After Jiuhuang pestered Wen Zipei for a while, he climbed into bed and continued to sleep.

Wen Zipei leaned against the wall, his face flickering under the flickering of the candle flame. He looked at the sleeping man on the bed, his face was pale and quiet, and the ink under his eyes was like an abyss, terrifyingly deep.

I picked up a piece of jade dew cake and threw it into my mouth, the light fragrance filled my mouth, I narrowed my eyes and said vaguely: "Childe, you say, this person can't be the 'Ah Pei' that Jiuhuang is thinking about, right?"

Before he could answer, I said again: "But it's impossible, they just met in Pingshui, even if they form a temporary alliance or something, after Jiuhuang goes out, the two will still part ways." It stands to reason that Jiuhuang shouldn't have such a deep obsession. ”

Childe leaned over, reached out and took a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth, squinted his eyes like me, and said, "How do you know that they will go their separate ways instead of being together after they go out?" ”

I pursed my lips, feeling that he seemed to look down on me, so I said angrily, "Then tell me, how can we look at things more deeply?"

Childe looked at me, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "If you say this, it won't be fun, and you have to figure it out by yourself." ”

I snorted softly: "What excuse to make, if you can't say it, you can't say it!"

Childe smiled and shook his head: "You just can't say it." After that, he looked at me, "When I went out just now, I accidentally learned a secret, do you want to know?"

Being so troubled by Jiuhuang and them, I couldn't sleep at all, and when I heard Gongzi say this, I was very interested in looking at him: "What secret?"

"Do you know what the holy maiden of Southern Xinjiang is?" Childe looked at me and smiled meaningfully.

I looked at him inexplicably: "Isn't the holy girl of Southern Xinjiang the Nine Phoenix?" At the end, I added, "Listen to Xiao Er in the restaurant, she can raise the most powerful Gu in the world." ”

Childe squinted and nodded: "That's true, but do you know where she raised Gu?"

I was stunned, held my chin and thought for a moment, then shook my head: "I don't know." ”

"You are honest. Gongzi smiled, but his expression was a little serious, "Do you know that other people use containers such as clay pots and porcelain jars to raise Gu, but the saints of the past dynasties in Southern Xinjiang used their bodies as containers to raise Gu. ”

"Huh?" I was startled.

According to Childe's previous statement, the process of raising Gu is to put poisonous insects together and let them kill each other, and the last one who survives will become the Gu King. But if you use your body to raise Gu...... I shuddered, and hurriedly stopped myself from thinking about it anymore. It's horrible.

Thinking like this, I heard Gongzi say slowly: "The saint of Southern Xinjiang only raises one kind of Gu in this life, but there is no shortage of people who study other Gu techniques by themselves, among them, Jiuhuang's mother is an obvious example. ”

I remembered that Jiuhuang would mention her mother almost every time she said a word, and I couldn't help asking, "Is Jiuhuang's mother also a saint in southern Xinjiang?"

"Naturally. Childe nodded.

"And where is she now?" I asked.

Childe's tone didn't fluctuate: "Of course it's dead." He paused and continued, "It is impossible for there to be two saints in the southern Xinjiang generation, and when a new saint is born, the old saint will naturally die. ”

I sighed, "It's pitiful, but why can you only live one, isn't it nice to have both?"

Childe looked at me and smiled: "I just said that the saint of Southern Xinjiang only raises one kind of Gu in her life, do you know what the name of this Gu is?"

I looked at him and shook my head.

Childe stretched out his hand and knocked on the beam, and the corners of his mouth hooked an arc that wanted to be bent or not: "This kind of Gu is called Life and Death Gu." ”

I threw another piece of jade dew cake into my mouth, and said as I ate it, "Life and death Gu, is it a Gu that can make or break people's life and death?" I paused, and before he could answer, I said, "Impossible, it's just a Gu worm, how can you have such great ability?"

Childe looked at my eating appearance, his eyes deepened, he naturally reached out and wiped the crumbs from the corner of my mouth, and seemed to be in a good mood: "Ordinary Gu worms naturally can't have that much ability, but life and death Gu are different." After speaking, he paused and looked at me, "If you want to talk about it any further, it will involve the secret news of the southern Xinjiang royal family." ”

I was so frightened by Gongzi's actions that I didn't dare to move for a long time, and when I heard him say this, I just asked sneeringly: "What secret?"

But Childe didn't answer immediately, and looked at me and raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth pulled out an arc that seemed to be a smile: "Do you want to hear it?"

I held the gyokuro cake and nodded subconsciously.

His gaze fell on my face and he smiled wickedly at me: "Why should I tell you?"

I lowered my head and stuffed another piece of jade dew cake into my mouth, feeling the sweet taste spread in my mouth, and then I said slowly, "Childe, are you kidding me?" I paused, and then said, "Or are you bored and want to have some fun?"

I swallowed what was in my mouth and raised my eyes, there was no life in the huge shrine, the candles on the golden silk lamp flickered, Jiuhuang was still sleeping soundly, and Wen Zipei was also leaning against the wall and gradually falling asleep.

"Childe, I found out that I don't know you at all, when I was in the heavenly court before, I heard others say how gentle and polite you are, but I have been with you for a while, and I don't feel how gentle and polite you are to people. ”

I thought about it, and said: "Actually, I think you are quite pitiful, after all, the person you like died on the battlefield of the fairy and demon war, I haven't liked anyone, so I don't know what it's like to have a sweetheart gone, but looking at Song Linyuan and Su Yue, I vaguely understood a little, I think it should be very painful, you can't stand it and I can bear it if you have occasional convulsions." ”

But this is not a reason, we can't always live in memories, people have to look forward, right? There are a lot of things in this world that are worth trying, and if we always stay where we are...... "I paused," it was miserable. ”

I wiped my mouth, patted the crumbs on my body again, put away the rest of the gyokuro cake properly, and then found a place a little away from Childe to sleep. I looked up and saw my son sitting on the beams of the room, covered in shadows. I couldn't make out his look, but I knew he was looking at me.

"Childe, you should be quiet, occasional convulsions are good for physical and mental health, but frequent convulsions are not good. I thought about it for a while, and kindly reminded, "If you really can't overcome it, you can go back to Heavenly Court and go to Si Yao Immortal Jun to have a look, he should have a way." ”

Childe looked at me for a long time, and then laughed softly: "Why are you so serious about teasing you?"

I looked at him and blinked, "Hehe" smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Childe, then you tell me, what are the secrets of the Southern Xinjiang Palace?"

Childe looked at my suddenly changed face and was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized, and praised in an unclear tone: "Little ballad, your acting skills are really good." ”

"Accept and accept!" I smiled smugly, and silently added in my heart: If you don't do this, how can I fight you.

The corners of Childe's mouth pulled out a good-looking arc: "If you really want to know so, it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”
