Chapter 289 The Untamed 41
Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen's injuries were somewhat complicated, but if you really compare them, they were not very serious injuries, especially the physical injuries, which could be healed by meditation for almost one night. The problem was that their souls were taken advantage of by the ghosts and their inner demons were triggered. If Jiang Xinxin had not forcibly shattered the illusion, they might have become food for the ghosts.
The soul-nourishing wood is very useful, but it is only suitable for long-term nourishment of the soul. It is not something that can quickly restore soul injuries. Fortunately, under the urging of Jiang Xinxin, the soul-nourishing wood can ensure that Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen's injuries will not continue to expand. As long as they both wake up, even if their souls are damaged, even if they have mental demons, their wills will be firmer and their state of mind will become different.
Wei Ying wants to refine the ghost flute as soon as possible and control it in his hands so that he can solve the problem of the mass grave as soon as possible in the future. Jiang Xinxin and Lan Zhan have to devote most of their energy to taking care of the two injured Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen.
Jiang Xinxin was okay, after all, she had taken care of others, but Lan Zhan was not. In the past, he had encountered situations where his companions were injured during night hunting, but he, Han Guangjun, did not need to take care of them personally. The most he had to do was provide his companions with some suitable medicine.
At present, Jiang's disciples have just transported a batch of zombies back to Yunmeng. At the moment, they have no one around to help. Jiang Xinxin had to spend money to find a few people in Yicheng who could do odd jobs, among whom was a little girl pretending to be blind.
Jiang Xinxin didn't intend to expose the girl directly. After all, although she was dressed neatly, one could tell from her slightly dry and yellow hair that she was living in extreme poverty.
Jiang Xinxin asked the middle-aged man who was leading the group, "What's going on with this girl?"
The man blushed and looked very embarrassed, but he still mustered up the courage to say, "I heard that you are immortals with high cultivation and want to hire someone to do some work like serving soup and pouring water. Ah Jing is a poor child. Both her parents died when she was young and she is blind. She was raised by us neighbors who took care of her all the way."
"But please rest assured, Immortal. Although Ah Jing is blind, she has been smart since she was young, and it does not affect her work."
"It's just that I do have some selfish motives. I want to ask the Immortal to check Ajing's eyes. It would be great if she could see things. After all, the only people left in Yicheng are the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Ajing is still young. If we old bones are gone, how will she, a young girl who is blind, survive?"
Jiang Xinxin was indeed knowledgeable and sensible. She agreed to the old man's suggestion and temporarily left this girl Ajing and the other two old ladies to help with the chores of boiling water and carrying water.
Jiang Xinxin could see that Ajing blushed and felt regretful because of the old man's sudden words. Fortunately, she was not enjoying everyone's care with a clear conscience, and Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to expose her. After all, Ajing's eyes were indeed covered with a translucent film, which did affect her vision. At present, because she was young, she acted like a person with 300 to 400 degrees of myopia. When she got older, this film would deepen with age, and by then, she would be almost blind.
Jiang Xinxin made an agreement with Ajing: "I will only pay you half of your salary while you work for me. When the day comes when I don't need you to work anymore, you can use the remaining half of your salary in exchange for me treating your eyes."
Ah Jing agreed quickly, and the other two old ladies who stayed with her were also genuinely happy for her. But when she went out and was alone, she couldn't help but feel nervous. She always felt that her long-standing disguise had been seen through, but the other party seemed to just feel sorry for her, leaving her at a loss as to what to do.
Someone helped with some chores, so Jiang Xinxin and Lan Zhan were freed up. One concentrated on protecting Wei Ying so that he could concentrate on refining the ghost flute, while the other kept an eye on Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen, observing their spiritual conditions at any time, and playing the Heart-Clearing Sound for them when necessary.
The Qingxinyin is not only effective for cultivators, but also has a very obvious calming effect on ordinary people. Jiang Xinxin did not expect that what made Ah Jing feel at ease to stay was the Qingxinyin that Lan Zhan played from time to time for Xiao Xingchen and Song Zichen.
In Jiang Cheng's memory of how Wei Ying refined the ghost flute Chen Qing, Jiang Xinxin guessed that Wei Ying must have lost his golden elixir and thought he had no hope of cultivation, and was cruelly thrown into a mass grave by Wen's minions. So when he was saved from despair, he made a desperate attempt to make the ghost flute Chen Qing recognize him as his master, but due to his limited vision, he did not refine the ghost flute. So after that, when he practiced the ghost way, he also absorbed negative energy and resentment into his body, but he did not have a corresponding method to prevent his unstable state of mind, so he ended up hurting others and himself.
Now Wei Ying has been practicing spiritual energy from beginning to end, and his golden elixir is a real golden elixir, not the hollow elixir in Jiang Cheng’s memory, so it seems that refining the ghost flute is more certain, but it is more difficult to actually do it.
Before, Wei Ying did not fall into the illusion in the ruined temple in the mass grave. Unexpectedly, when he was refining the ghost flute, he was accidentally pulled into the illusion by the ghost flute. Jiang Xinxin realized that something was wrong and quickly cast a spell to stabilize Wei Ying's spirit platform, but was directly pulled into Wei Ying's illusion.
As soon as she entered the illusion, Jiang Xinxin saw Wei Ying staggering in front of her, being helped by someone, almost dragged up a hill with his hands.
Jiang Xinxin could see clearly that the Yiling mass grave was not far away. Although Jiang Cheng did not have the direct memory of Wei Ying being thrown into the mass grave, he had heard about that fact from others.
For convenience, Jiang Xinxin made herself invisible and followed, only to find that the people dragging Wei Ying were Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu.
Jiang Xinxin was distracted for a moment, and then she heard Wen Chao grinning and ordering Wen Zhuliu to use the Danhua Hand to dissolve Wei Ying's golden elixir, and then throw him into the mass grave to fend for himself.
Even though it was an illusion, and even though Wei Ying didn't seem to recognize her, she reflexively drew her sword and killed Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu, saving Wei Ying.
But before Jiang Xinxin had the chance to talk to Wei Ying, the surrounding environment changed again. Jiang Xinxin looked carefully and found that she was in the Supervisory Office of the Wen Clan in Qiongqi Dao, surrounded by people from hundreds of immortal families. She realized with a quick thought that this should be the time when Wei Ying fell off the cliff and died.
In the dark and gloomy miasma, Jiang Xinxin kept moving towards the edge of the cliff. Since Wei Ying fell off the cliff here, she must go to the cliff to look for someone.
But she didn't expect that she was a step too late. Jiang Cheng had already stabbed down with his sword. Although he stabbed the stone platform protruding from the edge of the cliff, Wei Ying was already disheartened and was forcing Lan Zhan, who was holding him, to let go.
Jiang Xinxin rushed over, only able to fly down on her sword and catch Wei Ying, "Axian, don't be obsessed, this is an illusion, let's get out of here!"
