In Xie Lingya’s mind, Liu Lingtong and Phytolacca God were both tree roots that had become spirits, but he never thought they could grow again. But then he thought about it again, even the dead trees would grow again in spring, not to mention they were still “alive”.
Moreover, when Xie Lingya mentioned the God of Phytophthora, he thought of something again and went to pull the paper moon on Shi Changxuan’s shoulder.
As soon as the paper moon that originally covered the Phytolacca God was torn open, there were no sprouts on the top of the Phytolacca God’s head. However, as soon as the Phytolacca God saw Liu Lingtong, he chattered in Shi Changxuan’s ear: “Look at the proud people, they are all happy to sprout.”
“…” Shi Changxuan thought for a while and said, “Maybe he was inspired by the vitality leaking from under the tree. Pei Xiaoshan used this place to nourish his body and hung Liu Lingtong on the tree, so… It sprouted.”
The Ghost King hated Pei Xiaoshan and didn’t reveal so much to him. Pei Xiaoshan didn’t care about Liu Lingtong’s thoughts at that time. He just thought that Xie Lingya had dropped it, and later took it back and placed it on the tree beside him.
“This… what should I do? What impact will it have?” Xie Lingya carefully reached out and touched the green bud, “Maybe I have to water it in the future.”
Shi Changxuan had never encountered this kind of situation, but he speculated based on theory, “It should be a good thing. When the vitality is abundant, the yin energy is low.”
This was a blessing in disguise. Liu Lingtong was originally made from the living soul and willow roots, and he had followed Pei Xiaoshan for so long. Even when Xie Lingya dreamt about it at night, he always looked gloomy and sad. Now, the vitality in his body was not much lower than that of the innate wood spirit Phytolacca God – and even before he saw it, it had sprouted.
Xie Lingya put Liu Lingtong to his ear and asked, “Baby, how do you feel?”
“I, I’m fine,” Liu Lingtong’s voice was normal, “I’m just scared.”
But now seeing Pei Xiaoshan finally being caught, it was no longer afraid and was even happy.
“That’s good.” Xie Lingya breathed a sigh of relief and slowly hung Liu Lingtong up, “Now contact the Taoist Association.”
The ghost king from all directions one looked at me and I looked at you, and said: “That…Mage, then what about us?”
Pei Xiaoshan detained them to work, and now they were taken away by Xie Lingya. They didn’t know what Xie Lingya would do with them.
“Give me back what you ate. Who ate a thousand of my troops before?” Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan had already gone to make a phone call and said, “I won’t hold you captive. Why would I raise a ghost king if I have nothing to do? But you have to help me guard Pei Xiaoshan and the ghosts outside. Pei Xiaoshan can’t control them now. Don’t let them escape until the handover is over…”
Xie Lingya had his mind settled, and as he spoke, he fell back.
Shi Changxuan knelt down in time and caught Xie Lingya with one hand.
Others gathered around, “What’s going on?”
They were worried that something might have happened to Xie Lingya. Just now, Xie Lingya was thrown against the tree. He then possessed the ancestor’s magical power. He also drew so many talismans, and his face was very ugly.
Shi Changxuan touched Xie Lingya’s neck and pulse, “It’s okay, he’s just too tired.”
After arriving at Jiyang.
Someone from the Provincial Association also asked Shi Changxuan if he wanted his help. He himself was injured after all, but Shi Changxuan refused. The Phytolacca God had been whispering in Shi Changxuan’s ears, asking him to pluck the buds off Liu Lingtong’s head while Xie Lingya was asleep, but Shi Changxuan obviously refused.
….
Xie Lingya had a long dream. First, he dreamed of Liu Lingtong. The dark circles under his eyes were much lighter, only a faint blue-red color, and his aura was not so gloomy. Instead, he seemed full of life. He even showed a shy smile to Xie Lingya.
“Our Liu Lingtong is getting cuter and cuter,” Xie Lingya said.
Liu Lingtong hugged Xie Lingya’s legs, looked up at him, and replied seriously: “Because I have absorbed the vitality, and I have the merit of rescuing tens of thousands of ghosts…”
Xie Lingya touched his head and wanted to say something else. But Liu Lingtong looked back and ran away.
Then Wang Yuji appeared. Xie Lingya took a look and thought, holy shit, there was someone who crashed the car in the dream. He quickly said: “Uncle, is the case over?”
“We are already counting the ghosts, and Pei Xiaoshan has also been arrested. The one in the underworld has also looked at the case and it’s settled.” Wang Yuji said with satisfaction, “Xiao Ya, you did a good job and understood the heart seal.”
“Uncle, did you pass on the heart seal on purpose?” But then he suddenly asked, “Why didn’t you just say it.”
Wang Yuji said with a smile: “If I had given too many instructions, it would not be as profound as your own understanding.”
“Okay…” Xie Lingya said a few more words to Wang Yuji, but then Wang Yuji had to rush back to handle official duties so he let Xie Lingya have a good rest.
Xie Lingya also felt exhausted all over, and his spirit felt dry. He was paralyzed in the darkness for an unknown period of time, and then he slowly opened his eyes amidst the call of Hai Guanchao.
It had been too long since he had seen the sun. The flash of light stimulated Xie Lingya to squint his eyes and turn his head. He felt that his whole body was sore as if he had been run over by a stone. It must be the sequelae of excessive use.
What followed was a strong sense of hunger and thirst, “I’m so hungry.”
When he saw it, he seemed to have returned to Baoyang Temple, and Hai Guanchao was pulling his wrist. Shi Changxuan, Zhang Daoting, Xiao Dian and others were watching beside the bed.
Everyone was happy to see Xie Lingya wake up, and Xiao Dian immediately stumbled out to get him something to eat.
Xie Lingya was then helped to drink a glass of water, “Why, why are you here, am I okay?”
Their behavior made him feel as if he had a serious illness.
Zhang Daoting sweated and said: “Xie, senior brother, you slept for two whole days. We took the medicine and gave it to you. There is no danger to your body. However, your postgraduate entrance examination is about to start in half an hour…”
“Pfft!” Xie Lingya spat out half of the water he still had in his mouth, “Why did I sleep for so long! Help me get up quickly, I’m going to take the exam!” Knowing that there was only half an hour left before he woke up, no wonder everyone was calling him here.
A small amount of porridge was brought in, “Let’s eat something first, the exam will take a while.”
“Eat while walking.” Xie Lingya felt that it was too late, and he cursed Pei Xiaoshan again for causing trouble, which made him so embarrassed now.
“Can you pass the exam like this?” Shi Changxuan asked the question on everyone’s mind, but they all knew that Xie Lingya had been preparing for a long time, so they didn’t dare to say it.
“Whether I can pass the exam or not, I have to go. I’ve already taken the exam twice.” No one could stop Xie Lingya’s desire to take the exam, and he was helped into the taxi.
Shi Changxuan and Hai Guanchao sent him to school together, brought him exam tools and some bread, and made him eat it on the roadside.
The driver looked at it and asked, “Are you going to the hospital?”
“Go to Quedong College!” Xie Lingya said, “Master, please drive as fast as you can. I’m going to be late for the exam.”
The driver looked in the rearview mirror while driving. Xie Lingya, this young man looked very good, but his face was pale and his lips did not have any blood. He even needed help when he walked. There seemed to be a bandage on his shoulder. So, he couldn’t help but say: “You are injured and you are still going to take the exam. You are so strong. Did you fall?”
Xie Lingya’s shoulder was injured by a fall, his hand was injured by a boneless grip, and there were some scratches and bumps in other places. They were only discovered after an inspection after he came back. He was in the mountains at that time, so he couldn’t take it into consideration.
Even Shi Changxuan also had many injuries on his body.
“No, fighting with others.” Xie Lingya swallowed his food and took the time to answer.
Driver: “…”
The driver drove all the way to Quedong College. There were only three minutes left before the written examination. Hai Guanchao and Shi Changxuan helped Xie Lingya to the door, and the security guards were shocked.
“I, I’m here to take the exam. Can my friend send me in? I’m injured.” Xie Lingya took out his admission ticket.
The security guard was also confused. He didn’t seem to say that he was injured and couldn’t take the exam, but the fact that Xie Lingya couldn’t walk made him feel scared.
“Please, my legs are weak and my body is a little injured. I might fall.” Xie Lingya said.
“Okay.” The security guard took the person over, “I’ll help you in.”
“Thank you.” Xie Lingya turned around and said OK to the two of them, “Wait for me.”
Shi Changxuan and Hai Guanchao were speechless and confused. Feeling nervous, Shi Changxuan sighed.
When Xie Lingya was helped into the examination room, the teachers and students were shocked. What kind of person was this, physically disabled yet strong-willed, who couldn’t walk but still had to take the exam?
“Classmate, you…” the invigilator looked Xie Lingya up and down, “Is it okay?”
“Okay!” Xie Lingya took out the pen slowly. He couldn’t raise his hand too fast now.
Fortunately, after sleeping for two days, most of his energy had recovered, and he could do the questions, but he wrote more slowly. His wrist was pinched hard by the immortal skeleton. Hai Guanchao had been applying medicine on it for the past two days, but he was still not fully recovered.
“Ahem.” Xie Lingya kept coughing while doing the questions, and his chest felt a little uncomfortable. The invigilator kept staring at him nervously, fearing that he would faint on the spot.
Fortunately, Xie Lingya persisted, and there was a second interview later.
In the re-examination, interview scores accounted for a large proportion. Xie Lingya sat outside the classroom. When it was his turn, he slowly walked in while holding on to the wall.
Several examiners in the classroom were chatting and discussing the candidates, but their voices gradually became quieter as they looked at the student who came in slowly holding on to the wall…
Examiners: “…?”
“Hello teachers, my name is Xie Lingya, I’m also an undergraduate student from Quedong…” Xie Lingya introduced himself and added, “I acted bravely and got injured, so it’s not convenient for me to move around. It’s not a disability.”
The examiner breathed a sigh of relief, “You are brave enough to act for justice. You are young and a nice person, you just scared us.”
Everyone laughed, “But you suddenly came in while holding on to the wall. I thought you were in the wrong place. It’s not easy for you. You were injured before the exam and you still had to come to the exam. Ah.”
“Yeah, it’s okay, I can still do the questions.”
Everyone praised him for his strength and briefly asked why he acted bravely. Xie Lingya only said that he was catching thieves.
Then came the formal questions. The examiners saw that Xie Lingya was good-looking and brave enough to get hurt. His impression score had already gone up. After asking a few questions, seeing that he answered them well, they finally asked a not particularly difficult question for his major.
Xie Lingya opened his mouth to answer but felt the tightness in his chest well up again. He frowned and said, “I think…”
The examiners saw that as soon as the young man opened his mouth, a stream of dirty blood flowed from his mouth, he was vomiting blood while talking, and everything turned messy in an instant.
“…Wait a minute.” Xie Lingya also noticed it. He turned his head and spat out all the blood, feeling that his chest felt much more comfortable.
Examiners: !!!
Xie Lingya stood up again and quickly began to tell the answer, “My idea of solving the problem is like this…”
The examiners: “…”
