Chapter 226 Yuan Xia, has pica?
The girl pursed her lips pitifully:
"Master! After Yuan Xia was captured by the Snake Venerable, she had to study the inheritance of the Good Dharma Hall every day and night, that is, the way of the talisman array, and she always had a talisman pen in her hand. She also missed her junior sister and master, and felt lonely, but she had no way to relieve her worries. Over time, she developed the habit of chewing the talisman pen."

"This"

It sounds so pitiful.

And it made him feel guilty.

Jiang He had no intention of venting his anger on his beloved pen and stared at the spiritual patterns on the talisman.

He held Yuan Xia's small hand and carefully helped her to control the flow of her spiritual power according to the methods in the Jiang family talisman.

Soon, the first talisman was successfully drawn.

As a master, I think I do have some skills.

He only needed to make a slight move to draw the sad face Yuan Xia had drawn before.

Now Yuan Xia can draw the talisman while chatting with him.

Jiang He looked at the finished talisman with complacency and glanced at the talisman pen stained with crystal saliva.

You know, talisman makers generally have a deep affection for the talisman pens.

Jiang He, an experienced talisman maker with decades of experience, is no exception.

After all, I felt a little distressed, so I pretended to be calm and said:

"Okay, it's up to you. You have achieved great success in your cultivation, so this little uncleanness won't affect your health. As long as you don't feel disgusted, it's fine. I don't know how much sweat my hand has on it. Oh, sometimes Master can't help but chew the pen."

This is called a roundabout way of saving the pen.

A girl like Yuan Xia should be very hygienic, right?

As he expected, the black-haired girl's expression suddenly became conflicted.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at the talisman pen.

She paused, as if explaining:
"Master, you know Yuan Xia. Sometimes, even when things are terrible, I can hardly control myself."

The black-haired girl put emphasis on the word "bad".

As if recalling something, he couldn't help but lick his lips.

broken
Jiang He was shocked. Could Yuan Xia have pica or bulimia?
It was not normal for her to eat candied haws before. Which normal person would eat candied haws all night long, and would even eat them in a way that would make herself uncomfortable.

For example, stuffing a whole candied haws into the throat will cause constant coughing.

What is pica?
In childhood, there was no one to take care of him and he lacked food, so he ate whatever was around him.

Over time, it becomes a habit and a psychological compulsion.

This completely corresponds to Yuan Xia.

And the cause of this illness is also because of myself.
"What's worse? Yuanxia, ​​don't treat Master as an outsider. If you can reveal it, tell Master. Otherwise, I will be worried."

Jiang He said worriedly.

"!"

The girl was startled. She had been sitting upright on the chair with her back straight.

More and more curved.

Until now, I almost fell on the table.

The small earlobe with black hair gradually turned red.

"This is not very convenient to tell Master."

"Then Master asks you, is it related to eating? Don't lie!"

Jiang He's voice became slightly stern.

He can understand.

If Yuan Xia had pica and ate all kinds of weird things, she would definitely be embarrassed to tell him.

But he had to make sure it wasn't pica.

Although he was 70% to 80% sure, in order to avoid misunderstanding, Jiang He chose to confirm it further.

"No. Yes. No?"

The girl habitually wanted to deceive Jiang He, but when she heard his stern tone, her eyes became more conflicted than ever before.

In the face of Master’s orders.

The consequences of being exposed, the extreme shame, guilt, self-blame, fear, etc. are no longer important.

"Yes or no?"

Jiang He's eyes gradually narrowed.

The girl's hesitant expression caught his eye.

There is a problem. Jiang He made a judgment.

Unsurprisingly.

As expected of him, the little thoughts of these three girls can never be hidden.

This is the keen mind he developed from his interactions with Bai Minxin and Jin'er!

"Yes! It's about eating. Yuanxia Yuanxia ate something she shouldn't have eaten. Although others think that thing is dirty, in Yuanxia's heart, it is the most delicious thing in the world. Master, do you really want to know what that thing is?"

The girl gave up and lay down on the table, burying her face in her folded arms.

The voice was weak.

It’s correct. All of them are correct.

Her perception of certain things is different from others.

Jiang He shook his head: "You don't have to tell me. Yuan Xia, but you must control yourself in the future. In the world of cultivation, the stranger things may have strange toxicity. Even you may accidentally get into trouble."

The black-haired girl buried her face, looking a little confused.

Didn’t Master realize that something was wrong last night because of what I said?
She pursed her lips and whispered tentatively:
"It's actually not poisonous. It tastes warm and has a strong aroma. It moves like it has life and bursts with sap. The sap is also what it uses to reproduce. It's just a little big and tastes very unpleasant."

"Ugh~"

Jiang He felt a chill and couldn't help retching.

The Divine Inspiration Teaching is about the way of flesh and blood, and has been studied in depth.

The church often breeds strange creatures that will make people lose their sanity when they see them.

For example, He Da with his nine-gluten neck and Yue Kui who is bloated and disgusting.

And what Yuan Xia ate sounded very abnormal.

He seemed to see Yuan Xia holding a large ball of struggling flesh and blood, biting it alive in her mouth.

Then the unknown liquid in the flesh and blood suddenly burst out.

And this life is most likely created by humans.
"Yuan Xia, you'd better not eat the creatures in your sect. Refining them is against the law of nature, not to mention eating them."

Jiang He had a bitter look on his face and his body was covered with hair.

"Eh?"

The girl was confused, and she turned her head to look at him and blinked.

"This condition is called pica in Master's hometown. People like to eat strange things, mostly limited to soil, hair and the like. However, they can't eat the creations of the Shengan Sect even if they want to."

Jiang He explained.

"Uh haha, Master has discovered this. I didn't expect Yuan Xia to have other illnesses that I didn't even realize."

Jiang Yuanxia smiled embarrassedly.

At the same time, I was relieved.

This girl, it was obvious at first glance that she didn't take it seriously.

Jiang He decided to explain the pros and cons to her.

……

The master was preaching earnestly, and the years had left no trace on his face.

Instead, she became younger, just like when she was four years old and first met the Master.

At that time, the master was lying on the ground, looking dirty and smelly.

His body is withered and his heart is dead.

But with just one spell, his whole body became clean again.

She was stunned by what she saw, and she wanted to learn martial arts and take revenge. She still remembered clearly that when he took her home, she was only four years old and couldn't walk halfway.

When the master saw this, he forcibly carried her on his back despite her resistance.

He even smiled inexplicably and said, "You're still a little kid, but you're so independent and you stick to the rules between men and women?"

However, although she resisted on the surface at that time, after all the hardships, she couldn't help but feel at ease when she leaned on his shoulder.

I have been taken care of and bullied by my master since I was four years old.
The taboo line in Jiang Yuanxia's heart seemed to be tightened.

After thinking about what happened last night, she didn't know why she suddenly recalled the past.

But suddenly I wanted to taste Master’s flavor again.

Especially when she saw him lecturing with a serious look on his face, she wanted to bury her head in front of him even more.

"Yuanxia, ​​remember? You are not allowed to eat such strange things in the future."

After finishing speaking, Jiang He nodded with satisfaction.

Although Yuan Xia's tone was perfunctory before, he should listen attentively now.

His eyes never left her even for a second, which was even more comparable to Jin'er's death stare.

"remember."

The girl responded immediately, and Jiang He clapped his hands in relief:
"Ruzi can be taught."

“But I can’t do it.”

The girl's next words made Jiang He's face stiffen again.

Seeing his master's stiff expression, Jiang Yuanxia burst into laughter:
"Yuan Xia didn't mean to make Master happy, but there are many things in this world that are useless even if you know what to do. Just like, Jin Er knows that she can't close her heart anymore, but she still can't get over it."

"Of course I understand, but you sounded like you were teasing me just now."

Jiang He flicked the black-haired girl's smooth forehead indignantly.

"oops."

The girl covered her forehead and cried out, then suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Master, Yuan Xia wants to eat those weird things you mentioned, what should I do?"

"Stop making trouble. Master won't beat you anymore, okay?"

The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched.

How could it be such a coincidence?

He didn't believe it. He thought this girl must be threatening him on purpose so that he wouldn't beat her.

"really."

The girl sighed helplessly and took out a black box from her storage ring with a serious look.

This black box is very similar to the soul-locking box that locked up Qiao Qiao.

But the spiritual patterns displayed outside are not as profound as Qiao Qiao's soul-locking box.

Probably a second-level soul-locking box.

She slowly opened the soul-locking box, and inside there was a lump of transparent jelly-like substance. But if you look closely.

In the center of the mass, there is a human face.

The human face, eyes and mouth are open to the extreme.

Around the mass, there are densely packed tiny hands and feet.
Jiang He has always been afraid of ghosts, let alone strange things like this.

He looked away in disgust.

The girl followed him closely with her eyes, looking down vaguely.

He said with longing: "It's both cute and a bit fierce, right, Master? And it struggles very violently, which often makes Yuan Xia's throat uncomfortable, but it also feels a bit comfortable."

With so many hands and feet, it would be strange if it wasn't uncomfortable.

Yuan Xia is a bit of a masochist, so it's no surprise that she likes it.

His apprentice has many illnesses.

No wonder I almost became a mute in front of Xiao An that day.

Yuan Xia was probably afraid that she would get sick and cause things to get out of hand.

For so many days, Yuan Xia had been normal in front of him most of the time.

He actually overlooked Yuan Xia's uniqueness for a moment.
One may understand it clearly, but after accidentally seeing that strange thing.

Jiang He suddenly felt a toothache and said, "Put this thing away quickly, Yuan Xia, if you eat this, Master won't want to touch you anymore."

"Yuan Xia doesn't want to eat it either. But Master can understand, right? She can control herself now, but she may not be able to do so in the future. Maybe one night, without Master's care, Yuan Xia will be unable to resist eating it. Master, you don't want Yuan Xia to eat this kind of thing, do you?"

The girl deliberately held the box in front of him and flashed it before putting it away.
"Master, let's get back to the topic. Just like Jin'er has difficulty coming out of her closed heart, although we can't make Jin'er return to normal quickly, we can gradually increase communication and let her feel the outside world."

Jiang He's intuition told him that something was wrong.

I always feel that Yuan Xia's words, including that strange thing, are linked together and serve a certain purpose.
But Yuan Xia was the one who first brought up her pica, so what purpose could Yuan Xia have?
It’s all that little white dragon’s fault!

Being suspicious every day, he becomes corrupted by the bad company he keeps.

"Yuan Xia means to approach it step by step. For example, use the talisman pen as a substitute first?"

Jiang He hesitated.

"Master! The talisman pen is just a habit. It doesn't quench your thirst at all."

The black-haired girl said distressedly,

"Yuan Xia doesn't know what to do. Master, you know Yuan Xia's illness, and ordinary things can't stop it. But if this goes on, sooner or later Yuan Xia will eat something he shouldn't eat."

Jiang He has a headache.

I also don’t know what to do.

It's impossible to keep Yuan Xia by my side forever.
If Yuan Xia died because of eating too much, Jiang He would suffer for the rest of his life.

"Alas, it's just like four years ago. Yuan Xia has always had the desire to hurt the people he respects. Fortunately, Master was still around at that time."

The girl recalled.

"You girl. Because the more you like someone, the more you want to hurt them. It just so happens that your teacher is at the opposite extreme, so he is the antidote, right!"

Jiang He burst out laughing. At that time, Yuan Xia often asked for hugs, and he was always very happy about it.

I have a good impression of Yuan Xia.

Be well behaved, considerate, obedient and proactive.
Unexpectedly, she ended up stabbing herself first.

"Master, it was just that Yuan Xia didn't understand it at that time."

The black-haired girl's eyes were complicated.

In fact, her master was the first person she hurt in the true sense.

He is also the person she wants to hurt the most.

As for Granny Sun, it was not until her cultivation level gradually improved that she discovered that it was the Snake Venerable who had secretly attacked her.

Even though his emotions were magnified by the Sea Prison Nightmare, he did not cross the bottom line that he adhered to in his heart.

Jiang Yuanxia had a splitting headache.

what does this mean?
The more you like someone, the more you want to hurt them.
I want to hurt my master so much, I want to grind him into ashes.

Because of extreme disgust,
Or is it because I like it too much?
His mind and soul seemed to be twisted into a hemp rope, but he could not squeeze out the answer to the question, and his brain was only causing a sharp and explosive pain.

She really couldn't understand it, and couldn't see clearly into her own heart.

as long as
If I keep my master by my side, then the answer won't be important, right?
"Don't think about the past. Just think of that blow as cutting off the past."

Jiang He worriedly touched the girl's cold forehead covered with cold sweat with the back of his hand.

Regarding this matter, you still can't mention it casually in front of Yuan Xia.

This girl never let go.

"However, Yuanxia, ​​your words have given me some ideas."

The girl obediently stood still, allowing Jiang He to wipe the sweat off her face.

Hearing this, his eyes lit up:
"Hmm? Master knows what to do? Yuan Xia knows that Master is omnipotent~ But how about just forget it? Yuan Xia has eaten more disgusting and delicious things in the past few years, so she's used to it."
