Qingzhe came over. Gu Fuyou turned around, her eyes glowing red, and she looked at Qingzhe fiercely. She no longer had the gentle look she had towards Zhong Michu, as if she would kill Qingzhe if he took another step forward.
Qing Man said: "Maybe there is still hope. If you delay any longer, there will be no hope."
When Gu Fuyou heard this, she turned around and looked at Qing Man. Her expression softened immediately. She said to Qing Man, "I will listen to you. I will listen to you."
As long as Zhong Michu gets better, anything is fine.
Qing Man said: "Give her to me."
Gu Fuyou hugged Zhong Michu and stood up, then handed the person to Qingman. When he let go, he took a step forward and pulled his hand out carefully, as if if he used a little more force, the person in his arms would be broken.
Qing Man held Zhong Mi Chu and raised her chin to signal Feng Sui. Feng Sui noticed her look and looked confused. Qing Man said impatiently, "Take the staff and follow me." She needed a helper.
Feng Sui quickly took her staff and followed her, heading towards the Lost Forest. Gu Fuyou followed closely behind.
Qing Man turned around and said, "The Ten Directions Five Mountains Suppressing Evil Formation still needs to be repaired."
How could Gu Fuyou dare to leave Zhong Michu? She didn't dare. She was afraid. She was afraid that if she missed a moment of time, they would be separated by a hundred miles and never see each other again. She didn't want to go through it again.
Even though she was one step away, her heart was still shaking. She dared not move her eyes. She had to put her ear close to Zhong Michu's heart so that she could hear that voice from time to time, only then could she feel at ease.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qing Man didn't turn back to go to Black Mountain. "She is half dead and half alive. She has sealed the chain formation. Now there is only one step left. If you don't care, if something goes wrong, all your efforts will be wasted. You want her to go in again."
These words made Gu Fuyou stop in his tracks and look at Qingman for a while, "I think she's alive."
It was a very normal sentence, but Qing Man sensed a threat in it. For thousands of years, she had never been afraid of anyone, but just now, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Qing Man frowned, said nothing, and carried Zhong Mi Chu to Mi Tu Lin's own courtyard.
Qingman was worried that something might happen if Gu Fuyou stayed alone near Black Mountain, so she left Qingzhe there to watch over her. If anything happened, he would be able to stop it.
Along the way, Qing Man ordered Feng Sui to collect spiritual herbs. Since there was no one around, Feng Sui stepped into the fence for the first time.
Qing Man put Zhong Mi Chu on the bed. She fainted when she came out. Qing Man stripped her clothes and checked her injuries. She was so angry that she clicked her tongue.
No wonder there was blood raining all over the sky when she was summoned. The girl's dragon scales were severely damaged, with sharp wounds of all sizes. She was probably injured by Zhu Yan's sharp claws. She was summoned in the form of a dragon, and her body was huge, so she bled a lot.
The snow-white body was covered with scars and bloodstains, like pear blossoms crushed into red mud.
Qingman sighed in distress.
Qing Man needed medicinal herbs urgently. Feng Sui walked in and saw a flash of snow-white color. Before he could see clearly, he had expected it in his heart and turned around quickly, "Senior, medicinal herbs."
Qingman came over and took it, and told him to go to the east ear room to get a set of silk threads.
He was full of doubts and didn't know what to do with the silk thread. He still followed Qingman's instructions and found the silk thread. The silk thread was transparent and would not be visible at all if it were not for the strange color under the light.
He handed the ball of silk thread over and waited outside the room. He seemed to be puzzled and glanced out of the corner of his eye. He saw Qing Manyu passing the silk thread through Zhong Michu's wound. The silk threads floated in the air, numerous but not messy, and contained a layer of soft spiritual light under the light that slanted into the room.
He clasped his hands together and prayed for Zhong Michu in his heart.
When it was dark, Gu Fuyou and Qingzhe came over. Gu Fuyou looked tired and hurried, and ran into Feng Sui who was holding Zhong Michu's bloody clothes. Feng Sui didn't know where to hide.
Gu Fuyou's throat slid, he swallowed, and asked, "Where is the person?"
"Master, there's someone inside." Feng Sui pointed to the room.
Gu Fuyou took two steps at a time. Qingman had already finished cleaning up. The room smelled of green grass. Zhong Michu lay quietly on the bed, his face pale, with a dark blue under his eyes. In order to make it easier to apply medicine, he changed into a new layer of thin clothes, which made him look even weaker.
Gu Fuyou tiptoed to the bed, sat down on the bed board, and looked at her.
Qingman glanced at the two of them, recalled some past events, felt very emotional, and quietly retreated.
Qingzhe was outside and asked, "What happened?"
Qing Man shook her head. "It depends on her luck."
Qingzhe frowned, looking unhappy. He had come to repair the seal with the determination to die, but in the end he was unscathed, while Zhong Michu, a junior, was seriously injured. He felt a little upset.
It’s also difficult to explain to the dragon clan.
Emperor Jun wanted to come, but Zhong Michu refused, saying that someone must be in charge. Emperor Jun agreed, but it was because Zhong Michu did not explain how dangerous the trip was.
In the next few days, Gu Fuyou sat on the bed, holding Zhong Michu's hand, resting his head in his arms, looking at her without blinking.
Qingman made the medicine and when she came in to change the medicine, she saw that she was motionless and suspected that she had not changed her posture.
On second thought, this is better than going crazy, shouting and killing, and threatening to die. This is already considered well-behaved and considerate.
Zhong Michu has not woken up once in the past few days. The only comforting thing is that her pulse is a little stronger than before, but it is still weak.
Gu Fuyou sent Feng Sui back. He didn't know what was happening outside. Zhu Yan's formation was repaired, and the roar and vibration could no longer be felt. The two sects were still nagging and pressing forward. Whether Mr. Zhai and the others could handle it or not, it shouldn't be a big deal, as there were the Qingluan Clan and the Dragon Clan.
Gu Fuyou felt quite depressed. She felt that everything had lost its original colour and nothing could arouse her interest at all.
Not long ago, she was planning to regain her lofty ambitions. Life must have some meaning, and she thought her meaning was her original "absurd" ideals.
Now I feel that it is not right, the ideal is only half. She still needs someone, someone to watch her climb to the top and achieve what she wants. This "person" used to be her father and brother, the ones who looked down on her. But her father and brother are gone, no one dares to look down on her anymore, those people are afraid of her.
Who else can watch her? And Zhong Michu.
Zhong Michu said, "And I will always be watching you."
She wanted Zhong Michu to always be by her side, watching over her.
But Zhong Michu was lying in front of her, not opening her eyes.
That night, she lay in front of the bed and had a dream. It was the same dream she had when she was unconscious after being taken out of Black Mountain by Feng Sui. She saw the same scene again.
It was a wilderness, lush and green with endless bounds. After thousands of years, this place was called Ningcheng.
Qingjun and Diyi met here, and the two tribes were already on the verge of a war.
Both of them have shed the immaturity of their youth; one is graceful and the other is handsome.
Qingjun looked worried and said in a very aggressive tone, "You want me to stop. But you know that it is you, the Dragon Clan, who have sent out troops, crossed the border, and are heading towards our five continents. You were the ones who started the war, and we are just resisting. Oh, it's us who are wrong, so we should hold our heads in our hands and kneel down to welcome you?"
Emperor Yi was wearing a light armor, his hand resting on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and he said helplessly: "Why did the dragon clan rise up in rebellion? Jiang Zhuo is the son of the Four Seas Dragon King, and he is the prince of the Golden Dragon lineage. You all know that the dragon clan is protective of their shortcomings. Let's not talk about Qing Man for now. As the head of the clan, you represent the entire Qing Luan clan, but you acted rashly and got involved in this matter, and joined forces with Qing Man to deal with him..."
Qingjun showed a look of disgust, "If Qingman hadn't been unable to defeat him, I wouldn't have taken action. Besides, if he hadn't been attracted to me and couldn't look away, the formation wouldn't have taken effect, and he wouldn't have turned into a stone statue."
Emperor Yi said: "You could have informed the Dragon Clan and let them punish him, instead of taking his life privately and using that formation to turn him into a stone statue." According to the Qingluan Clan, their souls would be imprisoned here forever, "He didn't commit such a crime."
"Dragon tribe?" Qingjun sneered, "I don't believe them. You also said that the dragon tribe protects their own people. How will they punish him? Put him in solitary confinement? I'm afraid that in the eyes of the dragon tribe, betraying his wife and having an affair with other women are not considered wrong. They broke the sky, and just gave him a few whips to make a show of burning Qingman."
"The dragon clan protects its own shortcomings, not because it is unclear about right and wrong. If there is any fault, the Dragon King will punish it severely. If you are not satisfied, you can also discuss the two clans to jointly punish the crime." Emperor Yi lowered his eyes, "Perhaps you can tell me the matter first and discuss with me how to proceed. It will not lead to the stalemate today."
Di Yi's voice was low and a little condensed, "Or do you not believe me either?"
Qingjun tilted her head to look into the distance, where the grass stretched as far as the eye could see. "You have been speaking for Jiang Zhuo from the beginning. Your words are saying that what I did was wrong."
Emperor Yi couldn't help but take a step forward. "I'm not speaking for Jiang Zhuo, I'm speaking for the future of the two tribes. After generations of hard work, the relationship between the two tribes has become closer, but it will be destroyed in our hands. If the war continues, or even intensifies, how much blood will be shed before the flames of war are quelled? Have you ever thought about it?"
Qingjun held his chin high and did not bow his head. "It was you, the dragon clan, who started the war."
Emperor Yi refused to show weakness, "It was the Qingluan tribe that provoked the incident."
Qingjun walked over and stood in front of Di Yi. After she grew up, she was half a head shorter than him and could never surpass him. However, she became the clan leader, and her dignity and depth were tempered, while Di Yi became more gentle and restrained.
Although shorter than him, he was more imposing than him. "Is it the Qingluan tribe? Is it me and Qingman? Ha, if Jiang Zhuo didn't hurt Qingman, I wouldn't even bother to look at him. You keep saying that the dragon tribe protects its own shortcomings, but it doesn't mean that they can't tell right from wrong. When the two tribes first became friends, the ancestors discussed the marriage, but they hadn't decided on the candidate. It was Jiang Zhuo! Jiang Zhuo fell in love with Qingman, and made a vow to her. He moved Qingman with his sincerity, and Qingman was willing to accept the marriage. I thought he was single-minded, unlike other dragons, but in the end, his true heart changed over the years. It turns out that it's easy to change the country, but it's hard to change one's nature!"
"Does Jiang Zhuo not know Qing Luan's nature of loving only one person in a lifetime? If he can't afford this feeling, why would he pretend to be infatuated and say that the seas run dry and the rocks crumble? He shouldn't have provoked Qing Man in the first place! Even if his feelings for Qing Man faded, he should know that their marriage is a bridge between the two tribes. He still went out to find a woman without scruples, and hurt Qing Man unscrupulously for a woman and for his own face. He was the one who disregarded the friendship between the two tribes first, and he still wants me to show mercy?"
Emperor Yi said: "He made a mistake first, but his crime does not deserve death. If the marriage is not going well, the two can just divorce. If he is unhappy, he can be punished, but he should be spared to leave room for both clans!"
Qingjun said: "For me, Qingluan, his behavior deserves to be cut into pieces or hung on a memorial archway for public display. You think I don't know that you dragons protect people, but don't you know that I live for love and regard love as my life!"
"If you dragons really knew right from wrong, why would you raise an army for him?"
"The Dragon King raised the army not because of Jiang Zhuo, but because the leader of the Qingluan tribe secretly executed the prince of the Golden Dragon royal family! Qingjun, we should have compromised, but you took the matter to the extreme."
Qingjun pursed her lips and looked at Diyi. She originally wanted to meet him, but she didn't expect that when they started talking, she would be so unhappy. "Then what do you want me to do? Offer Qingman and me to let the dragon clan calm down their anger?"
Emperor Yi said: "Hand Qing Man over to the Dragon Clan, and you step down as the Clan leader. I will persuade the Dragon King to withdraw his troops. I know you don't care about the position of Clan leader. Qing Jun, there is still room for maneuver in this matter."
Qingjun sneered, "I don't care about the position of clan leader, but I'm not wrong, and my clan members don't think I'm wrong. Don't say that I won't resign because it's not my fault. As for Qingman, I will never hand her over to the Dragon Clan and let you touch a hair on her head!"
"If you, the Dragon Clan, want to mobilize your forces, then come on. The Qingluan Clan is not afraid of you."
Her words divided us. Di Yi sighed and felt tired. "I have the characteristics of the dragon in my bones, and you have the characteristics of the blue phoenix in your bones. You can't understand me, and I can't understand you."
Qingluan is willing to go to war for the sake of love, and none of the tribesmen would think it is wrong because this is the truth they believe in.
Emperor Yi thought, how can one act arbitrarily and disregard others when in a position like that? But it's not just Qingjun who is like this, how can the dragon race escape this nature
Qingjun was hurt by Di Yi's words, "You can't understand me, why? You think I'm making a fuss, you think what Jiang Zhuo did is normal and not a fault, Di Yi, are you leaving a way out for your future?"
Emperor Yi was startled, "You doubt me?"
Qingjun turned away and whispered, "Who knows. Jiang Zhuo was sincere and affectionate back then, but after a thousand years, he has changed in an instant."
The breath came up and choked in Di Yi's throat, making his handsome face flushed. His feelings were directly doubted. With the incident with Jiang Zhuo, Qingjun's suspicion was justified and understandable, but he had his pride and he could not tolerate such words being taken for granted.
He was so angry that he turned around in circles, but he didn't know what to say, "You...you..."
The more he did this, the more his heart ached. When it came to relationships, he became a fool, "eccentric, paranoid, and unreasonable!"
Qingjun's face flushed and he said angrily, "Oh! Now you know that I am eccentric, paranoid and unreasonable!"
Qingjun punched him on the chest with her fist, saying, "Stupid, stubborn, and self-righteous!"
She pushed Emperor Yi back step by step, then turned around and walked away in another direction without looking back.
Parted on bad terms.
The Qingluan and Dragon tribes had been at the pinnacle of power for too long, and they were crazy and self-centered. No one took a step back. What started as a small war turned into a war among the entire tribe as the friction grew. They had long forgotten where the initial conflict came from and why they mobilized. The war continued for several years.
Danxue Mountain is no longer a place where Emperor Yi visits in his spare time.
Being apart, her longing for him increased. She stared into the empty space, always in a daze from time to time, still not realizing that she was doing anything wrong.
The war continued until Zhu Yan showed up, and the two tribes hastily stopped fighting. Without a break, they turned their spearheads to fight Zhu Yan.
They were young and full of vigor at that time. Each of them had their own sharp edges that had not yet been rubbed off. They stabbed each other and made him bleed, but they were unwilling to give in and chose to stick to their own principles.
But time can never go back, and when everything has passed by, when you look back, you can only sigh and regret.
After the truce, they had a tender time and their relationship warmed up. But until Emperor Yi went to war, a mountain wall separated them forever.
In Xianluo, where Black Mountain is located, you can't see the rotation of the four seasons. Qingjun stood outside the mountain, watching the clouds roll in and out, the rain stop and fall, for so many days and months.
After losing something, looking back, all my memories are filled with warm times.
The thunder tribulation that leads to becoming an immortal came as expected. Qingjun avoided it, handed over his magic weapon, endured the thunder tribulation, and forged this ear-covering bell.
Immersed in the illusion of covering my ears, I comforted myself in front of the person who looked so real. I can deceive others and myself, but I can never deceive my own heart.
Finally one day, she collapsed and hugged the illusory Emperor Yi. Emperor Yi smiled and looked at her tenderly. She cried and said the words that she couldn't say yet, "I love you, I love you...", completely destroying all the illusions.
Gu Fuyou suddenly woke up from her dream, sat up straight, panted, and looked at her hands, her vision blurred because of tears. She couldn't tell whether she was Qingjun or Gu Fuyou, and couldn't break free from despair.
Gu Fuyou swallowed the air and saw the person on the bed clearly. The deep emotions squeezed her like a black package in the room. After being calm for several days, she finally went crazy, just like a calm lake surface when a huge rock fell into it, causing waves.
Gu Fuyou hugged the person on the bed and said, "I love you, I love you..."
She thought of Emperor Yi, the dragon bones wrapped around Zhu Yan in the belly of the mountain, and Qingjun who had waited for her on the top of the mountain for ten thousand years. Tears welled up in her eyes, and the more she spoke, the more scared she became, and the more she collapsed.
When I wake up from the dream, my emotions are delicate and sensitive. "I love you, you can't leave me."
Qing Man was awakened by the crying in the middle of the night. She went to the room and saw Gu Fuyou crying in his arms as if he had come back to life. She was so annoyed that she shouted, "You can't die, why are you crying?"
After another round of threats and further trouble, he threw the two out and then went back.
Gu Fuyou calmed down from the shock in his dream, looked at Zhong Michu's face, and touched it. In just a few days, this man had lost a lot of weight.
Gu Fuyou lay beside her, curled up against her, and whispered in her ear, "I love you. I will say it a thousand times in your ear. You have to wake up soon."
The author has something to say: Emperor Yi called Qingjun "Qingjun".
The story of Jiang Zhuo and Qing Man, the legend in Chapter 13 is about the entanglement between the two, and the Stone Girl Formation was created by Qing Jun.
