Mo Xi took Gu Mang out of the treatment room.
A secret is in a person's heart, that's called a secret. Between two people, that's called a contract. When a third person finds out, it becomes a handle.
There were more than a dozen people who witnessed Mo Xi's rescue of Gu Mang. Although they were all well-trained top secret guards, they were still human after all.
There are not more than a dozen people in this world who know the secret that is still unexplored, so the story of Xi Hejun risking his life to rescue a traitor spread quickly throughout Chonghua City. Originally, there were a lot of speculations about sex, but when the news came, many people who had been cautious and reserved before also fell into doubt.
"Are Xi and Jun crazy? Why do you want to do this for a rebel?"
"Ah? Don't you know? In fact, the relationship between the two of them is not that simple at all."
"I know they were brothers from birth to death, but—"
"Brother born to death? You really should listen to what Murong Lie said. He is a relative of the royal family. Most of his speeches are not wrong. The truth is guaranteed to make you so shocked that you can't even close your mouth!"
For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, but Mo Xi was not in the mood to take care of these trivial matters.
Although he arrived in time and rescued Gu Mang from the completely demonized vortex, the mysterious "assassin" told Gu Mang the oath of calamity, and it was still a mental attack for those who were already on the verge of collapse. hits on.
Gu Mang's consciousness finally collapsed.
Just as Jiang Fuli once warned, Gu Mang's current situation has become worse than when he was just sent back by Liao Guo to negotiate peace. At that time, although Gu Mang thought he was a wild wolf, at least he still had a lot of life. And for people's minds.
But Gu Mang, who was traumatized again, lost almost all of his favor after he woke up.
—
"Liao Kingdom originally wanted to make him into a blade of flesh and blood when he tempered him. He doesn't need any ideas, as long as he can obey the military order, that's enough."
After Mengze diagnosed and treated Gu Mang's condition, he stood in the garden corridor of Xihe Mansion and said to the haggard Mo Xi.
"But I think it was the first time that Liao Kingdom made such an attempt at that time, and the control was not very good. Therefore, Gu Mang only changed his spiritual power, and his demonic energy became stronger. Apart from that, there was not much abnormality immediately. Change. And when he later showed signs of rage and became less and less under the control of Liaoguo, in order not to be affected by unpredictable danger, Liaoguo chose to goug out the two souls that dominated his memory and sent them back. We are reborn."
"As you can see, he's gotten to the point where he's completely out of control now. Except that he hasn't been devoured yet, he's pretty much an unsympathetic..."
Mengze hesitated for a moment, the word "monster" was soaked in the red lips, but he was still unable to say it.
Mo Xi's expression was too tired and too painful.
She grew up with him since she was a child. She had known him for so many years, and it was really rare to see his face like this.
There was a lingering drizzle outside the porch, the red mushrooms in the pond swayed in the wind, and a golden carp swayed under the large lotus leaves, lit up with sparkling patterns.
In the silence, Mo Xi suddenly whispered, "But he still remembers me."
Mengze: "…"
"After I took him out of the treatment room, he fell asleep for nearly two days, and then woke up. He didn't respond to what others said to him, but he still remembered me." Mo closed his eyes, as if he was talking to him. Mengze spoke, and seemed to comfort himself, "Whatever I tell him, he will always understand."
"That's because he hasn't been completely swallowed by the black demon. In his current state, his memory has basically been lost, and there are only very few remnants." Mengze sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know how long he can last."
"Big Brother Mo, Jiang Yaoshi told you before that his collapse this time, if there is no return of the two souls, it will be an irreversible death situation."
Mo Xi closed his eyes abruptly.
Raindrops knocked on the roof tiles, walls and eaves, and the stone surface of Taihu Lake. His dark eyebrows were frowning, and under the bridge of his straight nose, a pair of thin lips were pressed tightly.
It would be fine if Mengze said that he couldn't be saved, at least he still had a glimmer of hope. But before Chonghua's first medicine saint Jiang Fuli also mentioned the same thing to him a long time ago—
"Unless Gu Mang's two missing souls are found, the Daluo Immortal can't save him."
Mo Xi's fingertips sank into the palm of his hand, and he suddenly said, "How many medicine practitioners are there in the Kyushu Continent who can draw souls?"
Meng Ze was stunned for a moment!
"Brother Mo, do you want to..."
Mo Xi turned around and said to her, "I want to recall the two souls he was missing for him."
The expression that felt infinitely absurd could hardly be concealed on Mengze's face, Mengze murmured: "That... that is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. Once the soul escapes, it may be lost anywhere. , even if you know the method of attracting the soul, it may take ten or twenty years to find it, and you have gone through countless hardships. Where is the easy thing?"
"I know." Mo Xi looked at the rain curtain hanging like a bead curtain in front of the eaves, "Of course it's not easy to find those two souls."
He paused, his voice calm.
"But it's harder to let him go."
"… "
"In the past, everyone thought that my family was poor and destined to never succeed. No one was willing to pay attention to me. When I first entered the military camp, I did everything alone, guarding, investigating, and eating alone. Once I was caught in a pack of demon wolves and stained with poisonous blood. At that time, I felt that no one would take the risk to save me. Because I didn’t have any close friends in Chonghua.”
Mengze was a little embarrassed to hear this. Mo Xi was too young at that time, and she didn't have a deep relationship with him. At this time, listening to him talk about the past, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he just gave a soft hum. .
Mo Xi said, "He came to save me."
"I didn't consider whether I would be implicated, I didn't consider whether I could dispel the demonic energy after I was rescued, and I didn't care about my identity and situation."
"Mengze. It's the same if it's me now. No matter how difficult it is, no matter the result, no matter how long it takes." Mo Xi said, "As long as he is alive for a day, as long as I am alive for a day, I will not back."
"Until any of us die."
The green bamboos swayed gently beside the pale courtyard walls, soaked in the wind and rain, making a moist and desolate rustling sound.
Mo Xi said the last few words: "Or he recovers health."
Mengze looked at the man in front of him. In fact, she has heard a lot of gossip and gossip in the city these days, and as one of the people closest to him, she actually knows the truth better than many people, and she also knows what Gu Mang is to Mo Xi. what exactly means.
But because of this, she felt that Mo Xi was too strong.
He clearly carried a handful of fires that were about to go out in his arms, and it was clear that there was a dark road in front of him, and all he got was the most depressing news, but Mo Xi endured it.
She has been a pharmacist for many years, and she has seen all kinds of people appear cowardly, desperate, withdrawn, and out of control when faced with adversity. For various reasons, I have seen children sadly abandon their seriously ill parents, and husbands cowardly abandon their weak wives... Those people may have been forced into a dead end, so they can only bow their heads.
She is not them, and she has not experienced the suffering of these people in it, so she does not want to judge whether their choices are right or wrong, selfish or cold.
But in the end, after she was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of human beings, she would feel a tremor in her heart because of a certain person's stubbornness that would never yield to fate.
Mo Xi did not complain, did not criticize, did not make any unreasonable troubles or crash out of control.
Even a fool can see that the emotion between his eyebrows is too heavy, and he can see that his fingertips are shaking slightly. But this man lived too soberly and was too cruel to himself. He didn't let his energy down in any unnecessary place, even if venting would make people feel a little more comfortable.
From beginning to end, he dealt with these nightmares that were enough to make his heart shatter countless times with an almost cruel calm to himself.
Meng Ze finally sighed and said, "Spiritual Induction... is a branch of the three major forbidden techniques of rebirth. For medicine practitioners who can master this spell, in addition to being deep enough in their own way, they must also have The opportunity to practice this technique."
"In Yaozong's rumors, most of these people are close to being powerful, their movements are uncertain, and they are almost mythical."
"However..." Mengze paused for a moment, his slender fingers grasped his cuffs, looked up and said with determination, "I once saw a legend on a volume of herbal manuals. To the north of Lin'an City, there is a In the deep forests and mountains, there lives a hermit master who masters the method of rebirth."
As she spoke, she could almost see Mo Xi's dark eyes gathering light.
Meng Ze said: "Soul-inducing technique is the first step in rebirth technique. If the rumors are true, this expert will definitely be able to summon the two remnant souls that Senior Brother Gu is missing... It's just..."
She turned her eyes away and said in a low voice, "It's just that this rumor is only a few strokes, and there is no way to verify whether there is such a major cultivator near Lin'an. If there is, this person is definitely not so easy to find if he disappears in the mountains and forests. Having said that, that person's temperament is uncertain, if he is happy to save people, if he is unhappy, he deliberately harms others, so even if you do find him, you don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing."
But after persuading him to return, Mengze looked at Mo Xi's expression and knew that this person would never give up on this path.
Mengze sighed and said, "Brother Mo, if you really want to go, I can't stop you. The war between Chonghua and Liaoguo has already started, and Brother Lian is seriously injured and sick. So far, life and death are hanging by a thread. I don't know if I can save you. When you come back, if you can really restore Senior Brother Gu to the past, it will also be a great good thing for Chonghua. It's just that this matter is very important... I'm worried that at this juncture, Brother Wang is not willing to let you stay away from the imperial capital."
She paused for a moment and said, "That's it, you go back to the manor first to have a good rest. In order to suppress Senior Brother Gu's demonic energy, you also suffered a lot of injuries. It is up to me to explain and plead with Brother Wang about this matter. ."
After she said that, Chao Mo Xi showed a soft and warm smile, although the faint sadness in her eyes could not be hidden.
"I'm sorry, I'm not the first person who knows the pearls with discernment. When your family changes, I'm not by your side.... Just let me help you this time, if you can save you... the people you care about. Come back." She bowed her head, and her slender, white neck was dangling from thin strands of hair, "Then I'm also very happy."
"Don't worry, let me talk to Brother Wang."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Mengze and Mo Xi explained a few points that should be paid attention to when taking medicine, they called Yueniang, and the two went back with umbrellas. Mo Xi also entered the room to continue to take care of Gu Mang. There were only a few servants standing in the empty courtyard.
Butler Li is also among them.
"Master, why are you frowning? What are you thinking?"
The newly recruited apprentice called Li Wei back from the mind wandering. Li Wei turned his eyes from Zhaobi and cleared his throat: "...It's nothing."
Weird.
He listened to all the conversations between Princess Mengze and his master just now, but he felt uncomfortable no matter how he listened.
Li Wei was once a slave in the palace, and he saw too much concubines and concubines. Although those women were from noble backgrounds, in the final analysis, they were still human beings. People would have feelings, and feelings could not be easily let go.
That's why someone sits alone with an empty tent until dawn, only when someone hears that a beloved concubine who has been deeply loved died of illness and laughs heartily in their own palace, only then will there be calculations, hatred, and jealousy.
There will be so many inseparable.
But Mengze was a girl who surprised Li Wei.
Although she had struggled, was sad, and was unwilling, her struggle, sadness, and unwillingness made Li Wei feel too false, like the lead on the face of a beauty.
A relationship that is so easy to let go is not a relationship, not to mention that she has been waiting for Mo Xi for more than ten years. Or is it that as one of the three gentlemen of Chonghua, her bearing is really different from that of ordinary female family members
Li Wei thought about it, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
