"What does this mean?" Bo Yu scratched her head, "It's just a riddle!"
Shen Zhi frowned, put away the paper, and quickly ran to Liushanzhuang to ask Xia Li'an.
Xia Wenqing happened to be serving his father after drinking the medicine, and suddenly saw the two little guys running out of breath, so he stopped him quickly, "Run slower, slower, don't worry! of?"
"Is grandfather still awake?" Shen Zhi asked panting.
"Awake!" Xia Wenqing nodded, and lit up the empty medicine bowl in her hand, "I just finished taking the medicine. What, what are you doing?"
Shen Zhi nodded again and again, "I want to ask my grandfather something."
"Go in, don't take too long, your grandfather isn't feeling well recently, so don't be too tired." Xia Wenqing stepped aside, "Be careful!"
"Yes!" Shen Zhi took a breath, and strode inside.
Bo Yu ran a little anxiously, the cold wind got into his mouth, and his stomach hurt, so he covered his lower abdomen and sat directly on the door frame. He didn't want to stand up even if he was killed, just sitting here... It's good!
"Grandfather!" Shen Zhi had already walked to the bed, and saluted respectfully.
"Zhi'er has encountered difficulties again?" Xia Li'an smiled, as he is old, he always likes children even more. Seeing this immature face, he waved it in front of him, pretending that he was also a little younger.
When children grow up, parents are always busy with success and fame. Only when the grandchildren are born, will they have time to make up for what they owed their children.
"Come!" Xia Lian waved, "Come to grandfather."
Shen Zhi stepped forward and sat down on the bedside stool, "Grandfather, according to what you said, Zhi'er went to Uncle Huang and asked Uncle Huang about Uncle Wu. Uncle Huang gave me a clue, take a look..."
After handing over the paper, Xia Li'an hurriedly straightened up, rubbed his eyes and looked at it.
"This is..." Xia Lian was stunned, "What is it?"
"At the beginning, Uncle Fifth's master wrote the words for Dad. I don't know what it was, but I saw that it was a bit...accurate!" Shen Zhi hesitated a little, for fear that his grandfather would think that he believed in these things at a young age.
Unexpectedly, Xia Li'an also nodded, "Shut up, it's your father's usual temperament, he won't tell you if you ask, let alone tell you on his own initiative!"
Shen Zhi nodded, "Zhi'er thinks so too."
"Reincarnation?" Xia Lian frowned.
"Yuhuo... are you talking about my mother?" Shen Zhi pursed his lips.
Xia Li'an thought for a while, "Probably yes, according to Buddhism, seven years is a cycle. These words are true!"
"Then what does this mean?" Bo Yu sat on the threshold and asked tiredly, resting his chin.
"The sunset returns to Shacheng, and there is no soul in the dark?" Xia Li'an also didn't quite understand, "These warlocks like to play tricks the most. If they make it clear in one or two sentences, wouldn't it be over? It's been so many years. The paper is so incomprehensible to people, it’s really pissing off!"
Bo Yu curled her lips, "If you don't play tricks like this, how can you cheat money? Walking in the rivers and lakes, don't you just rely on four words? Swindle and abduct!"
Xia Li'an and Shen Zhi stared at him intently, Bo Yu always had a good understanding of these things.
"I... I'm just kidding!" Bo Yu laughed dryly, "Don't take it seriously, just keep talking about yourself."
Shen Zhi sighed softly, "Grandfather, I think these four sentences, the above two sentences are all fulfilled, the following sentence returns to Shacheng at sunset, is it referring to the Kingdom of Ying? The Kingdom of Ying is a country of deserts, and it can really be called Sand City. "
Xia Li'an agreed, "The analysis is excellent, and I think so too. But the key to the four sentences is the last sentence, "There is no master soul in the dark? What does it mean?"
One old and one young, big eyes and small eyes.
No one can guess what this means.
But one thing is very obvious, that is, the matter of the desert will definitely not end here, and there will be follow-up troubles. As for the troubles, we must first unravel the last motto.
"So, we have to find Uncle Wu!" Shen Zhi sighed softly, "But, where can I find it?"
"Zhier, you might as well take a step back and think about it. Since your fifth uncle and his master can leave this thing to your father, will they leave something else? Since they took care of this nosy business, they definitely didn't just sit idly by. The truth." Xia Li'an patted the back of Shen Zhi's hand lightly, "Grandfather knows that Zhi'er is so smart, he will definitely find other clues."
Shen Zhi froze for a moment, the little man frowned tightly.
clue…
"Heh, all of a sudden it changed from guessing lantern riddles to hide-and-seek. This show is really getting better and better!" Bo Yu rolled his eyes and followed behind Shen Zhi boredly, "Where are you going? I'm hungry! "
Shen Zhi glanced at the sky, it was really late.
"I'm hungry, I want to eat Aunt Xiaotang's braised elbow." Bo Yu just looked at him pitifully, "Anyway, you have to take care of me!"
Shen Zhi frowned, "Forget it, take care of your Wu Zang Temple first!"
"That's absurd!" Bo Yu looked at him with a smile, "If you starve me to death, I'm afraid you will be unlucky, and you won't even have anyone to talk to. With your temperament, it's not easy to make a few true confidants , so you have to cherish me well, you know? Do you know?"
He asked "do you know" twice in a row, causing Shen Zhi to shake his head helplessly. In the past, she only felt that Bo Yu was too spoiled, but now she felt that the more he lived, the more he went back!
At dinner, Bo Yu ate A Luo's braised pork knuckle as he wished, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.
Chunxiu smiled and put the elbow into Shen Zhi's bowl, "Zhi'er seems to have lost weight, I need to make up more! If you like to eat, Aunt Chunxiu will make you a big elbow tomorrow, so you can eat it to your heart's content!"
"Auntie, that's enough, if you keep feeding him, Bo Yu will almost become fat." Shen Zhi protested.
"It's a pity that Dr. Shen is not here, otherwise I can get you a skin jelly! Dr. Shen's skin jelly is the best, it's called a..." Chunxiu's face tightened when he said this, realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
The chopsticks froze in mid-air, Chunxiu glanced at the crowd with a gloomy expression, and finally put it down.
"My aunt's elbow is the best!" Bo Yu said with a smile, "If you can eat it every day, you won't get tired of it."
"Little Fatty!" Shen Zhi didn't look up, and muttered softly as he pawed at the rice.
Candle flickering, silent.
Chunxiu and Aluo looked at each other, only sighed.
I don't know, when will Dr. Shen come back
...
Knowing what happened after coming out of the tomb of the wasteland, Shen Muxi was stunned, she really had no influence.
Seeing her stunned expression, Mi Li turned her head in fear, looking at Bao Yunxiu with a dark complexion, thinking that the prince should understand something. Why did Doctor Shen lose that memory
After Shen Muxi fell asleep, Bo Yunxiu walked out of the inn with a sullen face, and stood in the corridor with Mi Li.
Looking at the night outside the window, the two were silent, neither speaking.
In the end, it was Mi Li who couldn't hold back and said, "My lord, I feel that something is wrong with my humble position. Dr. Shen is like this, it doesn't seem like he is sick, but it seems... like..."
"Why are you hesitating?" Bo Yunxiu rested his hands on the edge of the window, his brows furrowed.
Of course he knew what Mi Li was going to say, but he didn't say it, so Quan Dang didn't know anything.
Things that are not specified can be temporarily treated as if they do not exist.
"I feel that the concubine is bewitched!" Mi Li summoned up her courage.
As soon as he said this, he stared at Bao Yunxiu's face tremblingly, for fear that the prince would get angry or punish him on the spot. However, Bo Yunxiu didn't react at all, just lowered his head slightly, and the veins on the back of the hand resting on the edge of the window were slightly raised.
"My lord?" Mi Li was startled, "Are you alright?"
"I don't remember at all, who was the one who talked to us before?" Bo Yunxiu's voice trembled slightly, "He was clear-headed and spoke clearly, but... he became someone else? Heh... don't tell her about it for the time being."
"Princess is so smart, I'm afraid I can't hide it!" Mi Li frowned.
The concubine was originally a doctor, and now she has taken over the guardianship, if there is any abnormality in her body, she should be aware of it.
If you hide it, you won't be able to hide it for long!
Bo Yunxiu didn't say a word, he didn't know how to deal with the current situation. Back to Dongdu? What if other people are involved and Zhi'er is hurt
All of a sudden, there are so many threads, I can't sort them out.
Inside the door.
Shen Muxi was actually not asleep, she opened her eyes and sat up as soon as they left, if it wasn't for what they said, she probably wouldn't have figured out what happened until now.
Now, she has some insights, and seems to understand a little bit.
He got up and walked to the mirror, sat down slowly, unbuttoned his clothes and looked at his clean chest. This position has been taken several times, she is most familiar with it, and she can feel the strangeness from her heart the most.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and for a moment, her face suddenly changed into another person. His heart skipped a beat, and then he looked intently, it was still his own face.
"Soul-returning Gu? Is it a soul-returning Gu?" Standing up abruptly, Shen Muxi packed up quickly and saluted. They didn't have many things in the first place, all they needed was the soft ones.
Bo Yunxiu and Mi Li were standing in the corridor outside, Shen Muxi tightened the burden in her hand, she knew very well what she would become if this continued, that kind of terrible thing... absolutely cannot continue.
Clutching his skirt tightly, Shen Muxi turned to look at the window.
The reason why Bo Yunxiu walked out of the room must have been guessed, and he couldn't face her for a while, since that's the case, he won't come in again for a while.
Gritting her teeth, Shen Muxi tied the burden around her body, left a few words on the desk, and quickly climbed out of the window.
This was a remote town, and there were not many people on the street. She grabbed the window edge, gritted her teeth, and climbed firmly onto the wooden post beside her. The skill of climbing walls and trees accumulated since childhood has finally played a role. Holding the wooden pillar tightly, he slid down slowly, and finally landed firmly!
Shen Muxi raised his head, looking at the light falling from the window, his nose was sore.
"Bo Yunxiu, I'm leaving, don't look for me!" She turned hard and left.
Shen Muxi knew what he was doing and what he should do. There is really something wrong with her body, so... she shouldn't be with them anymore, or she will kill them sooner or later.
Instead of letting everyone be implicated by her, it is better to let her bear it alone. Senior Han's medicine failed to kill the soul-returning Gu, so the soul-returning Gu has grown in her body, probably because of the Phoenix Gu, the soul-returning Gu has not been able to fully control her mind yet, she can still think independently.
But if...
She didn't want to become a walking dead, and she didn't want to be Han Tianming's host. What she saw just now, that... the face that appeared in the mirror was Han Tianming!
While the buddy was taking a nap, Shen Muxi quietly led the horse out of the stable, got on the horse, and rode away.
Han Tianming, since I brought you out of the desert, I will send you back. At worst, I will lose this life, at worst, I, Shen Muxi, will perish with you and die in the yellow sand all over the sky.
Riding the horse and galloping wildly, Shen Muxi didn't dare to go the right way, and kept walking towards the path. She was worried that if the soul-returning Gu in her body activated, she might not be able to control it, and when it hurt innocent people, she would be to blame for death...
When Bo Yunxiu found out that Shen Muxi was missing, it was too late.
"My lord!" Mi Li exclaimed.
There is a piece of paper on the table, with her delicate handwriting on it: Soul-returning Gu is in my body, don't look for me anymore!
"Returning soul Gu?!" Mi Li's face turned blue, when he came to his senses, his master rushed out like crazy, "My lord?!"
The horse in the stable had lost its breath.
On the hay of the stable, mottled bloodstains were clearly visible, it can be seen that... Shen Muxi did it before he left. This poor villager had no legs, and without a horse, even if they wanted to catch up with her, they would be powerless.
"My lord, the princess is determined to run away." Mi Li was in a hurry, "This is a fool, the princess is not feeling well, where will this one go alone? Right now, what should I do?"
Bo Yunxiu walked out of the inn, now she knew exactly what she wanted to do
"She must want to send the soul-returning Gu back to the desert!" Bao Yunxiu clenched her fists in her sleeves, "It's absolutely right to go back!"
"I'm humble, go and ask the innkeeper if there are any horses in the town that can sell us two." Mi Li saluted, and then went back to find the innkeeper.
It is completely impossible to rely on their own foot strength alone. People's physical strength is limited, if they are all used to travel, in case something happens, they will be exhausted. Previously in the desert, they had suffered enough from physical exhaustion.
Fortunately, the shopkeeper really found two horses for them in the town. Although they were not comparable to their previous horses, they would not delay their journey.
Go back the same way and turn back to the border.
Bo Yunxiu's face was grim and cold, and he tightened the reins in his hand, hoping... Mrs. Bo could stop him in time.
At dawn, the sky began to rain.
The cold wind in the woods was accompanied by rain, and it was so cold that Muxi shivered instantly and sneezed a few times. After running around all night, she only felt that the scenery in front of her was swaying from side to side, and she was not as awake as before. Turning over and getting off the horse, Shen Muxi tied the horse to the tree, and leaned against the trunk like a loser, "Han Tianming, do I owe you? You are so ruthless that you don't even give a way to survive! Is there such a selfish person like you in this world? You have deceived and harmed so many people, and you only want to gain longevity... "
No wonder it is said that good people don't live long, while evil people live thousands of years.
It really makes sense!
The rain was drifting lightly, a hare suddenly jumped in front of him, Shen Muxi felt that his body was suddenly out of control, and he rushed over like crazy.
Attacking rabbits without any skills is often unlikely to succeed. After all, Shen Muxi doesn't know martial arts at all, and he is under the condition of exhaustion. But at this moment, she seemed to be involuntary, her mind was cloudy, as if she was asleep and dreaming.
When the rabbit mentioned it, Shen Muxi seemed to see it clearly again, he was startled, and opened his mouth involuntarily.
Countless voices were screaming in her heart, she couldn't hear clearly, this flickering feeling made her very uncomfortable, as if her whole body was going to be divided, and she was about to be torn in half.
When the smell of blood flooded into his mouth, Shen Muxi was startled.
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Muxi trembled all over his body, looking at the blood on his hands, and the rabbit that was thrown on the ground, whose neck was bitten off by himself, his whole body collapsed.
Her body was shaking like chaff, she hugged herself subconsciously, quickly curled up at the foot of the tree, her nails pinched tightly on her arm, wondering if the pain could keep her awake
Master is gone, Yuegui is gone, Chunxiu is not here, and Aluo is not here either.
All she can rely on now is herself, and in this terrible situation, she can only rely on herself!
"I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of you..." Her body trembled violently, her vision gradually became numb, and a little bit of gray faded in her eyes, and she finally fixed her eyes on the rabbit that was still dying on the ground.
No, what she is staring at is not the rabbit, but the blood of the rabbit...
The soul-returning Gu has been suppressed in the desert for too long, and the evil energy has been suppressed and cannot be released. Now it is restrained by her phoenix Gu. Only by constant killing and bloodthirsty can the soul-returning Gu gradually recover and come back to life. come over.
However, the soul-returning Gu is already so powerful before it recovers, if it really recovers, she will no longer be Shen Muxi, she will no longer be her.
"I'm not afraid of you..." Shen Muxi gritted his teeth, "Han Tianming! Han Tianming..."
She tried hard to stay awake, but she was too tired, it was cold and rainy, and there was no one around who could help her. She didn't even dare to die. Once she died, if the body was not found for a long time, the phoenix Gu would die with it. When the time comes, the soul-returning Gu will not be controlled, and things will get out of hand.
"I can't die, I won't die! My life is up to me, not up to you, let alone you!" Blood oozes from her arms, she curls up into a ball, no matter what, she has to get through it, she has to get through it.
She is a living person, can't she win a dead person
Bo Yunxiu, I can do it! I can!
Is it right
She knew that he would come to her eventually, she couldn't stop him, and no one could stop Bao Yunxiu. He will definitely go to the border to block her, no matter what happens in the future, he will live and die with her.
Han Tianming, have you ever loved someone in this life, have you ever sacrificed your life for someone
People like you, selfish, will never understand... There are some things that can transcend life and death!
It also rained last night in the eastern capital, and it was wet everywhere in the morning.
Bo Yu stretched, "You were talking nonsense again last night."
"I dreamed of my mother again, and my mother is crying!" Shen Zhi's face turned pale, "Mother is crying!"
"Look at you, you're talking nonsense early in the morning!" Bo Yu frowned, and put his arm on Shen Zhi's shoulder, "My aunt is thousands of miles away, and you always dream of her crying or her bloody , Why can’t you have a good dream? She’s fine! She’s safe! Don’t scare yourself!”
Shen Zhi pushed him away, "You won't understand that real feeling."
"I don't understand, but I know that my aunt has her own destiny, and she will return safely. Even if it's for you, she will take good care of herself!" Bo Yu curled her lips, "Don't think about it, Otherwise, before aunt comes back, you will go crazy first!"
Shen Zhi ignored him, and got into the carriage as soon as he went out.
"It's raining today, do you still have to enter the palace?" Bo Yu frowned.
"Would you like to go!" Shen Zhi got into the car.
"Let's go, how can we not go?" Bo Yu followed closely, "As a brother, you have to be loyal, not to mention that she is also my aunt, can I ignore it? But the fifth uncle's matter is really hard to find out, How many years has this person disappeared, you can check now... the world is so big, who knows where he will be!"
Yongxiang Palace.
"That's right here!" Bo Yunchong led Shen Zhi in, "Look, it's covered in a layer of dust, no one dares to come here to clean it, they say there will be ghosts in the middle of the night, even mice and cockroaches have to run away .”
Bu Tang gouged him out, "What the hell is going on? It's almost a joke."
Bo Yunchong realized that he might have frightened the two children, so he hurriedly followed Butang's words and changed his words with a smile, "I just said that casually, and you all know that those servants in the palace are very annoying and often lazy. No one lives here, so they just don't want to clean it, so they made up these nonsense stories."
In the courtyard of Yongxiang Palace, there are still some props from that year. The color has faded long ago due to the wind and sun. Many things are fragile and torn apart with a light touch. It can be seen that since Bo Yunfeng left, there is no one here anymore. to take care of.
"Whatever you're looking for, just look for it by yourself. Everything here is unowned." Bo Yunchong stood in the corridor and sighed softly, "He's been away for many years, who knows when he'll come back from a stroll. Besides Even the slaves don’t look down on the things here.”
Bo Yu was puzzled, "Before fifth uncle, he was also a prince after all!"
"So what about the prince? He's so poor that he's only skin and bones!" Bo Yunchong snorted, "A steamed bun has to deceive the servants."
"So miserable?" Bo Yu's eyes widened, "Prince..."
"It's true that you are a prince, but... In the palace, you can't be as expensive as your son, and you can't be as expensive as your mother, even a slave is inferior. If you don't get the money, you will still be bullied by your slaves!" Bo Yunchong shook his head, "There are five brothers in total, and in the end...he became the most handsome one!"
Suddenly, Bo Yunchong rubbed his chin and said, "Do you think he's outside and starved to death?"
Bu Tang kicked him on the calf, "I asked you to help find clues, why are you talking nonsense?"
It made Zhi'er worry for no reason, it really deserves a beating!
Bo Yunchong felt wronged, "I just feel, feel..."
"You think it's a fart, find it quickly!" Bu Tang took the lead and walked towards Bo Yunfeng's bedroom.
The moment the door was pushed open, everyone froze on the spot.
