Chapter 170 Who is the instigator?
Seeing Xinyi like this, Liu Xia hurried forward to ask what was wrong, but Xinyi just shook her head, frowned and thought about other things. After a long time, she asked Xiang Luoli: "Let me ask you, did you move all the water from Fengwu Village to this place?"
Luoli nodded and said yes. Xinyi asked again why. Luoli sighed and looked at the cardamom in the water.
"If a mermaid stays out of water for too long, she will die of exhaustion. Although I am not afraid of death, Doukou is on the verge of death. She relies on my spiritual power to keep her alive every day. If I die, no one will be able to save her..."
Banxia put away the talisman in her hand, stood up and asked, "Isn't it said that the mermaid pearl can cure all diseases? Since you are a mermaid, then make another one."
Luo Li sighed again after hearing this: "It is not as easy to get a mermaid pearl as it sounds. Some mermaids may not shed tears once in their entire lives, but those who shed tears and turn them into pearls have spent their entire lives nurturing that one pearl. Moreover, this water is too plain compared to the sea. Even if I have the heart to shed tears, I don't have the strength to do so..."
"You mean we need saltier sea water?" Banxia interjected.
Luo Li shook his head again: "When I say bland, I don't mean salty. There has always been a saying among us mermaids that the earth was created by the ocean."
"Before the earth was created, the whole world was a vast ocean. At that time, the sea and the sky were one color, and it was difficult to distinguish the clear from the turbid. Later, a mermaid appeared in the ocean. I don't know what power he used, but he actually separated the sea and the sky, and then transformed into the earth, which led to the current mortal world. Therefore, the spiritual energy in the sea is the most concentrated, and if the mermaids want to condense their tears into pearls, they must be surrounded by such spiritual energy for a long time."
Banxia sighed inwardly upon hearing this. Luo Li was already so difficult to deal with now. If they let him stay in the sea, he would probably defeat them in a moment.
Liu Xia frowned upon hearing this and leaned towards Xinyi and said, "This sounds similar to what we said about the great god Pangu creating the world. What he said seems to be more convincing. Could it be that Pangu is a merman?"
Xinyi pondered for a moment and asked Xiang Luoli, "Since this is the nature of the mermaids, it is understandable, but you can't monopolize all the water sources. How can the people living down the mountain survive with the rainwater?"
Luo Li felt guilty when he heard this: "I am indeed sorry for those people down the mountain, but I do have my own difficulties."
"What's the reason?" Everyone was puzzled. "Tell me about it."
"If this water cannot become living water, it will inevitably become filthy. Once the mermaids come into contact with filthy water, they will lose their magic power, so I have no choice but to gather all the water here to ensure the purity of the water source. In addition, although Doukou has been knocked unconscious by my magic, the fetus in her belly is still growing. Even though Doukou is just a mortal, her child is also half a mermaid. If it cannot be raised with clean water, I am afraid it will die in the womb."
No wonder he was afraid of Banxia's talisman, so that's the reason.
But Banxia was furious when he heard this: "Your wife is already in such a state, yet she still wants to have children. Do you only treat her as a tool for bearing children?"
Luo Li quickly explained: "Of course I love Doukou very much, but you don't know, before Doukou fell into a coma, she asked me to keep the baby for her. Even if I was unwilling, I didn't want to go against her wishes..."
Looking at the frighteningly white Doukou in the water, Luo Li felt a pang of heartache. As everyone knows, the demon poison becomes stronger the earlier it is exposed. Now that Doukou is like this, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover...
As he thought of this, tears welled up in Luo Li's eyes, and when they fell to the ground, they had already condensed into crystals. But just when everyone thought that this was the mermaid pearl, they saw the tear crystals shattered and exploded one by one, making a sound like broken glass.
It seems that what Luo Li said is true.
Just as everyone was sighing, they heard Zhao Wuyang shouting not far away: "Brother Xinyi, come quickly! Come and save Brother Seven!"
He was so busy questioning Luo Li that he forgot about Long Qi!
Everyone hurriedly ran towards Zhao Wuyang, only to see that Long Qi had now turned into a bloody man, with blood oozing out from the places where he was injured by Luo Li.
Xinyi quickly pulled off Long Qi's clothes, only to see that the wounds on his body were spreading continuously, as if they were corroded.
"This is a spell that has hit him..." Luo Li said from the side.
Hearing this, Zhao Wuyang immediately stood up and grabbed his robe, shaking it and roaring, "Since it's your magic, quickly untie it over there. If anything happens to the seven of them, I will definitely not let you go!"
Long Qi ended up like this because he protected him. He felt guilty and was naturally a little irritable.
Xinyi quickly grabbed Zhao Wuyang and asked Xiang Luoli as she pulled him, "My brother is like this. Since it was caused by you, I think you should know how to solve it."
Hearing Xinyi's question, Luoli hesitated for a moment: "I do know how to solve it, but..."
Upon hearing this, Banxia angrily pulled up Luo Li's clothes and shouted hastily: "What are you talking about? You hurt him first, which was wrong in the first place, and now you hurt him again. If you don't heal him quickly, I will stick a mud talisman on you!"
It was originally just a thin piece of cloth that barely covered her body, and when she pulled it, it was about to fall off, so Liu Xia hurriedly pulled her aside.
"Why are you so impatient? Let's hear what he has to say first."
Banxia glanced at Liu Xia, then snorted at Luo Li: "Although I am not familiar with Long Qi, I have been taught by Elder Fu Cang. Now that her disciple is in trouble, I will naturally help. Speaking of which, this Long Qi is your brother, I see that you are not in a hurry, which is strange."
Liu Xia looked innocent when he heard that: "It's not that I'm not anxious, but I should think of a solution in the current situation. Being anxious won't help."
He really didn't know why Banxia was so hostile towards Luoli. Logically speaking, this should be the first time they met, so how could there be any deep hatred between them?
Banxia shook off Liu Xia's pull and sat down on a big rock beside him angrily: "If you are not anxious, then don't be anxious. You are not my brother anyway, so your life or death has nothing to do with me!"
Liu Xia was helpless seeing her like this, but Long Qi was seriously injured, so he should think of a way to save him first.
Thinking of this, Liu Xia said to Luo Li: "Since there is a way, please treat him quickly. Human life is at stake and we cannot delay any longer."
Luo Li frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly: "Then take off his clothes and send him into the pool..."
Banxia's face turned red and she quickly got up from the rock and ran away - it turned out that he wanted to strip the man clean, no wonder he was so hesitant.
"Do you want to... strip naked?" Zhao Wuyang hesitated, "Is this... is this okay?"
……
Long Qi was in a trance, and felt as if he had fallen into the clouds. His whole body was limp and he couldn't exert any strength. However, although he was weak, he felt unbearably cold all over, and he couldn't help but... "A-choo!"
After a sneeze, Long Qi woke up immediately. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Zhao Wuyang's concerned face. With a glance, he saw Xinyi and Liu Xia were squatting beside him.
"Seventh Brother! Seventh Brother! How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" As soon as Zhao Wuyang saw Long Qi open his eyes, he immediately shook him.
Long Qi just felt dizzy, he quickly grabbed Zhao Wuyang's hand: "Even if I ignore you, you will shake me and cause me trouble..."
Zhao Wuyang finally felt relieved when he saw that Long Qi's hand was still strong enough to hold him, but he couldn't help shedding tears. Seeing him like this, Long Qi started to tease him: "You are so old, but you are still like a child. Men don't cry easily, and I'm not dead yet!"
Seeing him like this, Liu Xia knew that he must be fine, so he just smiled and said, "I thought your soul must be wandering in the sky this time, and I was thinking about how to explain to Miss Lingxiang in the future!"
Hearing this, Long Qi raised his fist and punched Liu Xia in anger, then struggled to get up, but...
But he was only wearing an outer robe, and now when he sat up straight, he realized that he was naked. When he realized that he was naked, he saw Banxia opposite him...
Long Qi immediately became flustered and quickly curled up his body, grabbing the outer robe to cover his chest. However, whether the robe was too small or what, it covered his upper body but left his lower body exposed. If he covered his lower body, his upper body would be exposed.
He kept pulling her up and down like this, and as he did so, he shouted at Liu Xia Xinyi, "Where are my clothes? What have you done to me?"
Long Qi's appearance was just like those people described in operas, who looked as if they had been defiled. Xinyi and Liu Xia wanted to laugh when they saw this, but they were too embarrassed to laugh in front of him, so they could only turn their heads away and hold their breath.
Although Banxia turned around, she could still hear Long Qi's shrill voice behind her, which made her feel comfortable and a little amused. She suddenly felt like teasing him and cleared her throat and said, "Why are you screaming? What's the big deal? I, a woman, didn't scream even though you stabbed me like that, but you screamed instead. It seems like I wanted to see you." As she said that, she pretended to turn around.
Long Qi had been staring at Banxia, and seeing her like this, he hurriedly shouted, "Don't move!" Then he asked Zhao Wuyang where the clothes were.
Banxia would naturally not turn around. Even though she was a casual person, she still had the reserve of a woman. She just wanted to play a trick on Long Qi.
"The men in our village are real men, strong and healthy. At worst, they are mature men. You have a small body and you don't even have 2 taels of flesh. What is there to hide?"
Banxia said this and recited it again, but Liu Xia felt uncomfortable when she heard it. It seemed as if she had seen it before when she said it.
Just when Liu Xia wanted to say something, he heard Ban Xia speak again: "Besides, it's not the first time that your body has been seen by others. You are an experienced person. What is there to be ashamed of..."
After hearing what Banxia said, Long Qi immediately stopped putting on his clothes, looked at Xinyi and the other two and asked in a low voice: "Who... who of you told her something?"
Although it was whispered, Banxia heard it clearly: "How could they tell me this? I naturally heard it from Elder Fu Cang."
Hearing this, Long Qi's face suddenly turned bitter: Ling Xiang must think he is not honest enough. It would be fine if he just watched it himself, but he actually told these things to others. This... this...
How can he live his life when he returns?
Long Qi put on his clothes in a decadent manner, and kept complaining about Lingxiang in his heart. Just as he put on his clothes, he saw Luo Li standing by the pool not far away.
Seeing Luo Li, Long Qi was startled and quickly pulled Zhao Wuyang behind him, looking around for the Seven Star Dragon Abyss. Seeing him like this, Liu Xia quickly reached out and grabbed him.
"You were able to recover so quickly, all because of him. He doesn't look like a bad person. Maybe there is some misunderstanding." He then recounted Luo Li's situation to Long Qi.
Upon hearing this, Long Qi looked towards the pool with doubt, and saw that there was indeed a woman lying at the bottom of the pool. However, the strange thing was that the woman's face looked a little strange...
At this moment, Luo Li suddenly sighed. Everyone was puzzled. Liu Xia hurried forward to ask the reason, only to see him shaking his head and then pointing his hand into the water.
Everyone looked into the water. The originally crystal clear water now seemed a little turbid. Perhaps it was because Long Qi had just been soaked in the water. The color of the water was as if it had been dotted with cinnabar, but it was not very obvious.
"I gathered the spirit of moonlight in this water, which has the healing effect, but it is now stained with blood. Now I can't enter this pool again. But if I don't go in, I'm afraid I won't live long..." Luoli looked at Doukou at the bottom of the pool, his eyes full of reluctance.
At this moment, blood appeared in the water of the pond, and it swam like a tadpole and burrowed into Doukou's body. Luo Li was shocked and tried to jump into the water, but was stopped by Banxia. He was extremely anxious and struggled to take off his clothes, but he didn't know what Banxia did to prevent him from escaping.
"Look carefully, don't be so impatient!"
After hearing Banxia's roar, Luoli surprisingly listened to her. Everyone looked into the water and found that it was Doukou who was absorbing the blood in the churning water, not the blood that was penetrating into her body. As the blood was absorbed, Doukou's face looked less pale than before, and gradually began to have a red color.
Seeing this, Luo Li was ecstatic. The fact that Doukou could be like this meant that the evil poison in her body was being diluted!
Just when Luo Li was overjoyed, the churning in the water suddenly stopped. When everyone thought that calm had returned, they saw blue mist slowly emanating from Doukou's body.
"It's the poison from the mermaid!" Luo Li shouted.
I saw the evil poison constantly seeping out in the water, just like a brush dipped in ink thrown into an ink pool full of clear water, constantly spreading, or like the hot steam from a soup bowl full of delicious food, constantly steaming.
After about a cup of tea, the water in the pond turned a deep blue, just like the sea water in the distance!
However, no more evil poison seeped out of Doukou's body at the bottom of the pond!
At this moment, her eyes trembled and she looked at...
It looks like he's waking up!
Seeing this, Luo Li hurriedly wanted to jump into the water, but Banxia still held him tightly.
"If you jump in now, you will lose all your spiritual power!"
But Doukou was about to wake up, so she couldn't stay in the water forever, right? Besides, the water was full of poisonous monsters!
At this moment, Banxia looked at Long Qi.
Long Qi was confused and turned to look at Liu Xia, asking her what she meant. Liu Xia frowned and immediately knew what Ban Xia meant, so she immediately kicked Long Qi...
