Chapter 495 The dangers of the evil eye

Chapter 495 The dangers of the evil eye

A few days later, as the battle between the rebels and the shogunate army reached a stalemate, Ying and the others did not have any particularly important tasks to do in the short term.

But that afternoon, Ying couldn't help but knock on the door of Liu Bai's residence.

"Liu Bai, help! Someone is injured..."

After Liu Bai opened the door, Paimeng spoke to her anxiously.

"what happens?"

Hearing Paimeng's anxious words, Liu Bai was a little confused.

Even if someone is injured, they should seek help from the military doctor in the barracks, right?

If all else fails, you can also seek help from Xin Hai in the Coral Palace. It is said that her healing abilities are very powerful.

"Is such that……"

Ying immediately explained it carefully to Liu Bai.

It turned out that someone in the resistance army accepted a gift from the Fatui and obtained an item called the Evil Eye.

People who possess the evil eye can use power that only the holder of the God's Eye can use, which makes some people who do not have the God's Eye very popular.

However, the price of using this evil eye is one's own life. Several people have died from it, and the rest of those who possess the evil eye have also shown obvious signs of aging.

"Evil Eye... I'll go with you to the military camp to take a look."

Liu Bai remembered this thing because the Fatui would also be granted the Evil Eye, including the Fatui executives.

Liu Bai also possessed the evil eye at that time, but he lost it somewhere.

She had no idea about the specific origin of the evil eye, after all, she had never paid attention to it.

In this way, Liu Bai followed Ying and the others to the military camp.

At this time, the evil eyes had been ordered to be recalled, leaving only a dozen old and frail soldiers lying on the hospital beds.

"Travelers, you are back...Ah! You are here, sir!"

Next to the bed, a man named Zheping helped the weak soldier lie down, turned around to greet Ying and the others, and for some reason he became a little nervous when he saw Liu Bai.

"Zheping, I got the herbs you requested... Hmm? Sister Liu Bai, you're here!"

At this time, Krevie, who stayed here to help take care of the patients, came over with a basket of medicinal herbs and greeted Liu Bai.

"Wait for me a moment. I'll go call Lady Coral Palace over. She's next door..."

"No, I'm here."

Zheping took the herbs brought by Krewei, and immediately wanted to call Coral Palace Xinhai over, but he was interrupted by the girl's voice before he could finish his words.

Turning around, Liu Bai saw a pink-haired girl walking towards him.

"I'm very sorry to bother you, Lord Liu Bai, but the situation in the barracks is very bad. We can only ask you to come and help. I'm sorry if it causes you trouble."

Coral Palace Xinhai said to Liu Bai apologetically.

“It was my suggestion, actually.”

Hearing what Coral Palace Xinhai said, Ying immediately added a sentence.

"So it was the Traveler's suggestion, but why do you think I have a solution?"

After Ying's supplement, Liu Bai's calm expression relaxed and he asked Ying with a little interest.

"The symptoms of these patients are all caused by loss of vitality and aging. They are basically incurable with medication and conventional treatments. But I remember that you have similar abilities. The situation is urgent and I have no choice but to make this decision."

Ying explained her thoughts to Liu Bai truthfully, and Paimon and Klevi beside her nodded.

"I see. Since it's your request, leave it to me."

"Miss Coral Palace, can you let me see those evil eyes?"

After Liu Bai agreed to help, he looked at Coral Palace Xinhai and asked.

"Of course, I'll get it right away."

Coral Palace Xinhai nodded. Due to the harm that the evil eye could do to ordinary people, she was worried about letting others touch it, so she kept it away.

Not long after, Xin Hai of the Coral Palace brought over the confiscated evil eyes. They were placed in crystal bottles, and one could vaguely see the purple aura gathering inside, but it was isolated by the crystal bottles and could not affect the outside.

Liu Bai took the crystal bottle and looked at it carefully. He found that it was slightly different from the evil eye he remembered. Perhaps it was a new style...

"The aura of the evil eye... um, have you used the evil eye too?"

Feeling the breath in the bottle and the breath of those patients, Liu Bai suddenly looked up at Zheping beside him.

The aura around him was very strong, not like the direct contact he had when caring for patients, but just like those patients.

"Huh? So you, Teppei, also used the evil eye?"

Hearing Liu Bai's words, Ying and the others subconsciously looked at Zheping, and Paimon couldn't help but speak in surprise.

"In that case, your recent performance is also very amazing, just like those people who got the evil eye..."

Coral Palace Xinhai also looked at Zheping thoughtfully.

“Ha, haha, I couldn’t hide it… I’m so sorry, Master Coral Palace, I can’t bear to part with it…”

Teppei scratched his head awkwardly and had to take out an evil eye hidden in his clothes.

"Eh? Really? But why didn't anything happen to you, Teppei, after you used the evil eye?"

Paimon came forward to take a look and found that the evil eye in Teppei's hand was exactly the same as the ones that were confiscated.

After hearing what Paimon said, Teppei scratched his head and opened his mouth but stopped talking.

"Zheping, your condition may be helpful to treat other people, so please don't hide it."

Seeing Zheping's hesitation, Coral Palace Xinhai had no choice but to speak.

After she said that, Zheping had no choice but to nod his head obediently, then stood up and walked in front of Liu Bai.

While everyone was confused, Zheping bowed deeply to Liu Bai.

"I'm very sorry, sir! When we were at the rebel camp on Bayun Island, because the tents were close to each other, I accidentally overheard your teaching to the travelers when I couldn't sleep at night! Please forgive my rudeness!"

Zheping bowed deeply to Liu Bai, explained the whole story and asked for forgiveness.

"what?"

Ying, Paimeng and the others had definitely not expected this.

"You mean, you learned and mastered the inner force by listening to my teachings through a tent?"

Liu Bai asked with interest.

Although it is not difficult to master internal force, Ying and the other three all mastered it on the first night, but compared to them, Zheping is just an ordinary person.

"Yes, sir. It took me three or four days to learn a little bit."

"At first I didn't know how to use it, but when I later obtained the evil eye, I found that every time I used the power of the evil eye, it would consume the internal energy in my body. This is probably why I can't be like them."

Zheping continued to explain to Liu Bai.

Although Coral Palace Xinhai, who was standing by, didn't know what internal force was, he was a little surprised to hear that this kind of power could offset the harm of the evil eye.

"I am very sorry, Master Liu Bai. It is my fault that your secret technique was leaked. From now on, I will order Zhe Ping to stop practicing your secret technique."

Although he was very interested in this power, Coral Palace Xinhai immediately apologized to Liu Bai.

"It doesn't matter. I told you that on the first night."

"As long as the traveler can learn it, it's fine. It's not a problem for others to learn it. I only care about her situation."
