The hot spring water was misty, and the two of them were silent for a moment.
It may be that things are turned against each other. After a long time of embarrassment, Li Chaoge became indifferent. She nodded and said, "Okay."
Gu Mingke's words of giving up were already on his lips, but Li Chaoge didn't expect Li Chaoge to say "yes". Gu Mingke paused slightly, he was the one who went up? But Li Chaoge was still asking in front: "Should I turn around, or you come to the front?"
She was so generous, but Gu Mingke felt a subtle displeasure. It seems that there is no difference between men and women in her eyes, Gu Mingke is just a dead thing without gender to her.
Gu Mingke didn't know where the turmoil in his heart came from, so he responded nonchalantly: "You are a patient, so don't bother, I'll go into the water."
Li Chaoge heard Gu Mingke's cold voice, and his dryness slowly cooled down. Yes, she is just a patient, and Gu Mingke only has detoxification in mind, and she only looks for trouble when she thinks about it.
There was an inexplicable silence between the two. Gu Mingke took off the outermost wide-sleeved outer shirt, revealing the white brocade robe inside. The brocade robe was embroidered with silver-gray dark patterns, the cuffs were tightened, and the waist was tied high, making it look tall and slim.
Gu Mingke entered the hot spring wearing a white brocade robe, and his clothes were instantly wet. The mist is constantly evaporating from the hot spring. Although the brocade robe is opaque, it is tightly attached to Gu Mingke's body at this moment? It is especially fascinating.
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke looked away at the same time, both feeling a little regretful. But the matter has come to this point, Li Chaoge behaved in a calm manner, and Gu Mingke also showed a noble attitude of a doctor who is benevolent and saves the sick. Gu Mingke's eyelashes hung on? Water mist, and said: "If you mind, I can do acupuncture with my eyes closed."
"No need." Li Chaoge thought to this extent, is there any difference between opening and closing eyes? She didn't care about it, and said lightly: "You should open your eyes, what if I get the wrong piercing?"
Gu Mingke couldn't answer the question, silently condensed the needle from the water, and pierced the acupuncture point in front of Li Chaoge's body. Tiantu, Xuanji, Huagai, Zigong... Gu Mingke's hands are getting lower and lower? Li Chaoge's body is getting tighter and tighter. Her skin couldn't help being stained red. Gu Mingke went to take a needle. Before he said anything, Li Chaoge hurriedly said: "The hot spring is too hot, it's red because of the steam."
Gu Mingke's hand holding the needle paused slightly. He didn't notice it at first, but after Li Chaoge said this, he couldn't help but glance at that place. Li Chaoge's skin is fair and firm, soaked in the water waves at the moment, it is white and rosy, clear and flawless, and looks extremely radiant.
Li Chaoge's skin became even redder, and the crimson color went all the way to his neck. The tips of Gu Mingke's ears also turned red. He tilted his face and coughed lightly, and said, "It's not good to soak in the hot spring for too long. Come out after the acupuncture."
Li Chaoge was so embarrassed that his whole body was wrong, and he still responded very seriously: "I know."
Gu Mingke held a long and slender needle in his hand, and he was usually very neat when inserting the needle, but this time, for some reason, he hesitated for a moment.
Below Zigong point, there are Yutang and Tanzhong. These two points... are between the two chests. Li Chaoge was wearing a tube top, and his acupuncture points were naturally covered under a thin layer of clothing. Seeing Gu Mingke's hesitation, Li Chaoge gritted his teeth and was about to take off the tube top.
Gu Mingke was taken aback by Li Chaoge's actions, he quickly held Li Chaoge's arm and said, "No need."
Li Chaoge soaked in the hot spring for a long time, and the skin on his arm was steamed warm. When Gu Mingke grasped it, the skin in his palm was like curdling fat, warm and fragrant nephrite, and the touch was excellent. The two of them had physical contact before, but through the clothes at that time, the feeling was completely different from now. There was water on both of them, Gu Mingke's fingers were slightly cold, Li Chaoge's arms were warm, the skin of the two of them broke apart at the touch of a touch, Gu Mingke withdrew his hand, feeling unable to control his fingers for the first time in a thousand years.
He dipped his hands in the water and said as sternly as possible: "It's okay through the clothes. I'm worried that you will be offended."
Li Chaoge responded in a low voice, staring at the water surface on the other side, and said, "It's okay."
Gu Mingke condensed ice needles out of the water again, he never distracted, but this time, he was holding the thin ice needles in his hand, his fingertips seemed to still have the touch of Li Chaoge's skin, his eyes fell on the tube top , Unable to concentrate for a long time.
Gu Mingke secretly alerted himself, and tried his best to stick the needle tip into Yutang and Tanzhong acupoints without looking sideways. He went down along the meridian, gradually the needle was submerged in the water, and the acupuncture and moxibustion entered the waist and abdomen.
The ice needle is condensed by Gu Mingke's spiritual power and will not be melted by hot water, but at this moment it is not the needle's problem at all. Li Chaoge's waist and abdomen were tense, and beautiful lines could be vaguely seen. Gu Mingke didn't look at the water, he looked forward? Just relying on the feel of the needles and acupuncture points, there was no slight deviation.
Even so, the atmosphere in the hot spring was still very awkward. The waist and abdomen are already very sensitive parts. The water is hot, the needle is cold, and Gu Mingke’s hands are still moving in front of him. Li Chaoge wanted to scold the dead village and the old woman who drugged her more than once. What is so strange? The voodoo, why must? Use this solution
After the main vein was pierced, most of the detoxification was completed. Gu Mingke looked at the acupuncture points beside him, and detoxified Li Chaoge not far or near. Gu Mingke didn't mean to be rude when the slender needle tip pierced into the Lingxu acupoint, but he couldn't help seeing the scar on Li Chaoge's chest when he inserted the needle.
That is the scar left by the Qianyuan sword, which hurts the source and cannot be fully healed.
Gu Mingke secretly sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but relax a little more.
Gu Mingke left the hot spring after finishing the acupuncture. Li Chaoge had to say that she breathed a long sigh of relief. She quietly relaxed her body, and felt a chill slowly spread into the water along the needles. In addition to the voodoo, the impurities and ailments in the body were also discharged. Li Chaoge didn't exercise his kung fu, but he obviously felt that his meridians were much smoother.
This time is not just a detoxification, but also a big cleansing of the meridians. When the time was up, the ice needles melted automatically. Li Chaoge came out of the hot spring with his clothes on. He felt light and clear in his body. Not only did his cultivation improve, but his skin became fairer.
Based on this alone, she was not at a loss for being poisoned this time.
Gu Mingke has already returned to the hut in the forest. His clothes were obviously wet, but at this moment they became fresh and clean again. The two faced each other again, and looked away calmly.
Li Chaoge couldn't dry her clothes and hair in an instant like Gu Mingke, her hair was still wet, and her body was also steamed. Sitting in the room, Li Chaoge felt that the silence was too embarrassing, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "How did you find me?"
Gu Mingke kept looking out of the window. In winter, all trees were sluggish and life was extinct, so he didn't know what to see. He sounded calm and said, "I was lured away from the village. When I returned, you had disappeared. I found you in the forest following the breath you left behind."
Li Chaoge nodded and asked, "Where are the four warriors?"
Li Chaoge got out of trouble safely, and the Qianyuan sword returned to her. How could she not guess that it was Gu Mingke who found the four warriors and rescued her.
Gu Mingke's voice was still so flat: "Kill it."
Li Chaoge was slightly taken aback, killed all four? Li Chaoge is very clear about the strength of those four warriors, Gu Mingke killed four at once...
Seeing that she was silent, Gu Mingke asked, "What's the matter
"It's nothing." Li Chaoge shook his head and sighed, "It's just a pity that I didn't see you draw your sword."
He looks dignified and dignified, as if he will never get dusty all his life, Li Chaoge really can't help it? Imagine what it would be like for him to kill someone.
"There's nothing to regret." Gu Mingke didn't care, his eyes were cold, and he said almost indifferently, "I have killed more people than saved people?"
When he was in the mortal world, he was in charge of the dark part, killing countless people, with blood on his hands. When he reached the Heavenly Court, he was also in charge of the prison. Countless immortals were tortured under his hands. He looks noble and clean, but in fact, his body is full of darkness.
Li Chaoge was quiet, and suddenly said: "How can you say that? Although I don't know Dali Temple well, I heard that since you entered Dali Temple, no one has complained of injustice. Many years of unjust and wrong cases, you have all been rehabilitated It is true that writing books and criticizing current evils is just, but if everyone calls for justice and no one maintains world order, wouldn’t it lead to greater darkness and evil? You are just doing things that no one is willing to do. , Those who guard the shadows are the real light."
Gu Mingke didn't expect her to say this, he looked away from the window, and glanced at her with a smile: "You don't know anything, you take it for granted."
"Of course I don't understand your story." Li Chaoge snorted softly, raised his neck, still very confident, "But I understand you."
Gu Mingke originally wanted to laugh, but how long has she known him, how dare she say she knows him? But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't speak, nor could he laugh.
i understand you.
He has lived for so long, not to mention understanding him, but how many people can understand him
Li Chaoge doesn't know why Gu Mingke is quiet? Come on. She waited, but before Gu Mingke could speak, she took the initiative to ask, "The four warriors are dead, where is the village?"
"It's still there." Gu Mingke replied lightly, "In an unarmed civilian village, there is no need to blame the whole village for the fault of a few people."
Li Chaoge nodded. She also felt that it was wrong for them to murder living people, but if other villagers were innocent, they should be reincarnated. If the village is destroyed without further ado, what is the difference between them and the people who harmed Guibei Village
Li Chaoge asked: "These villagers seem to have lived in a long time ago. Why are they here?"
"There is a formation in the village." Gu Mingke seemed to sigh, he stroked the center of his eyebrows, and rarely showed tiredness, "Probably, he was awakened by someone again."
Li Chaoge's eyes moved, she stared at Gu Mingke closely, and asked, "Who?"
"I don't know." Gu Mingke's face was flat and almost indifferent, "Who is it, just go and see."
Li Chaoge raised an eyebrow. Gu Mingke thought she didn't understand, and explained to her: "You were put in the coffin when you were unconscious... Sorry, no offense, but it was just like that at the time. I guess you were more or less sacrificed by them." .”
Li Chaoge waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind: "I know. Before I fell into a coma, I vaguely heard that the old woman asked me to stay as a sacrifice. Is this martial god a god or a ghost? Why does he need a living person as a sacrifice? "
Gu Mingke moved his eyes. He concealed the uneasiness in his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he looked out of the way and said: "The villagers worship the gods, but in fact? What they worship is their own fantasy. They often impose some wishes on the gods. First, it’s like a sacrifice... When I was in the village, the reason why I pretended to be husband and wife with you was to prevent you from being chosen as a sacrifice. Unexpectedly, I still couldn’t hide.”
If Li Chaoge realized something, so he repeatedly blocked Li Chaoge from explaining, including pushing her down at the old woman's house, all to protect her? However, Li Chaoge frowned and couldn't help but feel disgusted: "What is the sacrifice of the Martial God? Why do you choose unmarried people?"
Gu Mingke was even more embarrassed. He said, "It's the common people who make their own decisions. If you're really curious, let's go take a look when you recover from your injury."
Li Chaoge nodded in response. She wants to see what tricks these people are up to.
The voodoo on Li Chaoge's body has been cleared for several days, and every time Gu Mingke needs to do acupuncture for her in the hot spring. Li Chaoge felt awkward at first, but gradually became numb and got used to it.
When the new year comes, Luoyang is full of fireworks and brightly lit, but Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke live in the remote mountains, quietly bathing in medicine and forcing poison, as if all the hustle and bustle in the world has nothing to do with them. Sometimes Li Chaoge was very bored, and he would talk to Gu Mingke for a discussion. Last time, he couldn't see Gu Mingke draw his sword, and Li Chaoge felt deeply regretful.
I don't know how long these days have passed. Suddenly one day, Gu Mingke woke her up early in the morning and said, "It's time to go."
Li Chaoge didn't ask why, and went out almost without delay. After coming out, Li Chaoge looked back at the cabin.
The log cabin is built in the bushes, almost blending with the dense forest. Although this place is simple, it is the place where Li Chaoge has slept most peacefully since his rebirth.
After that, it is estimated that we will not see each other again. For some reason, Li Chaoge felt a sense of reluctance in his heart.
Gu Mingke stopped not far away and did not urge her. Li Chaoge quickly withdrew his gaze and hurried to the front: "Let's go."
Li Chaoge didn't know what Gu Mingke used to find his way, but he turned around, went through a cave and crossed a stream, and finally stopped in front of a rocky cliff. Gu Mingke looked up emptily and said, "It's here."
Li Chaoge looked around, his eyebrows raised involuntarily. If it was normal, it would be no problem for her to climb such a cliff? But now, her voodoo is still unresolved, and the true energy in her body is not continuing, so climbing the mountain is a bit troublesome.
Li Chaoge was thinking about countermeasures when Gu Mingke stood beside him and suddenly whispered to her, "Hold on tight." Then he jumped up with his arms around her waist.
Li Chaoge was taken aback, and subconsciously grabbed Gu Mingke's clothes. Gu Mingke flitted across the nearly vertical mountain walls like a frightened bird, and he didn't even need to use force during the period, and soon landed smoothly.
The place where they landed was a small platform, behind them were lush mountains, and the rime was undulating with the mountains, and in front of them was a dark cave, the entrance of which was covered by vines, which could not be found without looking carefully.
Li Chaoge pushed aside the branches with his sword, and asked, "What are we doing here?"
Gu Mingke hissed her, entered the cave first, and said softly, "Come with me."
Li Chaoge followed behind Gu Mingke and bent down into the cave. This? It seems to be a secret road, which is extremely narrow and long, and in many places only one person can pass through. The stone walls are filled with cold air, and the ground is full of ice balls. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the secret path suddenly leveled out, and the space inside became larger, allowing two people to walk side by side on the road.
Li Chaoge walked beside Gu Mingke, quietly looking around at the surrounding murals. There are figures carved on the stone wall, and a child is in the center of the picture. Li Chaoge carefully identified it, and saw his birth, growth, study tour, participation in the war, and finally the grand celebration scene, as if it was someone's life. Li Chaoge looked at the mural and asked, "Where is this?"
"The real Martial God Temple." After Gu Mingke finished speaking, he signaled Li Chaoge not to make a sound. Li Chaoge also heard the movement in front of them, the two of them walked lightly, leaned against the wall lightly, and looked outside.
In front of it is a huge dome cave, and the place where Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke are located is just in the middle of the cave. Li Chaoge hid behind the stone, and saw a wide round altar below, with a tall statue of a martial god standing in the middle. At the feet of the statue, there were layers of villagers kneeling, and Li Chaoge condensed his true energy on his eyes. It's in it, and it's in the front
Everyone bowed their heads and knelt, clasped their hands together, and prayed in unison: "The emperor is on the sky, and shines on the earth below. Everyone has their own place, and the common people live together. It is safe and peaceful, and the king is in Xingshi. Use the bell as a guide to call the king back. …”
As they whispered, the bells around the altar rang automatically without wind. It is like some kind of guide, calling the lost to return home.
Li Chaoge was slightly taken aback. Isn't this the singing that she faintly heard when she was unconscious that day? There was also a ringtone in the background. Li Chaoge felt very familiar in her dreams. Now that she thinks about it, she has heard these words before.
More than ten days ago, when Gu Mingke explained the ancient spirit-inducing technique in the treasury of the demon town more than ten days ago, he seemed to say with some nostalgia: "When a guest dies in a foreign land, the undead cannot be crossed. Use the bell as a guide to call the king back."
How did Gu Mingke know the sacrificial speech? Moreover, he is too familiar with the Martial God Temple. The villagers below may not know that there is a secret passage here, but Gu Mingke was able to find the back mountain and sneak in without anyone noticing.
Li Chaoge was in a daze, and the villagers finished their prayers. They stood up and retreated under the altar according to their positions of honor and inferiority. A masked figure steps up to the altar, followed by three coffins. After the villagers who carried the coffin put the coffin down, they withdrew their hands and retreated.
The masked man circled around the coffin three times. He danced a strange dance and muttered in his mouth: "Bright light is on the top and bottom? Diligent in all directions. Weiyu worshiped the God of War alone, celebrated his birthday, and offered three People, above the emperor? Serve the god of war... "
Li Chaoge hid behind the stone, and while watching the ceremony, he taunted Gu Mingke: "It turns out that the gods also marry three wives and four concubines? I thought that after becoming a fairy, they would not indulge in the world. Unexpectedly, there is no difference between gods and ordinary men .”
Gu Mingke was watching indifferently, but when he heard Li Chaoge's words, he was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help justifying the god's name: "No, this? It's the villagers who made wild speculations and made their own decisions."
Li Chaoge glanced at him strangely: "How do you know?"
Gu Mingke was stuck and really couldn't explain it. Li Chaoge snorted lightly, shook his head and said, "Men really don't change their nature, they are dead, and they still want three wives and four concubines."
Gu Mingke pursed his lips silently, looking at the side face extremely depressed. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, then asked, "These three coffins are all living women?"
Gu Mingke hummed lightly, and Li Chaoge heard some displeasure from it for some reason. Li Chaoge didn't have time to worry about it, and sighed: "If I hadn't escaped in time, I would be the one lying in it. They even planned to give me to the God of War... If the God of War is good-looking, I can still consider it reluctantly, if he really grows up In any case, I would not like to look like a statue."
Gu Mingke was determined to ignore her, and when he heard this, he couldn't hold back: "Are you so superficial, you only judge people by their appearance?"
"Otherwise." Li Chaoge is very confident, "Men are always like that after marriage, find a good-looking one, at least I look happy."
"How do I remember that your engagement is me?"
"I didn't say anything about you, what are you doing right?"
Gu Mingke turned his face away, too angry to speak. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, and used his arm to yell at Gu Mingke: "It's almost there, drive them away, and quickly rescue the girl in the coffin."
Gu Mingke thought to himself, are women so fickle, let him cast spells when they are useful, and throw them away when they are useless? Looking at her, it was as if she wasn't the one who said "a man always behaves like that after marriage".
Gu Mingke's slander belongs to his slander, people still need to be saved. He changed his gestures and cast several spells one after another. The sound of the bell suddenly became intense, and the patterns on the altar lit up one after another. The villagers below were shocked. Some ran away in panic, and some knelt down and worshiped the tall statue of the Valkyrie: "The Valkyrie has appeared! You are finally back!"
There are more and more people kneeling down to worship? But the Valkyrie is high above, his eyes are indifferent, and he is not moved by the believers below. As the light from the altar became brighter, the villagers' bodies gradually turned into phantoms, dissipating into the air like powder.
Soon, everyone disappeared. Li Chaoge looked at Xia Fang from a distance, and asked, "What did you do to them?"
"Scatter the spirit body and send it to reincarnation." This is the largest spell Gu Mingke has ever done since he came down to earth. He looked at his hands, and he was still very unaccustomed to being so weak. Gu Mingke rolled up his sleeves and said: "They are already dead, so why bring them back to the human world. Under the Underworld? Someone has calculated their sins and virtues for them, and after that, each of them will go to reincarnation. It has nothing to do with the Qin family."
Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, turned his head and stared at Gu Mingke with a half-smile: "Qin?"
Gu Mingke pointed at the statue expressionlessly: "His surname is Qin."
Li Chaoge smiled lightly. She nodded, looking noncommittal: "OK."
Gu Mingke waited until Fang Fang's dead breath had dissipated, and then he brought Li Chaoge down from the cave. Li Chaoge landed softly. The first thing she did was to go to see the people in the coffin. Fortunately, although they didn't respond to the outside world, they were still breathing. After Li Chaoge made sure that the three sacrifices were still alive, he went around the altar to take a look. It's a pity that the words on the above are too old. Li Chaoge tried hard for a long time, but he couldn't recognize any of them.
Li Chaoge sighed: "I actually lived with a group of dead people from ancient times for several days. My heart is really big."
"What happened to ancient times?"
"It's too old in ancient times." Li Chaoge knocked on the stone seat of the Martial God Statue with his sword, and found that it couldn't be pushed, so he regretted giving up. "I can't even calculate the age of people in ancient times."
Gu Mingke felt helpless, Li Chaoge finished attacking his appearance, and started to attack his age again. Li Chaoge was almost finished, so he walked down the altar with his sword in hand. Gu Mingke was standing under the altar? Waiting for her, seeing too much of the grotesque Valkyrie, Li Chaoge now finds Gu Mingke surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
Li Chaoge walked down the steps quickly and asked, "What about the three girls?"
Li Chaoge asked quite intentionally, is it still the way to use medicinal bath and acupuncture? Wake it up? She was feeling a little bit reluctant in her heart, when she heard Gu Mingke say: "They have been drugged, and they should be fumigated with antidote for a few days."
Li Chaoge's inexplicable emotions dissipated immediately, and she didn't even react, and blurted out: "Why do they only need smoked medicine when they are poisoned?"
After saying that, Li Chaoge felt embarrassed, she tried to explain: "I don't doubt you..."
"I understand." Gu Mingke intercepted Li Chaoge's words, and replied, "You've never seen this kind of poison before, so it's normal to have doubts. You have martial arts, and the drug they gave you was specially prepared. But These three women have no power to bind a chicken, and they are just ordinary drugs."
Li Chaoge nodded, and quickly skipped over this topic: "Where are we going to find the antidote?"
"There are in the mountains." Gu Mingke said that he was about to go out, but Li Chaoge stopped where he was, and pointed to the back with some hesitation, "They are still in a coma."
"If you are worried, you can take them on the road." Gu Mingke coldly put his hands behind his back, with a very clear attitude, "Anyway, I won't do anything."
All right, Li Chaoge gave up, she caught up with the former, and said: "Then let's go back quickly, it's not safe for them to lie here alone."
Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke stayed in the Wushen Temple for several days. When the three women were detoxified and were about to wake up, they put down their food and maps and left quietly. Li Chaoge wanted to leave the mountain immediately and go to the city to find help, but was stopped by Gu Mingke.
Gu Mingke said: "The residual poison on your body has not been cured yet, even if you want to go out now, you will be powerless. The villagers have disappeared, and there is no difference between a few days sooner or later. Why don't you stay in the mountains for a few more days, and then go out after your body fully recovers."
Li Chaoge thought about it, so he stayed in the mountains to recuperate. When Li Chaoge returned to Fenzhou and regained contact with the outside world, it was already the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.
Fenzhou City still had the festive atmosphere of the Lantern Festival. After entering the city, Li Chaoge went straight to the governor's office, but she was stopped by another group of people when she was only halfway there.
"Princess, I have found you." Seeing her, Bai Qianhe was so excited that he almost burst into tears, "Something has happened to Dongdu! The crown prince is seriously ill, and the Holy Queen urgently called you back to the palace."
The author has something to say: bright light shines up and down, and diligently shines in the four directions, Wei Yu a person who worships the emperor's heaven - the pre-Qin sacrificial speech
