This girl had been stubborn since she was young.
At that time, she was like a weed growing in the crack of a rock. With a little wind and a little rain, she could continue struggling to survive.
In those few years, his luck was not good. When he saw such a young child in the Water Moon Temple who would fight against the heavens and fate, he really thought it was amazing. His state of mind had also changed a lot.
At the moment, he actually had a lot of things he wanted to ask this girl, but it was not easy to do that in front of his other disciples.
He thought he would talk about it later.
Zhou Weizong was very fast in handling matters.
Xie Qiao asked everyone to move Sang You from the bed to the ground. There was an empty space around him, and then she placed the scissors, mirrors, and other things on each side.
She placed the star lamp in the rice, corresponding to a seven-star shape.
Then, she took out a talisman and stuck it on Sang You’s body.
The four-star position summoned the generals’ blessings; the true energy from five directions would extend one’s life.
It flowed through the body, and heaven and earth grew together; one’s heart would return to life, and one would live longer.
Xie Qiao sat cross-legged on the ground, muttering incantations. Time passed by slowly, and she still had no intention of getting up.
Old Master Li saw how hard she was working, and his heart ached for her. Especially when he knew that she was not in good health, his heart was even more tormented. His beard made him look listless, and he did not seem to have any spirit at all.
After approximately two hours later, Xie Qiao stopped.
She staggered up from the ground. Inside the house, the seven-star lights flickered faintly, giving off a mysterious aura.
“That’s enough. It’s just that the lights can’t be extinguished.” Xie Qiao walked out of the house. “The lamps can prolong life, but they also have a time effect. If the seven lamps can protect it, it can last for 49 days. If one lamp is extinguished, seven days will be lost.”
The talisman and the lamps trapped the soul in the body. If the soul did not leave the body, there was still a chance of survival.
Xiao Yurong was skeptical. He looked at the lamps and then looked at Li Shiyan.
“I hope we can find a way to cure the cold soon.” Li Shiyan did not doubt Xie Qiao’s ability.
Just as he finished his words, there was another person in the yard.
They saw a young man in blue walking over and looking at Li Shiyan with a confused expression. Then, he saw the lamps placed in the house.
“Teacher, what… are these? Y-You got… a fraud to treat Senior Brother’s illness?!” Jiang Jinlu looked at the old teacher with a shocked expression. He was holding a small box in his hand. It should be the new medicine.
After he finished speaking, he quickly looked around with fear.
“Senior Brother Xiao, Your Highness, you guys are here too? Senior Brother Sang is just sick, so I found some medicine. The traveling merchant said that this medicine was bought from a distant town with an iceberg, so it will definitely work!” As he said this, he quickly handed the medicine to Li Shiyan.
Then, he looked at Xie Qiao warily.
After the Ghost Festival, Xie Qiao avoided wearing white to prevent attracting ghouls, so she changed into an ordinary Taoist robe. At this moment, she looked more like a traveling charlatan than anything else.
Moreover, she had just performed a ritual and was holding something in her hand. It was obvious that she was the culprit.
“The imperial physician also looked at your Third Senior Brother just now. He said… I’m afraid there’s no way to save him. Let’s try this medicine…” Old Master Li sighed.
Jiang Jinlu felt a little sad.
Her teacher also knew that her mother was sick back then. She could have recovered, but because the elders in the family found a witch to treat her, her mother died of illness. However, the witch told others that it was her mother who made a mistake that was not likable to the gods, so they punished her and took her life!
No witches in the world were good!
