and this is just a small wish... Sect Master, you must help me with this!"
Xu Qingchen did not flinch, and there was no trace of fear on his face. Even though the agarwood tree was so weak, it was not difficult to crush Xu Qingchen to death with internal force alone.
Linghan suddenly yelled at Xu Qingchen: "Have you had enough?!"
Xu Qingchen looked at Linghan and whispered: "First think about who I am doing this for!"
Linghan's body was trembling a little, and she said coldly: "I was most afraid that you would become like this, but I didn't expect... that you would really become like this. During this time, I would rather kill more people than hope that you would fall." !Xu Qingchen, you disappoint me so much."
"It seems that we have the same idea. I also hope that I will be responsible for all this. Ayahan..."
Chen Xiangzhi looked at the two of them, and before Xu Qingchen finished speaking, she suddenly said: "Linghan, help me get dressed."
Linghan said loudly: "Master! Don't listen to him! You don't have much time, enjoy every moment you can! You don't owe anyone!"
Chen Xiangzhi laughed miserably: "I owe it... I have no talent for anything. I also thought about inheriting Qiao Fei's last wish... Who knew that at the last moment, I gave up... Forget it, the last one After the medicine is taken, I will help them finish this."
Linghan glared at Xu Qingchen: "Get out!"
…
Those people in the world are impatient with waiting, and some are eager to try it out - it seems that the rumors in the world are true, and Agarwood may really be dead.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely stagnant, three people walked out of the lobby.
Not only the martial arts people present, but also everyone in the Thorns Sect were surprised - Agarwood actually came out?
As usual, she was dressed in gorgeous black clothes, with a disdainful expression unique to those in power, majestic and murderous.
The two people behind him were Ling Han and Xu Qingchen. They followed the agarwood branches into the lobby.
The lobby was so quiet that you could hear everyone's heartbeats.
Agarwood looked around the crowd and said, "I heard that you all came to Thorn Gate to deal with some political affairs. I was busy with something important just now, so I came late. Please forgive me."
Now no one dares to make mistakes, and those who are eager to try are honest.
Agarwood sat on the main chair and asked, "What do you guys want? Please tell me slowly."
These people who came were not fools. They had thought about what to do if the rumors in the world were false. They had already prepared a set of excuses and came up with a bunch of trivial things to explain away the agarwood branches.
After burning the incense, listening to the appeals of these Jianghu people, Agarwood gradually became impatient: "Okay, if it's just these things, you can just tell Hall Master Xu or Master Feng... There is no need to tell me in person, right? "
The coercion of the agarwood branch made no one dare to respond.
She stood up and waved her sleeves: "Everyone, if you don't have anything important to do, I won't keep you all at Thorny Sect... Qingchen, send them off for me."
Xu Qingchen cupped her fists and raised her hands: "Yes, Sect Master... Everyone, please come."
Agarwood's back was soaked with sweat, and Linghan could see it clearly. Those few words she just said were the result of her efforts to hold on for a whole stick of incense. Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer and saw off the guests.
After Xu Qingchen sent the Jianghu people out of the lobby, Chen Xiangzhi's body finally reached its limit, and the color on his face instantly disappeared, and his body tilted and fell to the side.
Linghan hurriedly supported her and asked eagerly: "Master! How are you?"
"Shh..." Chen Xiangzhi said softly, "This is the last step... don't reveal your secret... Linghan, send me back."
At the beginning, it is enough to take the bone-attaching elixir once a month, and then once every ten days after a year. Later, she had to take it three times a day, and the duration of the drug's effect became shorter and shorter. This last elixir didn't last even an hour.
Ayahan feels the same way about this worsening condition and the increasing dependence on drugs.
After Agarwood returned to the room, she fell on the bed. Every pore in her body ached, but she no longer had the strength to struggle.
Linghan lifted up the upper body of Agarwood and gave her a drink of water. Unfortunately, it was extremely difficult for her to even complete the swallowing action.
Linghan couldn't help but cry. She understood that this time it was not Qingqia's sequelae. Normally, she would cry.
"Why bother?" Linghan asked crying, "Aren't you from Penglai? You should have gone back to Penglai after the Battle of Chang'an. Why are you still here?"
Chen Xiangzhi smiled and replied: "My... adoptive parents... are very good people... I don't want them to see me like this... My home is gone, I have no place to stay... ...Looking back...Bramble Gate...is actually the place where I have lived for the longest time..."
Linghan wiped away the tears that kept flowing out: "Master, you..."
"Stop calling me sect leader..." Her voice became softer and softer, "My name is Chen Minyue...how much older than you...you call me...what should you call me?"
She was the youngest child in her family and didn't know what to call her younger siblings if she had them.
"Sister Xiaoyue!" Linghan blurted out, "You are no longer agarwood! You are yourself now!"
"Thank you, Ayahan... you have always been very gentle... Actually, I have thought that if I were born in an ordinary family... would I have a few good girlfriends or something..."
"I know……"
When Li Fenglan came to Thorn Gate that time, the two of them felt that the agarwood branch was a bit strange. Actually, thinking about it carefully, wasn't it just a simple show of goodwill from the agarwood branch? The three of them are about the same age, so they should be able to chat, but she has a habit of always keeping a straight face, which makes the two girls feel uncomfortable. And she's not very good at chatting either. In order not to embarrass the two girls, she took the initiative to leave.
I should have stayed a little longer, maybe I would have gained two more friends.
"Ayagami...what does it feel like to like someone..."
She has been lying in bed for the past few days, unable to move. In order to fight the bone-gnawing pain, she would think of other things to distract herself. For example, in March, when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, she met a rich man in Yangzhou City. There are so many things missing in this life that cannot be made up for.
Linghan answered with tears: "Men are stupid, speak straightly, and if you make a slight detour, he won't be able to understand what you mean. Xu Qingchen is a piece of wood, and he won't be able to understand if you don't understand your words... I like it. There is nothing good about a person, only bad things happen."
"Is that so... Ayagami, do you have a family?"
"What I don't have is that I am an orphan and was picked up by my master. But my master and senior brother are very good to me. They are like my father and brother."
"I envy you so much...We are friends, right?"
"Forget it! Forget it!"
"That
...Please do something for me..."
Ling's eyes were filled with tears, and she saw those black lines appearing on Agarwood's face again, spreading so fast that they were visible to the naked eye.
"Say! What do you want me to do?"
"Kill...kill me..."
After the effects of the medicine wear off, I don’t know how many more days I will be in coma before I die completely.
Ayana nodded vigorously, tears almost bursting from her eyes.
Outside the door master's bedroom, several hall masters stood anxiously at the door. Xu Qingchen stood in front of everyone, with his hands behind his back and no expression on his face.
I don't know how much time passed, but the door opened and Linghan came out.
She had tears in her eyes and an expression on her face that was both sad and indignant. Her chest was stained black with a large amount of blood - the black blood she spat out when Linghan used her internal force to shock Chen Minyue to death.
Looking at the several hall masters in front of her, Linghan's voice trembled: "The second master of the Thorn Sect...the agarwood branch, his soul has returned to the sky."
The corner of Xu Qingchen's mouth moved slightly, and he spoke slowly: "Come here, please calm down the appearance of the sect master... Please keep the news of the sect master's death a secret..."
…
Next to Qiao Fei's grave, there is a small new grave without a tombstone, which looks very shabby.
Xu Qingchen had people bury the agarwood branches secretly, without anything that could indicate her identity.
There were only two people in front of the tomb, Xu Qingchen and Linghan.
Perhaps she died when she was four years old.
"Did you get your wish?" Linghan said sarcastically, "Now that the Thorn Gate is stable, it is already in your pocket. Master Xu, you have climbed very fast in less than three years."
Xu Qingchen said blankly: "You know, I'm not interested in rights."
"I don't know, Xu Qingchen, I don't understand you! I never understood you from the beginning! Every step you take seems to be right, and every step you take is so hasty, but you don't think about every step. There are better choices!"
Ayana found that her emotions seemed to be back to normal, with normal anger and joy, no longer paranoid, and she knew exactly who she should hate.
"Linghan, it's almost over..." Xu Qingchen said weakly, "As long as Li Fengyao is killed, the world will return to normal, and there will no longer be any foreign enemies in the Thorn Sect. At that time..."
"At that time, I can go back to Yangzhou with you and live the life you imagined?" Ling Han smiled, "Don't be stupid, Xu Qingchen! Even if I die now, I won't live with you like this for the rest of my life! You still have someone else Sex? When you made her take that pill, when you locked me in the stalactite cave, didn't you feel any guilt in your heart?"
Xu Qingchen looked at Linghan: "It's more than just guilt... At that time, life was worse than death... Linghan, do I have any other options? You know the efficacy of Qingqia better than I do. I once thought about slowly reducing the dosage." Your dose of medicine has no effect at all. When you are wailing at me, when you are thirsty, I can't refuse you at all... I only have one way, tell me, what is the better solution? "
Linghan didn't know either. The reason why she said that was because she believed Xu Qingchen had other ways. Now that things have happened, she still wants to struggle one last time.
"Let's go back to Yangzhou now. Don't worry about Li Fengyao. Feng Lan will deal with her... You have lost enough and done enough... Let's go back..."
Xu Qingchen shook his head, which completely shattered Linghan's confidence.
She shook out her short knife, grabbed a bunch of her hair, and chopped it off with the knife.
"I have nothing to do with you from today on, Xu Qingchen, you no longer need to use the guise of 'for me.'"
Opening her palms, her hair was blown away by the wind and scattered in the sky.
Ayana turned around and left without lingering.
Xu Qingchen knelt down, picked up the few hairs on the ground, and held them in his hands with great care.
Even if you deny me, then everything I do will have no meaning.
