C20 Prolongation of life

Just then, Jin Weilong walked out of his room, he looked at us blankly, then suddenly saw Bai Hua and asked curiously: "Why are you here too, what happened?"

Obviously, he also noticed that the atmosphere wasn't right, but it was obvious that there was something missing from his memory and he couldn't remember what exactly happened. Thus, he could only look at us blankly with a puzzled expression.

Aside from Ah Xue, the rest of us looked towards him. It was also at this moment that I felt a sharp pain from my arm.

Before I could even react, I was forcefully pulled into a room. Then, a sharp pain came from my head. I felt my vision go dark, and I didn't even know what happened to my body.

In a trance, I heard that the Ah Xue seemed to be right around me. I could hear her crying in my surroundings. I struggled to open my eyes, but I only felt that my eyelids were a thousand kilograms; no matter what, I couldn't open my eyes.

I tried to move my body, but I couldn't move my fingers at all. The candles around me were getting heavier and heavier, and they were choking on my nose so much that I couldn't even say anything. Just when I thought I was about to suffocate to death, I suddenly heard Granny Ah Xue's voice from behind me.

"Zhongzheng, don't be in such a hurry. I will save you soon. Just try to be patient." I originally thought that brat was good to the Ah Xue and wanted to let him go, but who knew that he would come over again and again to repay us.

The old lady's voice was still full of energy, especially after hearing the contents of her words.

It was obvious that she wanted me to extend the life of Ah Xue's father. Furthermore, after these two events, no matter how stupid I was, I could tell that giving someone else a life was equivalent to giving them a life.

"Grandma is begging you to let Zhang Yu go, don't let him die, otherwise, take my life, I will extend father's life!"

Even though Ah Xue didn't understand Taoism Arts, she was not an idiot. Naturally, she understood the meaning behind her grandmother's words. She had always been kind and gentle, allowing her to choose between her own father and her lover.

I sighed. She was really a silly girl. I felt an indescribable pain in my heart.

"Why are you so silly in Ah Xue, this brat caused your father's death, and yet you actually pleaded for him. Scram to the side, eat things that are inside and outside!?"

When Ah Xue's grandmother heard her words, she immediately became furious. I heard a crisp smack sound, it was clearly that Ah Xue had been beaten up. My heart ached to get up, but my body didn't listen to her at all, I could only lie on the ground like a dead person, waiting desperately and painfully for my death.

I didn't know what was wrong with my body, but I could feel Ah Xue's wails resounding in my ears. It was very real, but it was also very ethereal, drifting about, causing my hair to stand on end. I suddenly felt dizzy.

However, in the end, I was still unable to control myself. In my daze, I heard some movement behind me, followed by the Ah Xue's struggle and screams, but before long, the sound disappeared, as if the entire world had been cut off by an invisible layer. Not long after, my vision darkened, and I fainted again.

After an unknown period of time, I regained consciousness, but now I felt a splitting headache, as if I had just had a craniotomy. I gasped from the pain, and found that my arms and legs were tied to a large bed with my feet facing the window.

Bang

There was a loud noise from the window, and then the window was opened from the outside. A cold wind poured in from the outside, and I could just make out what was going on in the room. It was not a light, but two white candles, placed on either side of the window.

Looking out of the window, I could clearly see two pale lanterns hanging from the window. Although the cold wind outside was ceaselessly blowing into the house, the white candles and the two pale lanterns by the window were motionless, as if frozen in place. I immediately realized that this place was very familiar to me, and upon closer inspection, I realized that this was the spirit hall belonging to Ah Xue's father.

I smiled bitterly and looked around me in fear. Suddenly, I found that I was the only one in the room, which meant that when I was about to faint, the sounds I heard were not illusions. The Ah Xue had already been dragged away by her grandmother.

"Zhang Yu, you were poisoned by that old lady, she told me to extend Ah Xue's father's life, you are his sacrifice, but don't worry, I will definitely save you!"

Just as I was looking around me in shock and was about to collapse, I suddenly heard Bai Hua's voice by my side.

Bai Hua is my best friend, so naturally, I have absolute trust in her. Thus, I hurriedly nodded my head and said in a low voice, "Relax, I'm fine."

Actually, I'm not sure if she can hear me. I just want some psychological comfort.

Just then, a cold sensation came from below me, as if I was lying on an ice bed. It was so cold that it was bone-piercing.

My back felt so uncomfortable from the ice that I wanted to escape, but I remembered that my arms and legs were tied to the bed and I couldn't move at all. I could only helplessly lie on the bed and grind my teeth as I endured the pain.

As I accidentally turned my head, I coincidentally saw the portrait of Ah Xue's father. The father of the Ah Xue in the photo was staring at me coldly with a cold and sinister smile on her face.

Looking at his expression made my scalp tingle even more. At the same time, I felt a surge of fear in my heart.

Thus, I carefully moved to a different position. I was horrified to find that no matter where I went, Ah Xue's father's photo would still be staring at me. That expression didn't seem like an elder that I was once familiar with at all, but more like an Asura that captures souls.

The cold wind continued to blow through the open window and pour into the mourning hall. I felt my body, which had just regained some of its senses, start to stiffen up again.

At the same time, my head started to hurt again, and my body felt like it was starting to hurt. I couldn't tell where it was going to hurt.

"Zhang Yu, come here... Zhang Yu came over … Zhang Yu came over … Zhang Yu... " At this moment, in the originally silent space, a woman's voice suddenly sounded. This voice was very familiar to me; it was the voice of Hundred Painting.

Her voice had comforted me before, but now I felt extremely terrified, because I knew very well that this was simply a soul-stirring sound. If I listened to the voice, I would definitely be led through the path of survival, becoming like Ah Xue's father who didn't look like a human or a ghost.
