Gao Cheng is an abandoned baby who was abandoned by his parents in Xiwei Mountain when he was born.
For as long as he could remember, he knew he had a master. He raised him, taught him to read and practice martial arts, but he never stepped out of this Xiwei Mountain. When Gao Cheng was a little older, he heard his master secretly mention to him that there was a treasure on the mountain, and he stayed here to protect the treasure.
There have always been rumors of mountain ghosts eating people in Xiwei Mountain. Gao Cheng was not afraid at all when he stayed on the mountain at a young age, because he knew that there were no mountain ghosts. It was just a rumor deliberately created by his master to prevent the people from approaching.
When Gao Cheng was ten years old, his master almost died because he ate poisonous mushrooms by mistake. Although he was rescued in the end, he became delirious since then. The master has strong martial arts skills, and he was worried that he would hurt others, so he paid special attention to the people who went up the mountain.
One day, Ma Yuanliang brought a large group of people up the mountain, and Gao Cheng followed them secretly, fearing that something might happen to them. When it was dark, all the people who followed Ma Yuanliang went down the mountain, and Gao Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Ma Yuanliang still stayed on the mountain to continue looking for the mushroom king.
Gao Cheng was afraid that he would bump into his master, so he wanted to pretend to be a mountain ghost to scare him back, but he didn't expect Ma Yuanliang to go to the "forbidden place" in the blink of an eye.
The forbidden area was divided by his master, let alone outsiders, even he couldn't get close to it easily. He watched Ma Yuanliang go that way, he thought something was wrong, and just about to pull him back, his master threw Ma Yuanliang to the ground like an arrow from the string.
The following scene was too bloody, the young Gao Cheng was so frightened that his face turned pale, he hugged a tree behind him and vomited. Fortunately, although his master went mad, he still recognized him, so he just casually wiped the blood stains all over his face, and returned to the forbidden area.
This incident had a great impact on Gao Cheng, his master's martial arts were too much higher than him, if someone accidentally broke into the forbidden area next time, he would not be able to stop the master. So he began to pretend to be Ma Yuanliang's wronged soul, so that the people dare not go up the mountain during the day. This plan was very successful at the beginning, and no one was seen on Xiwei Mountain for several days, but he never expected that Ma County Magistrate would think of a way to hold a ghost marriage for his son, and give Miss Sun to the family. Buried alive.
Gao Cheng fantasized about becoming a hero who would fight for justice since he was a child. He even thought of the name of their sect, which was called Seven Star Sect. But now because of him and his master, two people were killed one after another, Gao Cheng felt very painful. He didn't dare to pretend to be Ma Yuanliang's wronged soul anymore, so he had to keep an eye on his master all the time to prevent him from leaving the forbidden area.
But recently, his master's condition suddenly deteriorated, and he seemed to be more mad than before. Gao Cheng couldn't let him just stay in the forbidden area anymore, and it didn't take long before the news that Ma Yuanliang's wronged soul came out to make trouble again spread in Liang County.
Gao Cheng was worried that magistrate Ma would find a woman to marry Ma Yuanliang to Ma Yuanliang as he did five years ago, so he kept paying attention to this matter, but he really found out that a girl from a farmer's family was arrested by Ma County magistrate In the middle of the day, he planned to secretly send him up the mountain to be buried in the name of the second son.
He inquired about Haori, quietly ambushed on their only way, and rescued Liu Qinghuan who was disguised as Hu Lingshan.
After hearing his words, Xue Mu pondered for a while and said, "Since your master is so dangerous, you can't let him continue to harm people on the mountain."
Hearing what he said, Gao Cheng immediately became nervous: "What do you want?" Although his master's madness would kill people, he couldn't ignore him. His life was saved by his master, and he raised him , taught him many things, and is both a master and a father to him.
Xue Mu glanced at him and asked, "Do you know your master's name?"
Gao Cheng thought about it, but decided to tell the truth: "Gao Zhengping."
Xue Mu's eyebrows twitched slightly, always feeling that the name sounded familiar. According to his speculation, the treasure Gao Zhengping was talking about was Wen Wei's corrupt property, so he should be Wen Wei's subordinate.
Seeing that he was silent, Gao Cheng subconsciously emphasized: "I will not let you kill my master."
Although his master's martial arts skills are strong, after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and these soldiers are all well-trained, plus a general Pingxi, there is almost no chance of winning.
Xue Mu paused, and said: "There are some famous doctors in Chang'an City, who might be able to cure your master's madness."
Gao Cheng's thoughts moved. It's not that he hadn't thought about finding a doctor to treat Gao Zhengping in the past few years, but he didn't dare to let Gao Zhengping leave Xiwei Mountain and find a doctor to come up the mountain... probably no doctor has the courage to do so, so this matter It has been delayed until now. But now that the general is here, he should be able to subdue his master. If he can really cure his master's madness, it will also fulfill his wish.
He looked up at Xue Mu, and his tone sounded extremely serious: "If you can promise not to hurt my master, I will take you to the forbidden area."
Xue Mu said: "Okay."
Gao Cheng always felt that he dismissed himself with a single word, which was a little perfunctory, but he still reminded: "My master is very skilled in martial arts, and when he is mad, he kills anyone he sees. You must not take it lightly."
Xue Mu nodded, and even omitted the word "good" this time.
Gao Cheng glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, and asked, "When are we going to leave?"
"Wait a little longer." When Lingnan King received the news, he could set off.
After the two chatted, Xue Mu turned around and went back to the cave, without any sense of guilt for occupying the magpie's nest. The poor leader of the Seven Stars Sect can only stay outside the cave and look up at the sky.
Liu Qinghuan was sitting on the thatched bunk with her eyes closed, but when she sensed Xue Mu coming in, she opened her eyes and took a look.
Xue Mu saw that her complexion was still not good, and there were a few bloodstains on her clothes, so she frowned and sat down beside her: "Did you get hurt on your waist?"
Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips and said, "Well, I was shot with an arrow in the secret passage of the Ao Temple before."
Xue Mu frowned even tighter, and stretched out his hand to untie Liu Qinghuan's clothes: "Let me see."
Liu Qinghuan's face burned, and she stopped subconsciously.
Xue Mu raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Why are you embarrassed? I saw you all when you took a bath last time."
…
Liu Qinghuan was so choked by him that she couldn't speak, she didn't dare to stop him, Xue Mu untied her belt lightly, and opened her shirt to have a look. The wound was bandaged before, and it had already started to scab, but it seemed to be torn once, and a lot of blood came out again.
Originally, this kind of wound was not worth mentioning in Xue Mu's eyes. It was neither big nor deep, but one or two wounds could be found on everyone in their army. But now that it grows on Liu Qinghuan's body, it is extremely dazzling - especially when compared with the intact skin next to Liu Qinghuan, it looks hideous and terrifying.
"Does it hurt?" Xue Mu helped her tidy up her clothes one by one. He still remembered that Liu Qinghuan was most afraid of pain since she was a child.
"Well, it hurts." She wanted to comfort Xue Mu and say it didn't hurt, but she couldn't say such words against her will because her waist was so hot.
Xue Mu kissed the corner of her mouth distressedly, and whispered in her ear: "Be patient, and you will be able to return to Chang'an soon."
"Hmm..." Liu Qinghuan responded sullenly, and asked, "Are you planning to lure Lingnan King and Tang Zibo to Xiwei Mountain?"
"Um."
Liu Qinghuan thought for a while, and then said, "He won't be fooled so easily."
Xue Mu sneered: "He will never miss such an excellent opportunity." He came to Liang County this time only to find Liu Qinghuan, so he only brought a team of people, Lingnan King and Aies wanted to get rid of him, This is the best time for the two to join forces.
Liu Qinghuan looked at him sideways, pursed her lips and said, "Even if he really will come, it won't be so easy to hand over the antidote."
Xue Mu held her soft hand and said in a low voice: "Even if he refuses to hand over the antidote, there are many famous doctors in the palace who will definitely be able to cure the poison on your body."
Liu Qinghuan lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Tang Zibo said that this poison is a rare medicine brought back from the Western Regions by the King of Lingnan, and it is difficult to detect it. When I just found out that I was poisoned, I also secretly went to a few doctors. , but after they took my pulse, they all said that I was in good health, and there was no sign of poisoning."
Xue Mu's eyes moved: "Is it possible that they will not be able to detect the toxicity until the onset of toxicity? Or their medical skills are not good."
"But last time Feng Yu personally came to check my pulse, and he didn't find anything wrong with me."
Xue Mu slowly tightened his right hand, and wrapped Liu Qinghuan's little hand into his own: "If there is □□, there must be an antidote, and I will definitely cure you."
Although she knew that Xue Mu was comforting herself, she still wanted to believe what he said.
Seemingly aware of Liu Qinghuan's emotions, Xue Mu forced her to turn her head sideways and look at herself: "Qingqing, trust me, you will be fine. After you recover, I will take you to hunt in the Western Mountains for you. Catch a cute little leopard, and I will take you to the West Market, buy you a lot of spice eyebrows unique to the Western Regions, and I will hold your hand and walk around the streets and alleys of Chang'an City with you."
Liu Qinghuan's eyes became more and more moist with Xue Mu's words, she sniffed, and suggested: "Otherwise, help Aniang have a grandson, she is in a hurry."
Xue Mu lowered his head and laughed silently, then buried his head gently on Liu Qinghuan's shoulder: "Actually, I'm also in a hurry."
Liu Qinghuan finally smiled through tears, Xue Mu lightly bit her small earlobe, and said softly: "Qingqing, you still owe me a bridal chamber, you are not allowed to renege."
