As soon as Xun Youling said this, Grandma Zhao was amused. She took the grapes on the table and stuffed them to Xun Youling, and said with a smile: "Take it, take it, take it all, don't be polite to grandma, young people should be more polite." Eat some."

"It's too much, Grandma Zhao, I'll just eat two." Seeing Grandma Zhao stuffing a bunch of grapes over, she felt a little embarrassed even though she had a thick skin.

"You can eat it for you. If you can't finish it, you can give it to your friends. Patients should add more vitamins." Grandma Zhao stuffed the basket of grapes into Xun Youling's hand without any explanation.

Xun Youling was still talking, when the nurse came in and shouted, "Is Xu Jianshu's family here?"

"Here, here!" Grandma Zhao replied, turning her head and hurried over.

Holding the grapes, Xun Youling didn't say anything more, took one to wipe and put it in his mouth, looked at Ji Xinxi on the bed, and planned to go to the bathroom to wash up with the remaining grapes.

When Xun Youling came out of the bathroom, she found that Grandma Zhao was no longer in the ward. Presumably she was called away by the nurse just now.

She walked back to the bed with grapes in her arms, when the nurse came to check on Ji Xinxi's condition, she stood beside her and asked, "Nurse, how is my friend?"

The nurse removed the empty infusion bag for Ji Xinxi, then took his temperature, and said, "The temperature has gone down. I'll keep an eye on it. If it rises, I'll call the doctor for a checkup."

Xun Youling nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had written it down. Seeing that the nurse was about to leave, he picked a grape and handed it over, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Eat a grape, it's so sweet."

The nurse looked at the solitary grape in Xun Youling's Bai Jing's hand, smiled and shook her head: "No, the hospital has regulations, so it can't be accepted."

Xun Youling didn't mind either, so he threw it back into his mouth and replied, "I understand."

After the nurse left, it was nearly twelve o'clock at night after all this trouble. Xun Youling yawned and fell asleep. Grandma Zhao's voice suddenly came from the corridor, which sounded like she was on the phone.

It's night now, and the hospital is very quiet. Although Grandma Zhao's voice on the phone is not loud, Xun Youling can still hear her.

"Anping, where have you been?"

"Oh, mom told you, your dad, your dad, the doctor said that he might not survive tonight, you have to catch up..."

Hearing this, Xun Youling was taken aback, Grandma Zhao's voice was a bit vague, she probably cried, she turned her head to look at Grandpa Xu who was lying on the hospital bed, she had just glanced at it when she entered the ward, at that time the old man's face although Ashes are defeated, but there is no sign of death yet. It is reasonable to say that he will not die so soon, and he can last for a few days.

Now that she looked carefully, she saw that the old man's face was indeed dead, and she probably didn't have much time.

Xun Youling frowned, feeling a little weird in this matter, she chanted a mantra silently and stared at it, and she found that there was a light gray air enveloped in Grandpa Xu's body.

Angry!Xun Youling's heart skipped a beat. Death energy is actually not uncommon. It is a substance that will appear in dying people. Its nature is between Yin Qi and resentment, but it will only appear for a short period of time. At that time, the dead air will dissipate by itself.

But now the death energy on Grandpa Xu's body is obviously not right, because Xun Youling found that the death energy has gathered into a line, extending from Grandpa Xu's body to the outside of the ward, and it is impossible to see it without careful observation. The reason why Ling didn't discover until now.

Something was absorbing the dead energy, thus speeding up the time of Grandpa Xu's death, and Xun Youling was about to get up and catch up immediately.

But as soon as she took a step, she froze in place. She bit her lower lip anxiously. Now she has a number of spells on her body that can be counted on one hand. Before, because of her limited ability, other spells that needed to be based on spiritual power She couldn't use the technique, so she didn't prepare it.

I thought that with Ji Xinxi this time, after Yang Queque's commission is over, we can go to buy some together, but now even Ji Xinxi is lying on the hospital bed, if she passes by rashly now, she might also run away There is no chance.

At this moment, Xun Youling hesitated, and said ten thousand steps back, she went to deal with this unknown enemy, so what?Grandpa Xu didn't have a few days to live. At best, he just wanted to live a few more days. Is it worth it for her to risk her life for this benefit?

Just when she was hesitating, her sight suddenly caught sight of the fruit on the table, her eyes flickered, and finally she covered her eyes in annoyance.

Then he got up abruptly, took an apple on the table and took a bite bitterly. Who told her that she had already accepted the favor, this job seemed to be a deal.

She reached out her hand to feel the temperature on Tan Ji Xinxi's forehead, and after confirming that it didn't rise again, she strode out of the ward.

Outside the ward, Grandma Zhao was sitting hunched on a chair in the corridor. She looked much older. Her hair, which was neatly combed on her head, was a little messy, and she was staring at her phone in a daze. Preoccupied.

"Grandma Zhao, Grandma Zhao." Xun Youling yelled several times before Grandma Zhao came back to her senses and looked at Xun Youling with all her strength.

Xun Youling smiled comfortingly at her, and said, "I have something to leave for a while, can my friend trouble you to take care of her? If she wakes up and I haven't come back, let her have a good rest and don't run around."

"If my affairs are not over tomorrow, you can tell her not to wait for me, and go home to recuperate by herself first."

Grandma Zhao nodded, and asked suspiciously: "Okay, grandma has to guard my old man tonight anyway, there are only a few people, but where are you going so late?"

Xun Youling waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of work. I have some urgent work to do, so I won't tell you. I'm in a hurry! Sorry for your inconvenience."

"Okay, okay, then you go, the little girl's house should be safe at night!"

Xun Youling waved goodbye to Grandma Zhao, walked quickly around a corner, and when she was sure that Grandma Zhao couldn't see her, she took off the rubber band on her wrist and tied up her hair at the back of her head, and then counted the spells on her body. I put it back in my pocket and patted it twice, and began to follow the direction in which the dead air was extending.

She followed the dead air all the way to the door of an elevator, and found that this elevator was different from the elevator used by the hospital to go up and down normally. It was built in a remote corner of the hospital. the elevator button.

As soon as the elevator door opened, a dank breath rushed towards her face, which made her shiver uncontrollably. She stepped into the elevator, and found that this elevator actually went directly to the third underground floor. Bad feeling.

But things have come to this point, and there is nothing to be afraid of. She is in this line of work, and her life and death depend on her own fortune. Xun Youling happily pressed the button on the floor panel.

As the elevator continued to descend, the Yin Qi became more and more intense. Xun Youling rubbed the frozen goosebumps on his body, and saw that the elevator had reached the third basement floor.

She stepped out of the elevator, and suddenly found that the faint and invisible death energy suddenly became more intense. It wasn't just her elevator, the death energy gathered from all directions, some came from the stairs, and some came from other corners. , and finally gathered together leading to one place.

Xun Youling took a deep breath, and told her instinctively that what happened tonight might not be that simple. There are two possibilities for the gathering of dead energy.

One is because a certain place has lingering yin all the year round and a natural yin spring is formed by chance and coincidence, which will automatically absorb the surrounding aura of similar attributes to strengthen itself. Such a place will produce a large amount of pure yin qi, which is very important for spiritual body cultivation. It has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. If you are lucky, the condensed Yin beads can also be used to refine some high-level Taoist weapons.

Such a place can be regarded as a rare treasure, but it is also very easy to destroy, because it is not aggressive in itself, so as long as the spring is destroyed, it will collapse.

Another possibility is that there are resentful spirits here to cultivate by absorbing dead energy. The resentful spirits can cultivate by absorbing Yin Qi, death energy and resentment energy, or they can devour spirit bodies. Among them, the practice of Yin Qi is the most pure but the most difficult. Yes, devouring spirit bodies is the fastest but also the easiest to be discovered.

Therefore, the most common way for wraith spirits is to cultivate by absorbing resentment and death qi, but absorbing resentment is easy to lose one's mind, while death qi has no such concerns.

If it is really the resentful spirits who absorb the dead energy here to practice, then. . . . . .

Thinking of this, Xun Youling tightened the talisman paper in her hand, hoping that what she met tonight was the former.

As she went deeper, the lights on the floor began to flicker, and rustling sounds began to ring in her ears, and the road in front of Xun Youling finally came to an end.

She raised her head, facing her was an iron door, above the iron door was a sign flashing, with the words "mortuary" glowing in green, and the people who saw it felt a chill in their hearts.

Xun Youling suppressed the irritability in his heart and lowered his head, and found a business card dropped by his feet. On it was the contact information of a funeral home, and there was a prominent sentence below, 24-hour one-stop service.

"Damn it." Xun Youling became more and more restless, and kicked the business card away in a distracted manner. At this moment, the surrounding suddenly became quiet for a moment, and the lighting that seemed to have unstable voltage suddenly went out at the same time. The sound of the stairwell door being slammed shut came from the other end of the passage.

Xun Youling's heart suddenly rang an alarm, and she took a few steps back carefully, and pressed her back against the wall, only to feel a little sense of security again. The three words "mortuary" became her only light source now.

"Squeak." The tightly closed iron door suddenly opened a crack, followed by a voice that could not be heard from men and women, asking sharply, "Who is it? Who is outside."

Xun Youling wanted to scold her, she held her breath and dared not take a breath, her eyes were quietly staring at the crack in the door.

It was so dark inside the door that she couldn't see clearly, but Xun Youling didn't dare to move her eyes. She knew that if she relaxed for a moment at such a time, she would be making a joke of her own life.

For a long time, there was no movement around, cold sweat slid down her cheeks, and a pale eye suddenly opened in the dark crack of the door the moment it dripped.
