Chapter 55
Chapter 55
When the servant knocked on the door anxiously, Lin Qingquan was about to go to bed.
It is the duty of the imperial physician to treat the sudden emergency of the royal family in time.
Led by the attendant, Lin Qingquan and his imperial physician put on a windproof cloak and headed for Asuka's palace.
"The prince was fine at the bidding meeting tonight, and there was nothing wrong with his speech and movements. How could he suddenly have hysteria?" On the way, Lin Qingquan couldn't help asking in doubt.
"It's a relapse of an old illness. Back then, His Highness's mother died of illness, and His Highness also suffered from hysteria after being hit. Later, he gradually recovered." The waiter said, "After coming back tonight, it seems that he was greatly stimulated and fell ill again. It's..."
Hei Mulian remained calm on the surface.
Will hysteria be related to taking away the keys?
He gritted his back teeth.If so, he deserves it.
Halfway through the walk, a faint red circle appeared on the horizon, accompanied by a burnt smell.The fire started very quickly, and above the exquisite Japanese-style buildings, there was thick smoke like sewage and the flames soaring into the sky.
"Where is it?" Lin Qingquan tightened the collar of his cloak, his voice erratic in the strong wind.
The servant turned pale in shock, and the lantern rolled to the ground with a thud, "That direction...is His Royal Highness Asuka's residence!"
A mile away, the heat was blowing towards our face, and the fire was very powerful, not limited to the area of the prince's mansion.
The servant left the two of them on the spot, and ran towards the burning house.Loyal, he is going to save his master.
There are rows of wooden houses in the Imperial Palace, and once it burns, it will be unstoppable.
The servants rang the bell and rang the bell on the fire watchtower, jingling and jingling to wake up everyone in the Imperial Palace.
Tongxin and Woyan, who were dormant at the corner of the Imperial Palace, came out one after another, each with a hook and a rake.It was too late to extinguish the fire with water, and the only way to stop the spread was to destroy the burned houses.
This is bound to be a fire that will be recorded in history, because it will cause heavy casualties and will be full of powerful people.
Hei Mulian looked at the raging fire, her eyes were burning bright yellow, "Tonight, an important person will die in the fire."
Lin Qingquan still heard it amidst the roaring fire, and asked him, "What important person? How important?"
"He is enough to mark the replacement of Edo."
Lin Qingquan let out an ah, and looked into the distance worriedly, "This man can't be the little prince, will he die?"
Hearing that Lin Qingquan showed concern for the little prince, Hei Mulian felt sour in her heart, so sore that her whole body felt dry and hot.
He has a strong sense of crisis.As long as he sensed the slightest sign that Lin Qingquan might be lost, his heart would feel as if it had been etched by acid, so acid that he would go into heat immediately.
At the beginning, the devil tire endured the pain of not eating the host, but now it is replaced by installment debt, torturing him with estrus again and again.
He glanced at Lin Qingquan, and held back, "You don't have to worry about him too much."
"But he is suffering from hysteria, and the palace where he lives is on fire. A patient in the fire scene is very dangerous no matter what." Lin Qingquan said.
"So even if you said you hated him, you still don't want him dead, do you?"
Lin Qingquan smiled, "What's your anger with him? He's just a child with no strings in his head. The royal family has no real power, and he has no power to restrain a chicken. Annoying is annoying, but it's not worth being as knowledgeable as him..."
Rivals in love are divided into men, women, young and old.
Hei Mulian had blue veins protruding from her forehead, and her hair grew a lot all of a sudden.He finally couldn't help it anymore, "Lin Qingquan, are you stupid?! Do you know how many people around you are staring at you, racking their brains to get close to you, wishing to eat you like me! You are so stupid to worry about others... Do you know? Do you know what other people think of you?!"
Lin Qingquan said seriously: "Why are you so angry, are you in heat?"
Hei Mulian exhaled hot air, took her eyes off Lin Qingquan, suppressed the desire to attack and occupy him, and warned him: "When I am in heat, don't get too close to me, and try not to talk to me. "
As a result, Lin Qingquan quietly took his hand, "Bite me."
Hei Mulian turned her back, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am a human being, a person of the same origin as you, and I cannot bite you every time like a wild beast. Then you will never regard me as a real person, and then ..."
His words stop here.
"Then what?"
Then you will never love me equally.
Hei Mulian did not express this thought.
What else in this world can bring more pleasure than eating and possessing the body of the host, and what is more in line with nature than indulgence and depravity.
But because he loves Lin Qingquan, he wants to go against his nature.
"Let's separate for a while, and I'll come back to you when I get better."
Lin Qingquan frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to calm down." Hei Mulian said, "By the way, help put out the fire."
The fire continued into the middle of the night.
When the fire was brought under control, it happened to be slightly bright.
The remaining smoke from the ruins rose and slowly poured into the white sky, and finally the dawn was dyed the same grayish blue as the smoke.
The wreckage of the house was emitting green smoke, like a skeleton with its flesh removed.
More than half of the Imperial Palace was burnt to the point that not a single blade of grass could grow. Many people were fainted in their sleep and then burned to death. The losses and casualties were quite heavy.
Lin Qingquan walked to the treatment center for the wounded.
Stretchers came in and out here, some of the wounded were moaning in pain, and some were already dead.
"Your Excellency Kobayashi is here too, are you here to save people?" Mentaro walked over wearing a wet cloak.
Mentaro's face was wet with soot and his arms were burned.The bloody wound was bandaged in white cloth, and there were faint signs of inflammation.
"You were injured." Lin Qingquan asked, "Is the shogunate house on fire too?"
"That's not true. I went out and was injured while directing the firefighting." Mingtaro smiled wryly, "Every building in the Imperial Palace is priceless, and now most of it is destroyed, and the treatment of the casualties... These are all It needs to be paid by the shogunate, and the cost is definitely a lot. Compared with these, my little injury is nothing."
After finishing speaking, Mingtaro looked at Lin Qingquan for a while, and asked, "Where did Baiyi Engong go, why didn't he come with you?"
"He..." Lin Qingquan said, "He abandoned me and went to fight the fire."
"That's not okay, how can the imperial doctor not have the imperial doctor by his side?"
Lin Qingquan smiled: "He can do whatever he wants. Now I don't want to be as selfish as before and control him everywhere."
At this time, two stretchers were brought in.
The cloth covering the wounded is golden satin cloth, which looks like two gold bars strayed into the room full of coarse linen, which is very eye-catching.
The waiter put down the stretcher and knelt down in front of Mingtaro, "My lord, His Majesty the Emperor... collapsed. His Royal Highness Asuka is also dying. I'm afraid it's too bad."
The yellow satin cloth was lifted, revealing charred flesh and bare bones.The charred corpses were like red, black and yellow crayon graffiti, too horrific to look at directly.
Seeing this highly burned body, Lin Qingquan's first reaction was palpitations, palpitations for Hei Mulian.
Mu Mu went to put out the fire, would he also get burned?
Then he dismissed the idea.That person is a powerful god who escapes birth, old age, sickness and death, even injuries can't help him, so there is no need to worry about it.
The old emperor was completely unrecognizable, if not for the seven shiny keyholes still on the charred corpse, he would have been completely unrecognizable.
In my memory, the emperor, who seemed to be superior but actually a bit useless, was burned to death just like that.
Death is the greatest karma for human beings, but it is completed very quickly.
The waiter carried down the emperor's appalling corpse, preparing to be buried in the coffin.
Lin Qingquan walked to another stretcher.Lying on this stretcher is Prince Asuka.Through the same horrible and flesh and bones, I can see the weak beating heart.
The little prince's face was still intact, but more than half of his limbs and torso were burned, and he was close to dying with his last breath.
Open the gold box that he carries with him, and there is a devil's heart inside.
This heart is taken from the Wind Chime Demon.It was originally intended to treat Kusama Hui's arm, but now it was used on the little prince by accident.
Mingtaro was a little surprised: "Is this a heavenly medicine?"
Lin Qingquan nodded, "It's the heart of the demon I hunted before."
"To tell the truth from Imperial Doctor Xiaolin, the shogunate secretly hid three heavenly medicines, just to save lives in critical situations. Such heavenly medicines are hard to come by, and Imperial Doctor Xiaolin can take out one with him, which really surprises me. "
"It's all thanks to Hei Mulian." Thinking of Lin Qingquan, he couldn't hide his smile, "He is the strongest and a good hunter."
The doctor and attendant boiled sliced hearts into broth.Fortunately, Asuka's esophagus was not injured. Although he was unable to swallow due to shock, he was still able to use his feathers to pour soup down his throat.
Consciousness gradually became clear, and what recovered together with the burned and festered flesh was the memory of Asuka's dream.
The confiscated key, the golden shrine, the villain who looked like Lin Qingquan, the pouring oil and the lit candle... everything was played before his eyes in the correct order.
The devil's heart healed his burns, along with his hysteria.
He felt that the world was bright at first, but then suddenly darkened after waking up.
It turned out that Kobayashi never treated me well from beginning to end.
He sat up straight, and shouted at the doctor who was serving him: "Who told you to save me?! You might as well let me die! I'm going to kill you! Kill you, kill you, kill you!" !"
The doctor was dumbfounded.Lin Qingquan popped up, "I heard that Your Highness is suffering from hysteria, why, now that you have eaten the devil's heart, you can't see it, okay?"
Hearing Kobayashi's voice, Asuka froze for a moment, looking up at him as if welcoming a god.Just like when we first met, he once again grabbed Lin Qingquan's sleeve tightly and refused to let go, just to get an answer, "Did you save me?"
"It doesn't matter who saved you, what matters is that you survived."
So Asuka asked again, "The one who saved me was you?"
Lin Qingquan thought about it and said, "To be precise, it was the devil's heart that saved you, but I actually did very little."
"That's why you saved me!" Asuka was even more convinced.He looked around Lin Qingquan, "The big evil is gone, you don't have to be afraid, you don't have to be afraid, you finally found a chance to save me, didn't you?"
His thoughts and words and deeds are inexplicable.From the very beginning, the little prince gave Lin Qingquan an unusual impression, and now he exudes a neurotic absurdity.
Feeling that Asuka was gradually turning into a crazier lunatic, he didn't feel sorry for it, and he didn't bother to get angry, only feared that he would avoid it.
"Don't get me wrong. I can save everyone, not just you." Lin Qingquan looked indifferent, "Mumu is going to put out the fire, then I'll save people."
He turned around and disappeared among the various wounded.
Asuka wanted to jump out of bed to find him, but Mentaro stopped the way and said, "His Royal Highness, your father was killed in a fire. Although it is cruel to say this, you will be enthroned soon. Please be prepared to lead the court."
The bad news of his father's death disappeared in Asuka's heart like water dissolving in water.
He muttered to himself: "So, I am the emperor."
Mingtaro thought he heard it wrong, and said, "Because your father died."
Asuka was terribly calm, "I know, you've said it before."
His calm is chilling.Mingtaro was stunned, but he looked like a little adult, and said calmly: "Since I am the emperor, can I reset the ownership of the imperial doctor?"
"That's it?" Mingtaro hated iron but steel.Thinking of having to deal with such ignorant children from now on, he had a huge headache, "When you become emperor, the first thing you do is do this?!"
"Yes." Asuka said righteously, "I want Xiaolin Qingquan to be my exclusive imperial doctor. He will be mine now."
The dead and wounded were carried in continuously.Lin Qingquan lingered in the medical hall until dawn, and he didn't stop the scalpel until someone reminded him that it was time to rest.
The scalpel was the silver knife presented by Ash Kusama.
After soaking the silver knife in wine to sterilize it, he felt his feet soft.For three hours without stopping, he was so tired that his blood sugar was low, and his eyes turned black.
Why hasn't Mumu come back yet?
The more Lin Qingquan thought about it, the more anxious he became.
Although his eyesight is as strong as that of a god, if he mimics his heart into foreign objects such as shoes, if his heart is burned during the fire fighting process, wouldn't he die on the spot from a broken heart.
Just thinking about it made my eyes swell, causing pain in my lungs, and even breathing hard.It turns out that this is the feeling of angina.
Under the urging of the doctor and attendant, he drank a bowl of sugar water, walked to the smoke-blackened window, and raised the curtain with a folding fan.
The scenery outside the window came into view.If the ruins and dregs are exposed to the sun, without the shadow that breeds badness, they will completely lose their souls, and they will become ruins and dregs even more.
"Laoyan didn't put out the fire until dawn." Mingtaro walked over, "Most half of the Imperial Palace has been burnt to ruins, and it will take at least six years to completely rebuild it."
"Six years, does it take so long?" Lin Qingquan asked.
"Six years or more." Mingtaro said with a sad face, "In this magical world, killing demons, rescuing people, and hunting every day is already a huge expense. Now that the imperial palace is on fire, the people's panic may not increase, and their lives will also suffer. Even tighter."
Lin Qingquan asked: "Have you found out the cause of the fire?"
"I only know that Prince Asuka's palace was the first to burn, but who knows exactly how the fire started. Perhaps a candle fell, a lantern broke, and the north wind blows strongly, and it can easily lead to a fire. Edo , is a place where house fires and earthquakes occur frequently.”
At this time, Prince Asuka suddenly appeared, like a ghost in the dark, quietly grabbing Lin Qingquan's sleeve in a dark corner, "Xiao Lin, have you rested yet?"
Lin Qingquan saw that it was him, and said impatiently: "What do you want to do?"
"I want you to follow me from now on." The little prince said, "I am about to ascend the throne, and I order you to be my personal physician. You are not allowed to see anyone's illness except me."
Lin Qingquan sneered unabashedly: "Are you the emperor? Let's talk about it after you officially ascend the throne."
"Your Highness, the crown prince, you will not be able to ascend the throne until the shogunate's approval document has been handed down." Mentaro emphasized from the side.
Asuka pouted, a little unwillingly.
Looking back, even though God took away my key, he still treated me kindly and gave me a chance to get Xiaolin Qingquan.Wouldn't a pure and original Xiaolin Qingquan be better than one modified with a key?
If I think about it that way, I'm a blessing in disguise.
He and his wish come true, just one step away.
Asuka clutched Lin Qingquan's cuff tightly again, and made a promise: "Okay, then wait a little longer, it will be soon."
A white dove flew in from the window, and its red beak pecked at the bird's stubborn hand.Asuka felt the pain and was forced to let go.
The white dove flapped its wings in mid-air, then turned around and flew towards the door, and finally landed on a person's shoulder.
Hei Mulian stood upright, together with the fat white dove on her shoulder, like a white dot in ink, very high-spirited.
If a person is handsome enough, everything around him becomes noisy, superfluous and noisy.
The blood in Lin Qingquan's whole body was surging.
He rushed over excitedly, grabbed Hei Mulian by the collar, angry and worried, "Why did you come back?! I thought you were dead!"
"I was fighting the fire, and I didn't feel calm until dawn." Hei Mulian smiled refreshingly, and her hair returned to the refreshing short hair. The line of the mandible and the bright sunlight outside shone together.
This smile made the whole medical hall flourish.Lin Qingquan was stunned, and with unspeakable grievances, he leaned on him gently and said, "Then why did you come here now, it's going to be so late."
"I found something."
"What did you find?"
The white dove flew and spit out a seed in Lin Qingquan's palm.
"The seeds of what plant?" Lin Qingquan asked.
Hei Mulian only smiled and said, "Look."
The shell of the seed explodes suddenly, sprouts and branches grow, swollen buds form, and finally bloom into flowers.The whole process takes less than ten seconds.
Like a time-lapse photography, this flower has undergone a cycle from seed to full bloom in Lin Qingquan's hands.
The so-called reincarnation is from life to death, and from death to life.
Mentaro and Asuka who were behind were taken aback by the juggling growth of flower branches.
The evil must have used this kind of weird force, Xiaolin must have been coerced by him, and he had to obey him in order to save his life. Xiaolin's indifference to me has a reason!
Asuka was relieved, and at the same time hated Hei Mulian even more.
"The thing you found all morning," Lin Qingquan asked, "is it a trick?"
"It's just a small demonstration. What I really found is something more macro and universal than this."
Hei Mulian squatted down, her palms covering the ground.
Suddenly the earth shook, dust and dust fell down, the charred buildings and collapsed houses disappeared like ashes blown away, and brand new and solid buildings were built rumbling in place.The green grass grows on the burnt grass like ink dots thrown out, the dry pool water flows again, the charred trees turn into soot, and new saplings replace them.
What took six years to complete was completed in an instant.
The wounded walked out of the hospital on crutches, and a group of dignitaries had already gathered on the grass outside, and the excitement seemed to explode.
Just now, they witnessed the reincarnation of a space with their own eyes.
Hei Mulian accelerated the reincarnation of this land by six years in an instant.
Reincarnation, these two words were on the verge of coming out of his mouth.Witnessing the vicissitudes of change, Lin Qingquan did not feel such things as vitality or positive energy, but emotion and sadness.
Because all sentient beings and non-living beings commit suicide slowly in samsara.
Amidst the noisy voices, Hei Mulian caressed Lin Qingquan's waist.His excitement was beyond words, but he still suppressed his voice and said: "Qingquan, I found my realm today. My realm is reincarnation."
