Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Chapter 116: Flower Without a Mirror

The next day, Hua Wujian arrived at Qin Xiao's hotel early in the morning as agreed, and sat on the sofa in the lobby. Tian Miao sat on the floor beside him, playing with the water in the paper cup.

The water rises from the cup and changes into different shapes in the air, sometimes a rabbit, sometimes a tiger...

Hua Wujian rubbed the ring on his hand, took a sip of tea, and frowned slightly.

taste not good.

Hua Wujian thought about it, raised his head, and saw Qin Xiao.

"It's so slow." Hua Wujian put down the teacup slowly and spoke.

Qin Xiao looked at his watch.

Five twenty.

"You came early." Qin Xiao glanced at Tian Miao who was enjoying himself, "Are you going too?"

Tian Miao looked up and nodded: "Yeah, I want to go and have a look."

Hua Wujian glanced at Qin Xiao: "Where's he?"

Qin Xiao paused: "No need to call him."

Hua Wujian raised his eyebrows.

Qin Xiao did not explain: "Let's go first."

……

"What a surprise! I thought you would want to stick to him all day long." Hua Wujian said sarcastically on the way.

Qin Xiao glanced at him and said without getting angry: "I told you, you think too much."

"Am I overthinking it?" Hua Wujian raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "You speak as if you haven't been obsessed with looking for him all day long."

Qin Xiao remained silent and said nothing.

"Why, you suddenly changed your personality after coming here?" Hua Wujian's eyes were full of mockery when he said this, "You are only a dozen years old, but you were still so stubborn when you were several dozen years old before... In fact, you have made more friends in this life than in all your previous lives combined."

Hua Wujian lowered his eyes when he mentioned this: "...What are you going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think?" Hua Wujian looked at him, "Aren't you going to help him find his memory?"

"...It all depends on him." Qin Xiao shook his head, "His life is his own...no matter who he was."

Hua Wujian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he sneered with some disdain.

"You are really generous then." Hua Wujian sneered, "With your personality, you will let the duck fly away even if it is in your mouth."

"...What do you mean?" Qin Xiao was a little confused when he heard him say this.

"…Why did you chase him for so long before?"

"Because he said I could go find him." Qin Xiao was a little confused when he talked about this. "I asked him if we would meet again. He said if I still had such thoughts when I grew up, I could go find him."

Hua Wujian: ...

Hua Wujian's expression gradually became complicated.

"...Then what do you want to do by looking for him?" Hua Wujian seemed a little speechless and rubbed his eyebrows. "He said that you can come to find him, but he is gone, and you still insist. What are you going to do after you find him?"

Qin Xiao remained silent after hearing his question.

Hua Wujian studied his expression, and suddenly an incredible thought occurred to him: "You haven't thought about it at all, have you?"

Qin Xiao: ...

Qin Xiao turned his head.

Seeing Qin Xiao's expression, Hua Wujian immediately confirmed this idea.

Hua Wujian: ...

Hua Wujian's lips trembled slightly, and his smile became more sarcastic: "You really are..."

"There's no need to think so much, right?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but say, "In the end, we didn't find him... and we didn't see him for the last time."

Hua Wujian said nothing, but looked at him sideways until Qin Xiao felt goosebumps all over his body, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

When Qin Xiao and the others arrived, Qiu Puyue had just climbed out of bed. She opened the door in a daze and was a little confused when she saw Qin Xiao.

"Qin Xiao?" Qiu Puryue's brain hadn't woken up yet, so she asked without thinking, "What are you doing so early?"

After he finished speaking, he saw Hua Wujian and then he realized something. Without waiting for Qin Xiao to answer, he said "Oh".

"I almost forgot!" Qiu Puryue slapped her head, came to her senses, turned around and ran into the house, "Wait for me, I'll go clean up."

Qin Xiao watched Qiu Puyue trotting away and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"...You sleep in the same room with her?" Qin Xiao asked as he looked at Yin Xihui who walked out of Qiu Puryue's room.

Yin Xihui was dressed neatly, and had obviously gotten up earlier than Qiu Puyue. He was rolling up his sleeves, and when he heard Qin Xiao's question, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Yes."

"What's wrong?" Qiu Puyue quickly put on her clothes, bit her toothbrush, and ran out. She knocked on Yu Jin's door while leaving a question, "Get up."

"You came very early." Yin Xihui looked at Qin Xiao and said with a smile.

"Have you washed up?" Qin Xiao looked at Yin Xihui's dress and asked.

Yin Xihui nodded.

Qiu Purue woke Yu Jin up, then returned to the room and spit out the foam in her mouth. She brushed her teeth and washed her face before going downstairs to the first floor lobby.

"There are a lot of rooms here, right? Why are you sleeping in one?" Qin Xiao looked at Qiu Puyue who patted her butt nonchalantly and sat on the ground with them, and asked.

"Hmm? Not bad." Qiu Puryue was puzzled. "If Taotie wants to sleep in one room, there will be no vacant rooms. We can't let him sleep in the hall, right? I thought we could just squeeze together and sleep in one bed."

Yin Xihui seemed a little uncomfortable when he heard her say this.

Qin Xiao glanced at him and said nothing.

Yu Jin yawned, jumped down from the second floor, and glanced at Hua Wujian: "You——"

Hua Wujian glanced at him and said, "Use your original form."

Yu Jin paused, seeming a little unhappy with his attitude, but still changed obediently.

Hua Wujian glanced around, and the ring on his hand flashed. A huge wooden box appeared out of thin air, half a person's height.

Hua Wujian slowly took out a sharp knife as long as his arm and walked towards Yu Jin.

"…Is this really a treatment?" Yin Xihui couldn't help but ask, staring at the cold blade in Hua Wujian's hand.

Qin Xiao was relieved: "Yes."

Hua Wujian looked at Yu Jin's injured arm, raised his hand and cut off all the gauze on it, revealing the bloody forearm inside.

Hua Wujian took a quick glance and saw that some skin and flesh were stuck to the gauze. He made a "tsk" sound and raised his hand to cut it off along with the skin and flesh.

"hiss--"

Qiu Puryue took a breath of cold air.

Hua Wujian removed the gauze, looked at the wound, scraped the flesh with a sharp knife to understand the injury, turned around and went back to rummage through the box, and took out dozens of long needles that were half a person's height.

The long needle was not hard and could be pulled into an arc shape, but its length was really scary, which made Qiu Puryue feel a little uncomfortable.

"This...is not meant to be stabbed in, right?" Qiu Puyue couldn't help but ask Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao looked at her hopeful eyes and hesitated: "...Yes."

Qiu Puryue: ...

Qiu Purue looked at the needles and suddenly felt some pity for Yu Jin.

"No need for anesthesia?" Yin Xihui asked.

"No need." This time it was Hua Wujian who answered. He took out a roll of condoms that was several meters long. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was full of long needles as thick as two fingers.

Yin Xihui: ...

How do you fit something so long in this box?

Yu Jin had just recovered from the tearing pain, but when he saw the needle he took out, his eyes suddenly went dark and he was about to step back with his elbow bent.

"Don't be nervous." Hua Wujian heard the noise and turned around as if to comfort him. "I heard that you need to treat the monster. I found someone to give you a shot last night. The length is definitely enough."

…Isn’t this a question of whether it’s enough?

Yu Jin sharpened his claws, trying to retreat.

"Don't worry." Hua Wujian said slowly, "It may not be needed, so we still need to check it first."

Afterwards, Hua Wujian gave Yu Jin a quick checkup and asked him to transform into human form to take his pulse.

Then, he asked him to return to his beast form, saying that he wanted to check if his neck was injured. He jumped onto the neck of the monster, squatted down, rubbed it, and pressed hard with his fingers. Finally, he found something, put four fingers together and pressed hard, but saw that Yu Jin did not react.

The next second, a long needle shot out from the palm of his hand and pierced straight into the back of his head.

When Yu Jin felt something was wrong, it was already too late. He wanted to shake it off, but he felt so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms.

"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel a little dizzy." Hua Wujian said lightly, looking at his body falling down, he stood up as steady as a rock.

"I have studied some magic beasts." Hua Wujian rolled up his sleeves slowly and explained to him, "But your lack of strength is not due to the needle, it's because I put a poison on you - don't be nervous, you won't die."

Yu Jin: ...

Hua Wujian said, glancing at Qiu Puyue who was dazed: "You have no objection, right?"

Qiu Puryue blinked, closed her slightly opened mouth and quickly shook her head: "No, it's okay, please."

Hua Wujian turned his head and it seemed that he didn't care about Qiu Puyue's reply. He just asked politely.

Hua Wujian took out a few half-meter-long needles, pinched the injured arm, searched for the tendons and veins, and inserted them.

Yu Jin closed his eyes and prepared himself for the severe pain, but after waiting for a while, he didn't feel any pain. He just felt soreness in his arm, an indescribable feeling.

Hua Wujian took out a palm-length needle and stabbed it into his claw, letting some blood come out.

After about dozens of minutes, Hua Wujian withdrew the needle and took back his own insect. He kicked Tian Miao and nodded his chin to indicate.

Tian Miao looked at him, then understood what he meant, stood up and ran to Yu Jin, put his hand on his skin, and emitted Qi. The warm Qi penetrated into Yu Jin's tendons, veins, and bone marrow, extinguishing the hot fire, and the external injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After Tian Miao helped to heal him, he looked at him carefully, then ran to Hua Wujian and smiled at him, as if he wanted to hear some compliments.

Hua Wujian was disinfecting the needle, and without even looking up, he patted his head, produced a lollipop and stuffed it into his mouth: "Go play somewhere else."

Tian Miao ran away happily again.

Qin Xiao, who was watching from the side: …

Yu Jin was still limp, lying limply on the ground, raising his eyelids to watch him put away the several-meter-long needle: "...You didn't use it, did you?"

"I didn't say I was going to use it." Hua Wujian said calmly, "I just took it out."

Yu Jin: ...

You don't have to be so scary?

Seeing this, Qiu Puyue walked up to Yu Jin and asked him how he was.

Yu Jin glanced at Hua Wujian and nodded slightly: "I feel better."

Qiu Puryue breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's good."

"What about the other one?" Hua Wujian put away the needle and asked, "Isn't there one that has been poisoned?"

Qiu Puryue was stunned, then called Chi Feng out.

This time it took less than half the time it took Yu Jin.

"It's just a simple poison." Hua Wujian crushed the poisonous insect that fell to the ground and said calmly, "It will be fine after a period of recuperation."

Chi Feng looked at the poisonous insects he coughed out, still a little incredulous: "... So simple?"

"What else?" Hua Wujian disinfected the needle again, still calmly, and put the box away. "It's the simplest Gu, and it's not difficult to make."

Hua Wujian said, glancing at Qin Xiao: "Do you want it?"

"What do I need that for?" Qin Xiao was puzzled.

"If you encounter someone in trouble, use a Gu on him." Hua Wujian said with a blank expression, "I have also developed a sound-response Gu. The worms will eat away the person's internal organs within seven days, leaving only a layer of skin. The person still has his own consciousness, but you can control his words, actions, and life and death at any time."

"I think it's quite convenient." Hua Wujian's expression showed that he was serious. "Do you want it?"

When Qin Xiao heard this, he suddenly thought of Wang Ji, and immediately shook his head to get rid of this dangerous idea.

"Don't want it?" Hua Wujian seemed quite disappointed.

"..." Qin Xiao was silent for a moment and waved at him.

Hua Wujian didn't move at all. Qin Xiao had no choice but to move closer and ask softly.

“Will it be detected?”

"No." Hua Wujian glanced at him, then lowered his voice helplessly, "No one usually notices it in advance."

"...Give me one?" Qin Xiao still chose to take one, "How do I destroy it if I don't want it anymore?"

"Just burn it with fire." Hua Wujian handed him a thumb-sized bottle, "I remember you can cast a spell, the small ones are larvae, be careful."

Then he gave him the antidote.

"This is the antidote. You have to swallow it, don't chew it."

Qin Xiao calmly put it away and nodded at him: "Thank you."

Hua Wujian pulled his mouth and said nothing.

Qiu Purue just watched the two men's stealthy actions, somewhat speechless: "Does he think his actions are very secretive?"

"Don't say that." Yin Xihui sighed and advised softly, "After all, it's not good to be careless about such things."

Qiu Puyue thought about it and nodded, agreeing with what she said.

Hua Wujian helped her so much, Qiu Puyue offered to treat him to a meal - of course, she also brought Tian Miao with her, and they sat and chatted. Qiu Puyue learned about Tian Miao's recent situation, and Hua Wujian listened to Qin Xiao's experience over the years, pulled the corners of his mouth as if he wanted to laugh, but in the end he said nothing.

After Taotie woke up, he also saw Hua Wujian. He raised his eyebrows first, then jumped to his side and sniffed carefully: "Why is there a familiar smell?"

Hua Wujian pushed him away without any hesitation: "Don't touch me."

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled out the corner of his clothes that was stepped on by the Taotie.

"Who are you? You look so familiar." Taotie was still confused and stared at him.

"Qingyi." Hua Wujian stared at the corner of his clothes that was stepped on, seeming a little disgusted.

Taotie was stunned for a moment, then he recalled carefully and suddenly realized: "Oh...you are that human."

Hua Wujian ignored the surprised Taotie and seemed to be uninterested in everything.

This was indeed the case. When Qiu Purue and the others were chatting, he was staring in one direction in a daze, or closing his eyes and pretending to be asleep, with no response to anything around him.

Until Tian Miao tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"Wu Jian... I——"

"Let go." Hua Wujian glanced at the piece of clothes he was holding and said coldly.

Tian Miao quickly let go and carefully looked at his expression.

"Why do they call you Qingyi?" Tian Miao saw him sitting alone in the distance, so he came over and asked.

"..." Hua Wujian raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "I'm surprised that you can still hear this information."

I don’t know if it’s out of habit, but Hua Wujian always speaks with a hint of sarcasm.
