Chapter 13: Crying Under the Moon

Gu Xiaowu only learned three days later that the red-clothed ancestor was going to go out on errands after ten days, and there was a girl living in the courtyard opposite, it was the listless girl who came with the guests that day, Xin ordered him, the old man ordered not to leave the courtyard for half a step, and all the prohibitions in the vicinity were opened, and he had to concentrate on taking herbs to improve his body.

Since the guests left that day, Xin has come to Xiao Wu every day, watching Xiao Wu take a bowl of thick medicine every other hour during the day. Under such strong pressure, Xiao Wu felt that his body was extremely unbearable in expansion and contraction, and he had the urge to escape, but every time he thought of his future, he endured the pain with all his heart, and every night he felt a stinging pain in the skin around him from the pores, so that he didn't dare to lie down and fall asleep, and finally stood and leaned against the wall and fell asleep with his whole body tense.

Nine days were spent in torture, and on the first day when the old man was about to go out, Xin came to see him and told him that he didn't need to take medicine today. After these few days of torture, Xiao Wu's face was full of exhaustion, and as soon as he heard that he didn't need to take medicine, he happily fell asleep on the bed. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that he had slept for nearly a whole day, and no one came to wake him up and bring food, which didn't care, since he started to take the decoction, Xiao Wu felt that he didn't feel hungry if he didn't eat or drink for three or four days. He got out of bed and moved his body, walked outside the house and looked at the bright moon for a moment, and the surroundings were silent and comfortable. Suddenly, there was a faint sobbing sound in my ears, not far from here. He walked to the gate and saw that the gate on the other side was locked, and two servants were sitting on either side of the door dozing. Gently pushed the door open and came out, looked at the two servants who were also dozing in front of his door, and found that he did not wake them up, so he walked to the opposite door, and heard a trace of crying in the opposite courtyard, it should be the girl crying, but I don't know why she is crying so sadly.

He whispered curiously at the door, "Hey, can you hear me?" Why are you crying inside? Is there anything you can do to help?"

The crying in the courtyard opposite stopped, and the sound of footsteps came from the courtyard. A pleasant voice came softly from inside the door, "Who are you?"

"My name is Gu Xiaowu, and I am a registered disciple of Master. Why are you locked up inside?"

"I was arrested from Nanfu Country, I am homesick, can you help me out?"

"You are from Nanfu Country, I have no way to let you out now, wait until I see my senior brother tomorrow and ask him to see if the master can let you out." ”

"Forget it, you must not tell your senior brother and master, they are all insidious people, unreliable, you can't help me, you can only let me out with a token, you better go back." The girl hurriedly refused when she heard that Xiao Wu wanted to ask Xin, and left in a hurry without waiting for Xiao Wu to ask anything more.

Xiao Wu asked a few more softly, and found that no one answered, so he could only leave disappointed. He wanted to know how Nanfu was doing now, and he was very worried about his brothers, not knowing how they were doing now and whether they were safe. When he saw one of the servants looking at him with his eyes open in a daze, he got up and walked towards his courtyard as if nothing had happened.

The night gradually faded, and Xiao Wu did not continue to sleep, but lay on the bed and pondered. The one he got along with the longest since he came here was Senior Brother Xin Ke, but every time he met Xin Ke, he was asking Xiao Wu questions, and Xiao Wu didn't get a word of detailed information. As for his master, not to mention, he only ignored himself after meeting once on the first day, and then there has been no news, if it weren't for the last time he went out of the courtyard and met him receiving guests, and Xin said that he was going out to run errands, Xiao Wu thought that the master had been in retreat. Just now, the girl said that the master and brother are all insidious people, and he doesn't know the master, but he agrees with that Xin very much. Xin left a shadow on him on the night of the first meeting, although he used some reasons to prevaricate the past, but the reasons he gave were too perfunctory, although he didn't see any malice since they got along, but he just commanded him to obey orders, and it was strange to never answer his own questions. Thinking of many contradictions, he could only endure the thought of probing, and he had to bow his head when he was under the roof. Now he doesn't have the ability to protect himself, only when he learns the immortal method and becomes an immortal cultivator, he will find a way to investigate, those snatched children will not be sent back as simply as Xin said, he must find out their whereabouts, I don't know how they are doing now, is it the same as what he once experienced, becoming a mine slave or something?

When it was dawn, Xiao Wu came to the yard early to move his shins, and by the way, he observed the situation in the opposite yard through the crack in the door. The two servants standing on either side of him had been replaced, and they were as mute as the two servants outside his door, and they only obeyed orders, so they probably wouldn't have told him what happened last night. Just when Xiao Wu felt that there was nothing to discover, he saw Xin walking to the opposite side and showing a jade card from his hand, the servant walked away, he took out a key from his waist to open the door and walked in, Xiao Wu also wanted to follow to see, but he still held back. It didn't take long for a loud shout to be heard from the opposite side, accompanied by the sound of ping-pong objects falling down. Xin walked out of it with an angry face, looked at the courtyard door where Xiao Wu was, and was so frightened that Xiao Wu hurriedly flashed to the side, but did not wait for the sound of pushing the door, and then peeked out and saw that there was no trace of Xin Ke. He glanced at the courtyard gate opposite and found that it was locked, so he could only sigh and wait until he became an immortal cultivator before he could find a way to save her.

When I didn't see anyone coming to deliver the decoction at noon, Xiao Wu thought that he might not need to take the decoction in the future, but Xin came to him with a bowl of medicine and asked him to drink it, Gu Xiaowu sighed and took it, and asked a few words if he still wanted to continue taking the medicine as some time ago, but Xin still smiled and did not answer his question, and pointed to the medicine in Xiao Wu's hand and told him to drink it first. Xiao Wu drank the medicine in his hand without resistance, and then began to ask how it would be arranged in the future, whether the master was gone, when he would come back, how was the result of his self-cultivation, and so on, this time Xin answered his questions one by one patiently, the ancestor in red had already gone out, and he didn't know when he would come back, Xiao Wu's preparations were almost there. Xiao Wu was about to continue to ask about the method of opening the acupuncture points by inducing spirits, but he felt dizzy and fainted. Seeing Gu Xiaowu, who had fallen to the ground, Xin smiled slightly and said: "It would be nice if that girl was as easy to deceive as this fool, wait, it's fast, wait for me to advance to the cave building and then make you look good." ”

When Gu Xiaowu woke up from his daze, he found that he was lying in a pitch-black space, surrounded by viscous potion. After choking on two mouthfuls of water, he noticed that there was not much space around him, and he reluctantly moved and sat up, only to find that water was falling from the top of his head. Xiao Wu panicked and tapped his hand around and shouted loudly, but received no response. He looked in the direction of the current, and saw a hole a foot above his head, from which the water flowed, and from which a faint light could shine. Finding that the water around him was no longer up to his chest, he raised his hands to plug the hole to no avail, and after shouting loudly a few times, he found that it became difficult to breathe. He thought back to the scene before he fell unconscious, could it be that the master had just left today, and Senior Brother Xin wanted to harm himself? He didn't want to think about it at all, the potion had reached his neck, and he banged a copper wall, hoping that the other party would have some response, and he would also find a way to escape. Xin has not shown any ill will towards him all along, why did he do this to him this time? Maybe this is also a method of self-cultivation, but it is also necessary to inform him in advance, how can he do such a thing.

Outside, Xin was standing in front of a huge Dan furnace, watching the servant pour bottles of potion into it through a vent on the big ding. Hearing the shouts of the people in Dingzhong, he frowned, he gave Gu Xiaowu the medicine, even if he cut off his limbs, he shouldn't be sober, but now he has woken up, this is a bit troublesome. The most taboo thing about the source supplement pill is the resentment and ferocity contained in the main raw materials, usually you have to keep your heart calm, and you have to keep your emotions stable when you die, now you have to find a way to stabilize him.
