1186 Overachievement

s better at this than you, and you don't even cause any trouble. Your girlfriend still has to wait on you... I have hookups, that's enough for me." He pulled out his usual twisted logic again.I'll see...Beneath the tablecloth lay a pale face.

The mountain road was bumpy, and before we even reached the highway, I was afraid Ms. Xue would be jostled out of her seat. So I held onto her wrist the whole way to keep her steady.

At this moment, Brother Xie got angry and pulled the tablecloth with his hand, revealing Ms. Xue's face.

Her skin was bloodless, pale and emaciated, like a specimen.

Xie Ge jumped back in surprise, and asked, "… Is this really a corpse"

He's not sure, and I'm not sure either!

If we're talking about the dead, the most fundamental thing is what Blood clots forming lividity, or the bloating of a body due to internal organ decay, making the entire person swell up like a balloon, unrecognizable.

But Ms. Xue's face now is only gaunt and sunken, her skin hasn't slackened at all, let alone showing lividity.

Xie Ge has been running around the border for years, so he's a pretty bold guy. He reached out and touched Ms. Xue's neck: "…the blood vessels are still soft."

I nodded, because I couldn't tell if he was dead or alive, that's why I came back.

"Do you know this person" Xie Ge immediately saw the clue from my eyes.

"...Actually, this is my father's wife."

Xie Ge was stunned and blurted out, "Your mom She's so young Is she your stepmother"

>

"Are you all in this line of work Are you all wizards" Xie Ge didn't know what to say, so he patted his hands and got back into the driver's seat.

I continued to wrap Ms. Xue, reaching out to grasp her wrist. A steady stream of warmth flowed from my hand to hers. I could no longer determine her current state.

Her cervical veins were indeed soft and elastic, indicating that her blood was not stagnant. However, her state resembled a deep slumber.

I followed behind her, my body heat merging with hers. I was starting to feel like she had simply fallen asleep.

And did it seem to me, or was her complexion not as bad as before

"I need to get her back home right now so my family can assess the situation, so… Xie Ge, could you sell me this car" I asked.

Xie Ge let out a sigh: "Even if I sell it to you, what can you do This place is thousands of miles away. You're a young girl unfamiliar with the roads, driving with a lifeless person, how would you handle a safety check Or should I drive you back and see Sister Lu by the way"

"Thank you, Xie Ge."

"No need to thank me... In the future, you should stay out of these dangerous situations. People are born and die every day in this world, and death is commonplace in places like this overseas. Why would you come here alone" Xie Ge couldn't help but criticize: "At first, I thought you had your own channels. Later, I realized you were just bold! Look at you, you walked such a long mountain road alone, and even escaped from the water. There are water snakes in that river..."

Xie Ge has always been teaching me. Before, he didn't talk as much, probably thinking that I could come back safe and sound to surprise him. Now that I'm back, he started scolding me for being reckless.

I've experienced even scarier situations, these are nothing.

On the way, we dared not take the main road, all of us took detours through country lanes. Mrs. Xue's body was getting softer and softer. I felt that the body temperature seemed to have an effect on her body, so I tried my best to stay close to her.

The car drove to near our city, and my elder brother and my father were waiting for us on the road.

Besides them, there was also a private hospital ambulance. Now they wouldn't have to worry about traffic police inspections.

I'd never seen my father like this—he was always a gentle and refined scholar, but when he saw Ms. Xue, his eyes welled up, and he snatched her from my hands and held her close.

"Master, let me hold him" the eldest disciple whispered.

My dad wouldn't let it be. The old man insisted on carrying the person onto the ambulance himself. I tugged at my eldest brother's sleeve and whispered, "Let him carry them, I can carry them too, besides, my dad is a man after all..."

"Big brother sighed heavily: "Little sister, I can't control you anymore... But you're pregnant, you shouldn't be taking risks. Have you ever thought about what would happen if the child were gone"

"I... I didn't think about it." I lowered my head in apology.

"The Way, Medicine, and Xuanmen are always the world of mortals. Those things about immortals and demons, how can you interfere It's too dangerous. You are not allowed to get involved in these matters again from now on. If anyone threatens you, tell them to come find me." My senior brother looked at me with worry.

I shook my head.

The Almighty Lord has already said that there will be calamities, and there will also be blessings.

If I'm already weak, if I were to be even more cowardly and afraid, shrinking back, then there's no way I could achieve my desires.

Why did Mu Wanchen "refuse" me

He thinks I am not yet capable of facing unknown dangers.

I am not yet capable of standing beside him.

"Zǐyì, Xiǎolu'ěr, hurry up!" My father placed Ms. Xue into the ambulance and urgently urged us.

I nodded and saw that Big Brother only drove an ordinary car. I asked, "Big Brother, did you bring cash"

"I brought 30,000 yuan, just in case my phone loses signal... What are you going to do" My elder brother still asked a question on his lips, and the next second he had already handed me his handbag.

It seems that what I do doesn't matter. He just asks questions out of habit. This kind of indulgence makes me feel guilty—I seem to be incapable of doing anything without my family.

I gave Xie Ge 30,000 yuan in cash, asking him to take it. I thanked him for his care along the way. Xie Ge silently accepted the money and reminded me: "Kids should stay away from these dangerous things. They're really not suitable... I'm going to see Sister Lu and will suggest she find someone else. Don't look for you anymore."

He sighed and drove away himself.

My elder brother stuffed me into the car, and we sped all the way to a private hospital.

In the ambulance, my father had already given Ms. Xue a brief examination. He whispered to us: This is a soul-detaching spell. Her body becoming like this is also a symptom of soul detachment syndrome.

"What's this phenomenon of soul separation She's completely out of her body... Her soul doesn't even know where it's flown to... How do we treat this" I whispered.

My old man furrowed his brow and stroked his chin: “Flying soul, departing spirit, two souls and six spirits wandering outside the body. Even if she cast the spell herself, it would have a major impact on her body. The most urgent thing is to summon her back.”

"Summoning spirits in the hospital Old man, don't you want to be filmed and posted online" I frowned.

"What are we going to do This is a very dangerous situation. She can only survive because she has supernatural abilities..."

"What kind of sorcery does she possess Did the Wuzhu clan curse her as a fetus with blood worms Wasn't she born outside the practice of law Where could such blood worms come from"

Father hesitated for a moment, bit his lip, and said in a low voice: “They have a method of inheritance called ‘passing on the skill’.”

Skill

“Gu gong is a type of witchcraft. Taoism also calls it gu jiao or gu fa, but this method has almost been lost… However, her family, starting from the great-grandmother, has used gu gong to pass down the art of controlling spirits… That is, the previous generation's women would pass on their techniques to the next generation, and they themselves would become ordinary people.” My father explained.

I was stunned for a moment, then it dawned on me. No wonder that old woman buried up to her neck in yellow soil listened to Ms. Xue so much. Her kung fu had been passed down to Ms. Xue's mother, and then to Ms. Xue herself. Ms. Xue was the one in control.

"Is there really such a method..."

"Yes, I discovered it before. She has special markings on her body. That's the first step of practicing kung fu, 'closing the meridians'..."uch common things, right Or maybe I—"I hadn't finished speaking when the car suddenly moved!I was so startled that I cried out. Jiang Qiyun coldly said again, "Sit down.""Okay, okay." I dared not spea...
