Chapter 46: The Lantern Festival

That's right, the ice Gu also exists in Mu Ling's body, and looking at Mu Ling's appearance, it is obvious that she also knows that if she releases the Gu breath like that, it will also cause the ice Gu attack in her body, but she didn't expect that in order to complete the refining of the Gu poison, she would fight like that, she is really a Gu addict.

Heng Yi couldn't care about anything at the moment, so he picked Mu Ling up tightly and let her lean into his arms - Mu Ling would not refuse recklessly at this time, and the two had already had a certain trust and tacit understanding in the bamboo house earlier. In addition, at this moment, she had just completed refining, and her physical strength was seriously overdrawn, and she was already weak, and the attack of the Ice Gu made her even worse, and it was extremely difficult.

"Are you crazy? In order to refine Gu poison, do you want to die?! Looking at Mu Ling's little face condensed with a thin layer of ice, Heng Yi was heartbroken and a little angry.

"It's okay, for a while... It's over......" Mu Ling said indifferently, having said that, but when she was at the bottom of the North Valley of the Medicine King before, Mu Ling had medicine to relieve the pain, but now she can only endure it.

"However, the refining has finally succeeded." With that, she had a faint smile on her face, and it was hard to imagine that she could still laugh in such a situation.

"Still laughing? Hey, girl, tell me honestly, how sure are you about the success of refining? Heng asked with a frown.

"It's less than fifty percent......" Mu Ling still said in a relaxed tone. Hearing this, Heng was speechless for a while.

In fact, the reason why this so-called fierce Gu is called a waste Gu by the world is because the ferocity it contains is extremely difficult to tame, and ordinary means cannot be refined at all, and if it is forcibly refined, there will even be a danger of going mad. And Mu Ling was able to refine purely by relying on the peculiar attributes of Gu Guang, but even so, the possibility of failure was quite large, after all, it was produced by a fifth-order Gu beast, and it was fierce and abnormal, no matter how powerful Mu Ling's methods were, his own cultivation was there, and the refining process would inevitably be more difficult.

"I'm asking you..."Heng seemed to suddenly remember something, "Don't you have something in your body called 'Gu Emperor'?" According to what you said before, this thing should be the nemesis of all Gu poison things, why did you just risk the ice Gu attack and manipulate the Gu breath refining instead of sacrificing the 'Gu Emperor' in your body? ”

"Please, that thing is certainly powerful, but my father has blessed it with several seals before leaving, just for fear that its power will backlash and make me lose control of it, and under the several seals, the power of the Gu Emperor has been greatly weakened, besides, every time I use that guy, there is a risk of backlash... It's much more terrifying than this Ice Gu, not to mention that it was only used not long ago......" Mu Ling stopped her voice as she spoke. Heng looked down, only to see that she had fallen asleep tiredly.

Mu Ling's slender body curled up in a ball at this moment, shrinking into Heng's arms, as if she was trying her best to absorb the warmth of Heng's body, she was enduring unimaginable pain for ordinary people. Heng can only export his fire power to resist the strange cold power, but in doing so, not only will the Qi power be swallowed up by the ice Gu like a mud cow entering the sea, but it will not have much effect at all, and the thick frost will soon cover the two of them.

Hengyi looked down at Mu Ling in his arms, only to see her eyes lowered, and her originally fair and clear skin was attached to a layer of light blue frost, with a texture of ice, charming and moving. At this moment, Mu Ling is like a peerless jade sealed in the ice for thousands of years, and the beauty of her alluring city is eternally frozen in the ice - Heng Yi is even a little afraid that Mu Ling will fall asleep forever like this and never wake up again.

Heng Yi just wanted to share as much pain as possible for her, although this kind of ice Gu would not be fatally dangerous, it was extremely hurtful, and every attack would be very torturous to people's spirit and will. Thinking that Mu Ling was so desperate to flee with him, and would continue to endure this great pain with himself in the future, Heng Yi blamed himself in his heart.

She paid so much to be by her side, and what did she do for her?

Holding Mu Ling, who was sleeping in the extreme cold, Heng Yi had already made up his mind that he must find a way to remove the Gu poison as soon as possible to eliminate the worries of the future......

......

For the next few days, the Heng and his descendants did not go anywhere else, and stayed in this inn all the time. Every night, Heng will accompany Mu Ling to visit the Gu poison black market, which has become a routine. However, Heng Yi has a heart - when he goes out, he doesn't forget to let Mu Ling cover his face with a white veil, although he is still a child, so he is too cautious, but it is good to be careful.

Tonight is no exception, Heng Yi is waiting for Mu Ling to tie her veil, and he will go out with her. When Mu Ling turned around again, only a pair of eyes above the veil were revealed on one face, and no emotion could be seen from those autumn-like eyes, and Heng Yi knew that even if she lifted her veil, she would definitely be expressionless.

Although Mu Ling didn't show anything on the surface, Heng Yi knew that this guy should be looking forward to tonight, and they didn't go to the Gu poison black market tonight.

Today is the local Lantern Festival.

Mu Ling, who has been confined in the deep valley since she was a child, naturally has never had a festival, so this kind of thing is relatively new to her.

The streets are brightly lit, and the front of the shops is full of various lanterns, and it seems that there are many people enjoying the lanterns tonight. Men, women and children all walked out of their homes to the streets to celebrate the festival together, and the streets and alleys were full of a strong festive atmosphere, even if the Heng and Heng were not locals, they were deeply affected by this festive atmosphere, especially Mu Ling.

The two followed the crowd to a street near the water, and looked away, only to see lanterns floating in the entire lake.

Those lotus-shaped small lamps, with a faint candlelight in the middle, drifted all the way to the downstream of the lake with the water flow, a breeze blows, the candle flame trembles lightly, and the flames stretch and tilt in the middle of the river like small flowers, which is very dynamic and vibrant, and it is very beautiful.

There was a group of children on the shore who were happily putting lanterns into the lake, Mu Ling looked at the fun, looked back and said to Hengyi: "That's very fun, let's play too." ”

It is rare to see Mu Ling interested in one thing, and Heng Yi naturally will not spoil her interest: "Okay... There should be something for sale over there, I'll come when I go, wait for me here. ”

"Hmm."

After getting Mu Ling's response, Hengyi turned his head and merged into the flow of people again.

Mu Ling listened to the laughter, and couldn't help but approach the shore of the lake, sat down slowly, and looked down to enjoy the soft night reflected in the water, so as to kill time and wait for Heng Yi to come back.

Mu Ling's fingers caressed the surface of the water, the lake water flowed through her fingers with a warm and cool comfort, a gust of night wind blew, the water surface rippled, breaking the reflection in the water, Mu Ling was a little stunned for a while, the wind blew across her face, and her veil was lifted away, Mu Ling came back to her senses, watching the white yarn drift towards the center of the lake in the night breeze, Mu Ling frowned slightly.

Suddenly, a small boat floated on the lake, small but full of remarkable luxury, and the inside and outside were brightly lit. A young man in brocade clothes stood on the bow of the boat with a folding fan in his hand, at this time the white yarn was falling at his feet impartially, the young man glanced at the corner of his eye, and the next moment he leaned over to pick up the white yarn, the young man sniffed his nose, and the thin veil exuded a faint cold medicinal fragrance, which was intoxicating. But I don't know whose young lady fell, and the young man became interested for a while.

The young man held the veil lightly in his palm, looked around, and his eyes quickly fell to the shore, at this time Mu Ling had stood up, standing in a pavilion, in the hazy night, through the lights, Mu Ling was like a lily that bloomed at the beginning, fresh and moving, such a wonderful scene, even the moonlight on the edge of the sky lost its bright color.

The young man standing at the bow of the boat couldn't help but lose his mind, and when he reacted, the boat was approaching the shore, and the young man hurriedly dressed up.

"Girl, dare you ask if this is yours?" The boy asked proudly. He has always been arrogant and flamboyant, and he is pretending like this today for the sake of the people in front of him.

"Give it to me." Mu Ling only had the veil in his hand in his eyes, and he didn't look at him. The teenager is not willing to be left out in the cold, and of course he will not return the veil easily. The next moment, the young man was quite proud and proudly reported to himself: "Down here is Yan Jiang, the son of the city lord Yan Wang here, but I don't know the girl's name?" "It turns out that this Yan Jiang is the son of King Yan, don't look at the young age, but only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he is famous for his absurdity and greed in the local area, but because of his father, most people dare not speak out. And Yan Jiang sees such a strange beauty now, he will not let go of the opportunity, and now he just wants to show the other party's name first - judging by his clothes, he must be a famous and surnamed lady from a big family, even if he is separated today, as long as he knows his name, why worry about not finding someone in the house in the future.

After revealing his identity, Yan Jiang deliberately observed Mu Ling's expression, but Mu Ling's face still did not change, and just repeated: "Give it to me." Yan Jiang didn't understand why he had identified himself, and the other party's attitude had not changed. I had to invite instead: "I happened to meet the girl here today, it is fate, such a festive night, I wonder if the girl can enjoy her face and enjoy the night view of the lanterns on the boat?" ”

Mu Ling was still indifferent, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously a little annoyed in her heart, Yan Jiang observed her words, and saw that she cared about her veil, so she said: "If the girl is willing to get on the boat, she will return the veil." Yan Jiang already seemed a bit of a scoundrel when he said this.

Mu Ling is not deep in the world, as soon as she heard this, she didn't doubt anything else, her eyes looked at Yan Jiang for the first time, and her eyes were cold. Yan Jiang looked at the beautiful eyes flowing in the autumn water, and it went straight to his heart. Yan Jiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, waiting for the other party to make a move.

But seeing Mu Ling pause slightly, the next moment he moved lightly, and wanted to step on the boat, when Yan Jiang was overjoyed when he saw this, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind Mu Ling and grabbed her slender wrist steadily.

"Hey, where are you going? I told you to stay here and wait for me to come back......" A familiar voice from Mu Ling came from behind.
