Chapter 129: A Quest for Reality
"Hey...... Wake up. ”
"Neon, neon! Wake up! ”
"Wake up! Neon! ”
…… Vaguely as if I felt like someone was calling me, my body was shaken again and again, making it difficult for me to be pure, and gradually, I began to feel different, and I began to regain consciousness, but, "Hey? What's wrong with me......"
I looked around, the cave was still the same cave, but I fell to the ground, and Yuan Jue was by my side.
Looks like he just woke me up. But how could I pass out? Could it be that all those words I said to Phoenix were after I passed out? Is it in my dreams? Is that true or am I dreaming?
"You're scared the hell out of me." Yuan Jue suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong?" I rubbed my head and sat up, my head hurting like it was about to crack.
"I thought I was going back by myself." Yuan Jue complained.
"Then go back by yourself, you don't remember the way." I kept reminiscing and recalling, trying to find something from the conversation with Phoenix that I could use to distinguish the real from the fake, but I had just fallen unconscious, and if she couldn't get into this dream, maybe she could enter my dream, and maybe I could hear her words.
However, she actually asked me to kill Biluo and get out of here quickly.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Jue noticed that I was abnormal, put away the complaints, and carefully helped me up. "Look at how weird you just now, are you okay?"
"It's fine." I shook my head, "How did you notice I passed out?" ”
Yuan Jue thought about it for a while before answering me, "I've been waiting for you outside for a long time. Then I didn't feel at ease, so I called you a few times. As a result, you didn't move at all, I was worried that something happened to you and I came in, but I didn't expect you to pass out on the ground. Wow, do you know that you were unconscious on the ground as if you were dead, no matter how you were called, you didn't respond, and even your breathing was very weak. Do you know, I was thinking at the time, if you really died. I will definitely ask my mother to revive you. ”
I laughed at him for being childish. But when he turned his face, he seemed to notice something again, "What did you say?" What do you mean by begging your mother to revive me? ”
"Shhhhhh Yuan Jue motioned for me to whisper. Said mysteriously.
I nodded dumbfoundedly.
"My mother is not mortal." Yuan Jue suddenly lowered his voice and leaned over. Said very carefully. "I saw it with my own eyes. My mother cast a spell to save my father, and Yun Chu was also there at that time. She's a lot like the way you saved the mad woman that day, but. She wasn't as simple as unlocking the door. My father was lying on the bed coughing and coughing and was about to die, and my mother relieved my father after a few kisses. ”
His mother, that is, Mrs. Qimo.
Lady Qimo knows spells?! How is it possible, although I didn't have much contact with her before, but I never felt like she was a spell person in those few interactions. By the way, the shrine maiden of Yibe?! Mrs. Qimo is also from Yibu.
Jialan said that she had received the training because of the shrine maidens of Yibe, and she could transform into a human form. That day, she had an argument with Yun Chu, and Yun Chu also said that Jialan was asking to see Mrs. Qimo. Why did Jialan know Mrs. Qimo? She is a mountain elf, and Mrs. Qimo is the lady of the deep palace, and the only thing the two of them have in common is the Yibu witch.
"Then, if your mother knows how to spell, will you too?" I asked tentatively.
Yuan Jue shook his head, "I only knew that my mother knew how to spell by peeking, and she never taught me how I could." Later, she noticed it and warned me not to tell anyone, if I hadn't seen you faint today, I might have forgotten about it. ”
However, it stands to reason that the Ibe shrine maidens have not been passed down from generation to generation? Yuan Jue should also know some.
"It's getting dark, so we'll have to spend the night here today." Yuan Jue didn't notice what was wrong with me at this moment, he only cared about the situation outside, he began to prepare the things he needed to spend the night here, picked up some branches and lit a fire in the cave.
I can't help but think of the time when Yuan Jue accidentally broke into Shaoshan Mountain, I asked him to stay in the cave, and he was the same, smiling.
"Laughing at what?" Although he didn't face me directly, and his hands were busy all the time, he noticed that I was laughing, and although the voice was pretending to be strict, it was not so cold.
"No, where do I laugh."
He wouldn't let me interfere, and I did all the work alone, and I just watched silently, "Don't you really need my help?" ”
"You just passed out, who knows what's wrong with you, maybe you're too tired from traveling for days. You'd better have a good rest, and we'll be ready to go down the mountain at dawn tomorrow. There is still a long way to go back to Mucheng, so that you don't pass out again. Yuan Jue'an finished saying this quietly, glanced back at me, and continued to light the fire. But ......"
"What?" I don't know if I didn't hear or if he said something.
Yuan Jue had his back to me, and I sat on the grass pile near the cave wall, he lowered his head as if swallowing saliva before he said slowly, "Let's do this...... Sort of, lonely men and widows are in the same room. ”
It turned out that he was just shy, I snickered, thinking that he was only in his teens now, pretending to be precocious, but in fact he was not just a little boy. I deliberately teased him, "It seems to be hey." ”
"Don't worry." He straightened his back and sat still, and I heard him clear his throat and pretend to be calm, "I, I will, I will marry you." ”
I couldn't hold back any longer and finally laughed.
"Are you so happy?" He just turned his head sideways and glanced at me hurriedly, and then immediately turned his head away, as if he was afraid of making eye contact with me, but he obviously misunderstood, and there was no lack of laughter in his voice, "I said I would marry you, so happy." ”
"Yes, I'm glad." ”
With that, I lay down, a little tired. I want to take a good break.
"When I got back, I ...... I'll take you to my mother's ...... Then, tell her about us......" He sat there alone, and continued to talk silently, and then when it came to his mother, he paused deliberately, as if he was worried about something, but continued to speak. "Don't worry, although my mother is the eldest lady in the palace, she is very nice and kind, she will not embarrass you, even if it is ...... Even if she, huh...... You don't have to worry, I said I would marry you. ”
I lay there, already dazed and trying to fall asleep, getting tired and tired. Consciousness also drifted farther and farther away. I seemed to hear what he said, and instinctively responded, "Well, okay." ”
"After going back. Let me take you to the palace. Look at where I live. The royal palace may be bigger than you think. You must have thought. The place where Won Hyuk lives is very big, but let me tell you, the palace is better than where Won Hyuk lives. It's a hundred times bigger than a thousand times, how about it, isn't it a surprise?" Yuan Jue became more and more excited, as if he was really happy, and said endlessly, "There are still many locked places in the palace, and there are still many forbidden places that are not allowed to enter. If you were in the palace, you wouldn't ...... It won't get boring, there's a lot of fun there...... We can ......."
Yuan Jue said, turned his head, but suddenly stopped, saw that the person in front of him had fallen asleep, smiled awkwardly, and sighed a little disappointed. "Hey......"
"You've been together for the past few days?"
Yuan Jue and I spent nearly five days going back and forth, and after returning to Mucheng, we went to Yuan He's Mansion first. Because we were too wolf on the way, I didn't expect that when we stood in front of Wonhyuk, he was stunned for a while.
"Is there anything unusual in the palace?" Yuan Jue didn't pay attention to him at all, and sat on the side by himself.
"Mrs. Qimo sent Yun Chu to ask me where you went. I told her that you seem to be doing something to stay with me once in a while. Yuan He said, put on the posture of the eldest brother, and said with a straight face, "Then can you sue me, where did you go?" ”
"Leave that alone." Yuan Jue got up, but said to me who was standing on the side and watching, "Then I'll go back to the palace first, and I'll come to you in the evening." ”
Yuan Jue didn't care about what Yuan He thought, and went out alone.
"Your younger brother, when can you change his temper?" I really can't stand Yuan Jue's arrogant temper, he left me and Yuan He stunned and embarrassed when he went out, so I had to play a round for him.
"He is the youngest son of his father's favorite, and I am afraid that this temper that has been used to is not so easy to change. I hope he hasn't given you any trouble these days. Yuan He didn't ask where we went, but he seemed to protect Yuan Jue and said.
In fact, if he asked, I could think of many reasons to lie to him, but he didn't ask, which made me feel uneasy. "Aren't you curious, where have I been with Yuan Jue these days?"
"On the day that lady in the back garden became ill, you asked me about a master surnamed Gong. Although I don't know if I have a distant uncle surnamed Gong, it is not difficult to guess that he may be able to save his wife's illness, and you have left suddenly without any news, probably to look for him. Yuan He is thoughtful, and compared with Yuan Jue, he is more calm, as if he has a sense of detachment, and a mundane thing has nothing to do with him.
"Originally, when you didn't ask me, I thought of using this as an excuse to answer you. But since you said it, I don't need to hide something from you," I also sat down, deceiving Yuan Hyuk would make me feel ashamed, "Actually, it's about the same, I did go to find a way to save that woman, but not to find the palace master, since you don't even know where he is, how do I know where to find him." And I thought of another person, I thought that if I found her, I would have a way to save the woman, but unfortunately, ......"
"Miss Neon means, it seems, that you haven't found the person you're looking for, right?" Yuan Hyuk was indifferent and didn't mind.
I could only acquiesce, "I thought there was a way to save that poor woman, but who knew that now I was in trouble again." ”
"That lady's illness, you seem to have some different opinions from the imperial doctor." Won Hyuk was vaguely aware.
"She's not just sick, there's definitely a thrill, but I think she's under a spell." Strange to say, I always feel like someone is secretly taking me around in circles, but I can't find the truth.
"Oh." Yuan Hyuk sighed, he didn't seem to doubt the truth of what I said, and when he raised his head again, he just said, "Then according to the meaning of Miss Niyin, maybe that palace master should have a way to save Madame." You don't need to worry, I will ask my subordinates to try to find the person you said, although I can't guarantee that I will find it, I believe it will be easier than the strength of you and the second brother. ”
He actually said he wanted to help me. "Why?"
The reason why he helped us several times, even if I was allowed to stay overnight with that crazy woman, was because Yuan Jue asked him to help. But he offered to help me find Gong Hui, for what. Doesn't he like to be involved in things that have nothing to do with him?
"Perhaps, I think I should do it." Unexpectedly, he smiled faintly and answered even more confusingly.
When Yuan Jue came, it was already late at night. I was waiting for him at the back door of Yuan He's mansion, and Yuan Jue didn't stop, so he took me straight back to the palace. Taking advantage of the shift of the guards, and no one dared to scrutinize his carriage, we easily slipped into the palace.
"Any plans?" I asked him.
We hurried into the palace, but now we didn't even have a plan. Although I am suspicious of Mrs. Qimo, it is not good to come out in front of Yuan Jue, not to mention now, how can I find out whether Mrs. Qimo is the witch of the Yibu.
"Here." The carriage stopped on the side, Yuan Jue took me out of the car, hid behind the carriage, looked around, and then Yuan Jue stretched out his hand and motioned for me to go to the side of the path with him.
I whispered along.
After walking for a while, avoiding the guards who had been patrolling several times, we slipped to an extremely remote palace, and Yuan Jue led me skillfully through one side of the low wall. But before he could get close to the side hall, he heard a voice coming from inside.
“…… Let it go! A sudden sound came from the temple.
Yuan Jue and I glanced at each other, and when I understood the situation, I whispered to the side and hid.
"If you keep going like this, you'll ruin yourself!" From the voice inside, it is not difficult to hear that it is Yun Chu.
Obviously, Yuan Jue also heard it.
"Why are you helping them?" This is the voice of Mrs. Qimo! "Yun Chu, you have changed. You weren't like that before, you used to listen only to me, why are you like this now! ”
"Madam, Yun Chu doesn't want to see you go wrong any longer." Yun Chu begged, "Stop, it's still too late." ”
"I don't want to! This palace has ruined me, ruined you, ruined our lives, I just want to get back this qiē unfairness, Yun Chu, I just don't want to continue to look at the people who hurt us, and live well! They deserve to be punished! "Mrs. Qimo has lost her mind.
"You're hurting others, and you're hurting yourself. Is it worth it? Let it go, now that you are alive and well, I am still alive, we are not separated, we are already the greatest luck, why bother with anything else. As long as they don't provoke us again, what's wrong with us continuing to live like this! Yun Chu still didn't give up, she always persuaded Mrs. Qimo to give up something and stop something.
But what is that, what is Mrs. Qimo going to do, it will cause such a big reaction from Yun Chu to persuade her to stop.
"Cloud Beginning...... Why is that? Mrs. Qimo cried loudly.
I turned my head sideways and noticed that Yuan Jue was secretly clenching his fists, and his lowered eyelids hid a qiē love in it, presumably hearing that his mother was in such pain, he was also suffering in his heart. (To be continued.) )
