Before Bo Yunxiu's hand reached Shen Muxi's nose, her eyes suddenly opened, she sat up instantly, looked around with a slight frown, and then stared at Bao Yunxiu in front of her in a daze.
"Madam Bo?" Bo Yunxiu frowned, with a tremor in his voice.
Shen Muxi took a deep breath, clutching his heart as if feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Madam Bo?" Bo Yunxiu exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to sit on the head of the bed, letting her lean on him as much as possible so that she could lean more comfortably, "What's wrong? Is there something uncomfortable?"
"Bo Yunxiu, I, I really..." Shen Muxi trembled slightly, then calmed down again, "What happened?"
Mi Li's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Muxi in disbelief, "Princess, are you alright?"
Shen Muxi rubbed his aching temple, "Where am I? Isn't this in the desert?"
"Mrs. Bo, this is already in our Nanwan territory." Bo Yunxiu frowned, and now she is 100% sure that there might be something wrong with Shen Muxi, but what exactly is the problem
"Princess, you really don't remember anything?" Mi Li was surprised, "We walked this way, and you haven't been asleep all the time, so why don't you remember? Think about it carefully."
Shen Muxi really doesn't remember, "I just remember being devoured by ten thousand Gu, but in the end it was the Phoenix Gu that saved me, those Gu insects suddenly started to burn, one after another, burning beyond recognition. Then, then I walked down I entered the stone room, there is an altar below, and I saw Han Tianming's bones!"
Bo Yunxiu immediately became nervous, "What happened next?"
"Later, I don't know why, but I felt very uncomfortable, as if I was in a daze, my hands and feet were out of control, and I seemed to be led away." Shen Muxi tried hard to recall, "I saw a lot of strange scenes, there were fires, there were Blood, and then... you don't know anything."
"What about the soul-returning Gu?" Bo Yunxiu asked hastily.
Shen Muxi thought for a while, "Senior Han gave me something to deal with soul-returning Gu, so before going to the altar, I was ready to die together, that thing... I, I drank it!"
"Drink?" Mi Li was shocked, "Princess, how dare you drink what Senior Han gave you?"
"I originally thought that it would be impossible to go out of this place again. I don't know martial arts, but I can't implicate you. Anyway, the soul-returning Gu must choose a master to be born, so let it choose me, and I will die with it. !” Anyway, she had no other choice.
Bo Yunxiu nodded, "So the soul-returning Gu chose you, but finally died in your body... inside?"
"It should be!" Shen Muxi thought for a while, "I didn't feel any discomfort. By the way, where did you find me?"
"Altar!" Mi Li was a little frightened, "At that time, Princess, you were lying in the ice coffin, as if... the prince rescued you. Where to start."
"I'll talk to you slowly." Bao Yunxiu hugged her tightly, "It's as long as you're fine!"
Shen Muxi was a little dazed, "Where's my master? Where's Senior Han?"
No one said a word.
She looked up at him.
Bo Yunxiu pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Where is my master?" Shen Muxi's eyes turned red suddenly, and he turned to look at Mi Li, "Where is Senior Han?"
Mi Li lowered her eyes and stood silently aside, "Senior Han is fine, but he doesn't want to go back to the Eastern Capital with us again. Qianmian... He died in the hands of Lu Rujing in order to save Senior Han, and he failed to escape from Sunset City." come out."
The city has been submerged in the yellow sand, and it is impossible to come out again.
Tears fell silently, and Shen Muxi lay firmly in Bo Yunxiu's arms, "In those years, if it weren't for Master, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to live to this day. He really committed a crime before, but he has tried his best to make up for it. .It's the master who let Zhi'er and I live a peaceful life for seven years! Who would have thought that we would never see each other for the last time."
In the end, not even the corpse remained.
"He is willing." Bo Yunxiu sighed softly, "He died for Han Busu, and he let go of it before he died."
Shen Muxi grabbed his clothes, trembling uncontrollably, bursting into tears in an instant, "So many of us went out together, but Yue Gui didn't come back, and Master didn't come back... They can't come back! Just because of this Damn Soul Resurrection Gu, this damned dog."
Mi Li quietly exited the room.
Bao Yunxiu patted her on the back lightly, "Everything is fine, everything will be fine!"
She will be fine when she cries to her heart's content.
"Did you notify Dongdu?" Shen Muxi was tired from crying, his eyes were swollen like walnuts, "Does Zhier know that you and I are still alive?"
"Not yet." Bo Yunxiu raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Everyone has injuries on their bodies, so they need to be taken care of. It will take time to go to the Eastern Capital, so there is no need to make Zhi'er wait for him to come. The time is so anxious that it becomes chaotic."
Shen Muxi nodded, as if extremely tired.
"Mrs. Bo, why are you so lethargic lately? Is there something wrong?" Bo Yunxiu lowered his head and asked, gently pressing his lips on her forehead. Fortunately, there was no sign of fever. After all, the only thing Bo Yunxiu can think of is: if there is heat on the body, people will feel drowsy and lethargic.
But gradually, he felt something was wrong again, Shen Muxi's body began to cool down again, this kind of coolness was different from the usual coolness. Women belong to Yin, and their constitutions are weak and cold, but that kind of coolness can be covered with heat, but the coldness presented by Shen Muxi now seems to be...
like what
It's like... a corpse!
But when she spoke just now, her body was obviously hot.
This hot and cold, what is wrong with it
Could it be because of Han Busu's medicine that while killing the soul-returning Gu, it also damaged her? After all, she had Phoenix Gu in her body before, and now... the sympathy that should have existed between her and him seems to have disappeared.
He really couldn't feel the waves deep in her heart.
Could it be that you are really too tired
Maybe!
Shen Muxi slept for a long time, and Bo Yunxiu stayed by the bed, not even daring to blink, for fear that she would never wake up again. Waiting is not terrible, the terrible thing is... In the end, some people leave first, but some people don't know it.
...
It was dark.
Shen Zhi sat up abruptly, short of breath.
With the experience from last time, Bo Yu didn't dare to be careless this time, so she slept with Shen Zhi on the same pillow. Seeing Shen Zhi sitting up suddenly, Bo Yu sat up right after him, staring at him like that, not daring to shout.
I heard people say that when some people dream at night, they are half asleep and half awake, and their souls wander in the air. If they shout indiscriminately, it is easy to scare people's souls away.
Therefore, Bo Yu covered his mouth, slowly moved closer with his eyes wide open, and carefully checked Shen Zhi's condition.
Is this waking up
Still not awake
"I dreamed about my mother again!" Shen Zhi raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
Only then did Bo Yu believe that Shen Zhi was not talking in his sleep, but really woke up, awakened by a nightmare.
Relieved, Bo Yu jumped over him, jumped off the bed, quickly went to pour a glass of water and returned to the bed, "Here, drink some water to wake up, it's just a nightmare, don't take it seriously! They say that you think about it every day and think about it at night." Meng, you miss your aunt too much, that's why you keep dreaming about her!"
Shen Zhi took a sip of water, stared at Bo Yu for a long while, then shook his head in affirmation.
"What do you mean?" Bo Yu was puzzled, took the cup handed back by Shen Zhi, turned around and put it on the table, "Shen Zhi, what's the matter with you recently? Drinking soothing soup doesn't work, and you have nightmares at night. You are restless during the day, if you continue like this, before your aunt comes back, you will be overwhelmed and will definitely collapse."
"I dreamed that my mother seemed to be trapped. She was struggling all the time, but no one could help her. I tried my best to save her, but I couldn't help it. No matter what I did, I couldn't pull my mother out. That The quagmire is so deep..." Shen Zhi was in a trance.
Bo Yu pursed her lips, "Can you stop talking about this, it's very frightening to hear, Shen Zhi, don't worry, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow! Otherwise, you'll fall down!"
Shen Zhi lowered his eyebrows and nodded weakly.
In the early morning of the next day, Bo Yu helped Shen Zhi pack his things. Right now, the sweet-scented osmanthus and chrysanthemums were blooming very well. There was a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting at the east side of the city, and scholars and scholars gathered here, which was very lively.
A Luo insisted on following, but couldn't let Shen Zhi go.
A left and a right followed closely behind, and a small group of personal guards followed behind in commoner clothes, guarding His Royal Highness Li Wang comprehensively.
The chrysanthemums bloom very well, in various poses and with different expressions, and are colorful.
"Mother is in a hurry, otherwise I can make us fresh sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, fresh chrysanthemum drinkers, Chongyang cakes, and all kinds of snacks." Shen Zhi walked with his hands behind his back, watching the pots in full bloom. The good chrysanthemum is still sour in my heart.
Bo Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I brought you here to relax, you are always thinking about other things, why not appreciate the chrysanthemums! There are also chrysanthemum appreciation conferences in previous years, which are far less good than this year's. There are many varieties and colors. !"
Suddenly, Bo Yu stopped in his tracks, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "Why is he here?"
"Guan Aotian?" Shen Zhi was taken aback, "You're here too?"
No one expected that Guan Aotian would wake up one day, and because of this, Mrs. Guan's grudge against Shen Muxi was completely let go. Now that Shen Muxi is not in Dongdu, leaving behind his youngest son, Shen Zhi, these days, Grand Master Guan takes extra care of him, and all civil and military officials respect Shen Zhi himself even more.
"Little prince!" Guan Aotian cupped his hands.
The Three Hegemons of the Eastern Capital, Guan Aotian, Qian Chuyang, and... Sun Daoxian, the eldest son of Ninghou Mansion.
Now, it's all about rectification.
Guan Aotian and Qian Chuyang walked around in front of the ghost gate, they really stopped being presumptuous, restrained their previous arrogance and domineering, and behaved with their tails between their legs.
And Sun Daoxian needless to say, with Chunxiu's butcher's knife on his head, he is honestly a butcher's guy, so that sometimes he can't even enter the gate of the Hou's mansion. After all, Mrs. Ninghou is so fond of Chunxiu , has reached the point of obedience.
Shen Zhi nodded, "Is Mr. Guan better?"
"Although the hands and feet are not very flexible, it is a blessing to be able to survive!" Mentioning this, Guan Aotian once again saluted Shen Zhi respectfully, "Thank you for saving my life, Princess Li, if there is no Princess Li, I am afraid that Guan will definitely die .”
Qian Chuyang on the side also saluted, their lives were also saved by Shen Muxi.
This blessing fell on Shen Zhi, and it should be.
"It's best if nothing happens, and my mother won't be in vain..." Shen Zhi paused, "I tried my best to save you!"
Guan Aotian nodded, Er Er looked around, bent down and asked in a low voice, "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"
Shen Zhi was taken aback.
"Is there anything you can't say?" Bo Yu was unhappy.
"My lord, there are some things... left by the former master." Guan Aotian hesitated, "So I think the less people know, the better, after all, this matter may be a bit ridiculous, and no one may believe it if it is said, but That's how it happened."
Shen Zhi nodded, and gave Bo Yu a look, "Be honest, don't mess around!"
Bo Yu curled his lips, since Shen Zhi had already opened his mouth, he naturally couldn't say anything more, he could only stay where he was, watching Shen Zhi and Guan Aotian go to a quiet place in the corridor to stand and talk.
I don't know, what are these two talking about
"What exactly is Mr. Guan trying to say?" Shen Zhi asked, but his heart was very disturbed.
old master...
Is that the trace left by Zhao Lianyi
Zhao Lianyi used to live on Guan Aotian's body with Gu for so long that he seriously injured Guan Aotian himself. Fortunately, he was young and had a strong body, so he had such unique luck and woke up.
"I won't say much about what happened to me, but I will talk about some bits and pieces that I remember these days after waking up." Guan Aotian said softly, "The person who lives on my body seems to want to do something. It's a big deal, I'm looking for the right thing, it seems to be used to water or raise some kind of Gu."
something suitable
Shen Zhi was puzzled, and shook his head suspiciously, "What's the right thing?"
"Blood!" Guan Aotian said, "It seems that this is the key, but I couldn't find the pure one, so I kept delaying it. She wants to resurrect someone, and this person may be related to the princess."
The hand in the sleeve was slightly curled into a fist, Shen Zhi's face was pale, "Is there any more?"
"Of course there are." Guan Aotian said again, "But this person seems to be a little worried, and a little bit withdrawn."
Zhao Lianyi, have you ever flinched
"She doesn't seem to be very willing, but she can't help herself. During the period of staying in my body, I can feel her entanglement, hesitation, and various incomprehensible emotions." Guan Aotian explained , "By the way, she seems to be a little afraid of His Royal Highness Li!"
Shen Zhi's eyes widened, "Afraid of my father?"
"Yes!" Guan Aotian nodded, "I don't know why, after Li Wang severely injured her that day, she seemed to be in pain, the kind of pain that would make life worse than death. I don't know if Wang Li moved something at that time?"
There is Phoenix Gu on Dad's body...
Is it because of the Phoenix Gu
Fear, Phoenix Gu
"Is there any more?" Shen Zhi asked.
Guan Aotian rubbed his brows, "Some things are very vague, and I can't remember them all for a while. I can only remember so much for the time being. Little prince, I will tell you when I remember something again!"
So far, Shen Zhi can only give up!
It is not easy to remember so much.
"Thank you!" Shen Zhi cupped his hands.
"You're welcome!" Guan Aotian hastily replied, "You don't have to be like this, if it wasn't for the princess, I'm afraid I'd be dead, and being able to help or tell the little prince more things is the only way Guan Aotian can repay his life-saving grace. way!"
Shen Zhi pursed his lips, and stopped where he was with a solemn expression.
Guan Aotian saluted and left, he could only think of so much for now.
"How is it?" Bo Yu rushed up, "What did you say? I saw that your face was not very good. Is he talking nonsense again? Don't trust him too much. This man was a dude before. Habitually unreliable."
Shen Zhi shook his head, "No!"
"Then what happened?" Bo Yu was puzzled.
"I'm tired, let's go back first!" Shen Zhi turned and left.
Bo Yu scratched her head, "I agreed to come and relax with you, how can I just leave?"
Looking at Shen Zhi, not only did his mood not get better, but it got worse...
"What's the matter?" A Luo kept asking, extremely worried, "Young master just said it very well, this young master of the Guan family has been rampant before, and what he said is half-truth and half-false, you can't believe it all!"
"Aunt A Luo, don't worry, Zhi'er knows how to tell the truth from the fake, and won't be easily fooled. I'm going to find my grandfather now, there's really nothing else to do." Shen Zhi smiled back.
A Luo nodded, "It's fine."
But Bo Yu didn't believe it, and followed Shen Zhi to Xia Li'an's room.
After going through so many things, Xia Li'an's health is not very good. These days, he has been lingering in bed and unable to get up.
"Grandfather!" Shen Zhi saluted.
Bo Yu followed closely behind and saluted, also calling him respectfully, "Grandfather!"
"Come on, sit down! Sit down!" Xia Li'an smiled, his wrinkled face exuded kindness, "you two, you don't look right! What happened today?"
If he hadn't encountered difficulties, Shen Zhi would not have come to him with a sober face.
The little guy is very thoughtful, he values friendship more than anything else, and he really followed his parents!
"Grandfather knows a lot, and he experienced the disaster of protecting the family back then. I wonder if he knows something about Zhao Lianyi?" Shen Zhi asked.
Hearing these three words suddenly, the smile on Xia Li'an's face faded instantly, "Why, she came out to make trouble again?"
"Grandfather, do you really know?" Shen Zhi exclaimed.
Xia Li'an sighed softly, "I know a little bit, my heart is higher than the sky, and I have a special liking."
Eight words are Zhao Lianyi's life.
"Grandfather, can you tell me something about Zhao Lianyi?" Bo Yu was also very curious.
Xia Li'an nodded, "Grandpa is getting old, if I don't tell you some things, I'm afraid I'll forget them all when I get older. This Zhao Lianyi is Han Tianming's junior sister who came out of the same school. Where did he come from?" It came out, I really don’t know. Han Tianming was brought back by Han Busu, the young master of the guardian clan, and later replaced Han Busu as the clan leader of the guardian clan.”
"Brother Zhao Lianyi is very happy with Han Tianming. Although I don't know if the two of them are secretly fighting for each other, but it is still a little unclear. Han Tianming is born like a tree with the wind, and any woman will feel a wave in her heart when she sees it. , but I was born to find him a bit unpleasant, I always feel that this person... "
How to describe it
Xia Li'an thought for a while, "It seems that there is something hidden in the eyes, and when looking at people, it seems that there is a layer of clouds and mist."
"Is there something in the eye?" Shen Zhi didn't quite understand.
Bo Yu didn't understand either, "Is it because of bad eyesight?"
Xia Lian shook his head, "No, his eyes are poisonous!"
"What's the reason?" Shen Zhi asked.
Xia Li'an thought for a while, "It probably has something to do with his own evil spirit, anyway, I am a little scared when I look at it. It seems that this person is different from us ordinary people. Call him cold, he is flesh and blood, at least in the end It was because of your mother... that she lost her life!"
The queen mother also said this.
Xia Lian, remember it!
"You can say that he is enthusiastic, but he always feels that something is not right. Anyway, that kind of feeling makes people look at him as if he was separated from something." Xia Li'an didn't know how to describe it, "It's been many years, and I can't remember clearly. I still remember how I felt when I first saw him."
Shen Zhi pondered, "Grandpa means that Han Tianming is unusual? Doesn't Zhao Lianyi feel it?"
"I think she has feelings. People who get along all the time, how can they not feel it? It's just that Zhao Lianyi is too affectionate. Her whole heart is on Han Tianming. Looking at his eyes is called admiration." Xia Lian shook his head, " So much so that being by Han Tianming's side is like a sharp weapon for killing people!"
"Grandfather, do you know about the Wu Clan?" Shen Zhi asked again.
Xia Li'an nodded, "Grandfather has been to many places. The witch family is in the Kingdom of Ying. There are no doctors there, only witch doctors! Anyone who can become a witch doctor will be respected. In the Kingdom of Ying, witch doctors are not only the royal family, but also the royal family. The most supreme symbol."
Bo Yu was surprised, "It's just a doctor, but he's so powerful?"
"You have to know that those places in the desert are very bad. If there is no doctor to save people, many people will die. Sometimes a disease can wipe out the entire town. There is a shortage of medicinal materials, and doctors who can cure diseases There are too few, so there is a reason for the high status!" Xia Li'an explained.
Bo Yu suddenly realized, "So that's the case. If my aunt passes by, wouldn't she become a god?"
As soon as the words came out, Bo Yu felt a little regretful.
It's true which pot is not open and which pot to mention, it's very good, what aunt to mention...
Fortunately, Shen Zhi seemed to be thinking about something and didn't take it to heart, so Bo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"In the past, the Wu Clan was prosperous in Ying Kingdom, but for some reason, the number decreased. It is said that they were cursed. After the first emperor destroyed the Guardian Clan, the Wu Clan was almost finished!" Xia Li'an said lightly. Sigh, "I have to say, time is fate! In the past, these talented people were so talented that many people envied them, but later..."
Xia Li'an shook his head, regretting, "Nope!"
"After the Hu Clan was destroyed, Zhao Lianyi set up the Longevity Gate to fight against the imperial court, and gathered a lot of remnants of the Hu Clan. I think these remnants also have members of the Wu Clan who came back from outside the customs." Shen Zhi's face was as black as ink. , "She gathered these people, not necessarily for the purpose of revitalizing the guardians, but for other purposes."
For example, resurrecting Han Tianming.
For another example, find something scary.
It's like medicine, lacking a blind medicine, so that Zhao Lianyi has been delayed for so many years, but has never succeeded.
So what is this medicine
Guan Aotian said, it was blood...
What blood
whose blood
"Zhier, what are you thinking?" Xia Li'an looked at Shen Zhi worriedly, "What happened to Zhao Lianyi?"
Shen Zhi would not ask Zhao Lianyi for no reason, something must have happened.
"Grandfather, I heard that the guardian has the secret of longevity!" Shen Zhi pursed his lips.
These things are all said by Aunt Xiaotang, so there should be no fakes!
Xia Li'an's body stiffened impressively, his face was full of horror, "You, how do you know this?"
