(614), whose dark horse is in the courtyard
- Since she woke up from that endless darkness, Mo Ye's body recovered very quickly, and when she first woke up, her limbs were as weak as cotton balls, and she was able to get out of bed and walk slowly until the next evening. On the other hand, Ruan Luo, although she woke up half a day earlier than her, she often fell into a coma naturally, which was obviously a symptom that the toxins in her body had not been completely eliminated.
Life is not a machine, and it cannot be started again after it has been completely stopped, but as long as there is a breath, there is a chance to regain life, and it is for life to be endless. In fact, Mo Ye's poisoning is far more serious than the other two, but fortunately, he has his own physique that is different from ordinary people, and he is extremely strong enough to block the toxin from attacking the last two heart nerve veins, so that he can save the last breath of life when he is poisoned for two hours.
After she wakes up, she can run on her own and practice the internal strength and heart method with the rhythm of breathing for three years, even if she lies in bed and does not move, she can also mobilize this exercise to urge the energy in the meridians to collide and accelerate the blood speed. It only takes half an hour for this exercise to move for a week, but the effect is roughly equivalent to three hours of long-distance running. Mo Ye had just woken up from a poisoned coma, and his body was not good, and it took him one night, only two days of exercise, and he was covered in poisonous sweat, and even the quilt was drenched.
When Xiaoyu came to wash her face the next morning, she was really shocked to see her as if she had just gotten up from the water. At that time, Mo Yezheng was extremely tired, and she didn't even say much perfunctory words, wiped her hands and face, and when Xiaoyu changed the sheets and mattresses, she lay down and fell asleep.
When Mo Ye slept for a long time and woke up again, it was already sunset outside the house. At this time, although she still felt weakness in her limbs, this weakness was obviously caused by weakness, not the uncontrollable paralysis that she had just woken up yesterday. Mo Ye knew that he was completely free from snake venom at this time.
Mo Ye specially asked Xiaoyu to mix some salt and sugar in the white porridge he brought, chewed it slowly, and although he was not in a hurry, he ate three bowls in a row.
Salt replenishes the body's mass. Sugar can produce blood, although the taste of this porridge is strange. But it can quickly recover some physical energy. She learned this survival knowledge from Wu Shu, she could even drink that extremely bitter decoction for five years, why care about a bowl of sweet and salty white porridge, and she had just returned from the Ghost Gate Pass, she obviously paid more attention to the early recovery of the life body.
It is only when it is normal that we can spare the energy to consider the reasons for the possible existence of this occasional danger. and looking for the strange man in white that day.
In the past two days of bed recuperation, Mo Ye inquired a little, and from the summary of the information that the servants of the Ye Mansion always learned, it was the man in white who helped him to be saved-although his actions that day obviously had the possibility of taking advantage of him.
The man in white did set a fire on the mountain when he left, and the smoke attracted the attention of farmers in a nearby village. In addition to the fire-fighting team organized by the villagers to go up the mountain to fight the fire, there were also villagers who reported to the officials to bring officers and soldiers to put out the fire, and then found three unconscious people on the mountainside.
If it weren't for the fact that they were lying in Asakusa, perhaps by the time the firefighters found them. All I saw was a pile of unidentifiable, charred corpses.
But Mo Ye felt that if the man in white wanted to, he would never mind burning her and her two companions to ashes first. It doesn't matter if the position where she lies is easy to ignite.
Mo Ye knocked on the side and inquired among the servants of the Ye Mansion, and did not find a fourth person on the mountain, only a dozen steps away from where she was lying, there was a pile of ashes on the ground, which was speculated to be the source of the fire. However, Mo Ye knew that it was likely to be a handful of ashes left behind after the corpse of the insect snake girl was burned.
The reason why the insect snake woman appeared on the mountain was to chase and kill the man in white, and the momentum of the confrontation between the two of them. Either you die or I die, and in the end, the man in white was able to set fire to the people and leave, apparently successfully killing the insect snake girl. Mo Ye recalled the words of the previous episode of the insect snake girl, and it seemed that the man with very powerful means fabricated a false identity in the eyes of others, so he was hunted down and killed after his identity was recognized.
If this was the case, he should not hesitate to do the destruction of the corpse all the way to the end, but he pointed out a crack and spared himself and his two companions.
With this thought, it is not that Mo Ye is deceiving himself in good faith and imagining that the strange man is too beautiful, this speculation should be roughly true. Mo Ye remembered that before leaving, the man deliberately left the snake king's gall, threw it into her back basket, and said something like that.
got up and got out of bed, leaned against the wall and slowly walked out of the room that had been lying for almost seven days, standing under the porch at the door, Mo Ye took a deep breath of the outdoor air, looked at a long black snake that had been dried hanging on a clothesline in the courtyard, and once again strengthened the idea in his heart.
But at the same time, she was a little worried.
That day, when she fell to the ground with poisonous hair and couldn't move, she could only pin her hopes for rescue on the strange man. Although he was suspected of using her and using her as a knife, at that time, he was the only one who could fight against the insect and snake girl. In a given environment, the enemy of the enemy can be one's friend.
And now it seems that the suspicions on the strange man at that time are no longer important, because he is indeed as she expected, which is indirectly equivalent to saving her and her companions.
But he has Ye Zhengming on his side as an important reliance on the later detoxification treatment, but what should that person do?
She remembered that after the strange man had successfully killed the Snake Girl, he had become a little unsteady in his tone when he approached her and threw down the beheaded Snake King.
Ruan Luo and Ye Nuonuo were just smoked by the smell of the poisonous snake's broken body, and they were immediately poisoned and unconscious, and the strange man should have jumped into the deep grass to kill the insect snake girl from a long distance, even if his speed was fast and his technique was accurate, it was impossible to completely avoid the snake venom attack, it was likely that although he won, he was already deeply poisoned.
Could it be ...... It is precisely because he knows that he will not escape death that he will show mercy?
……
Although Ruan Kuang didn't say anything to Cen Chi immediately, in fact, there was already a warmth in his heart.
After he was placed under house arrest by Uncle Hongdao in the Yuwang Mansion in the northern country, it was Senior Brother Lin who made the fastest rescue action, and he did his best as soon as he made a move. And after leaving the division, although his little junior brother had nothing to rely on and was extremely distressed, when he cleaned up his mind, not only did he not blame himself, the senior brother who indirectly brought him trouble, but also kept thinking about how to go to the north to save himself. This kind of affection made him not know what to say for a while.
Finally. He just reached out and shook Cen Chi's forearm, and then the two of them walked back to the small temple together.
After a short walk. The green bamboo forest that surrounded the small temple was left behind. A few feet away from the wall of the small temple, there are three rows of cedar trees. These cedar trees have lived for more than ten years, and their straight trunks pierce the sky, which can bring a large area of shade to the small temple in summer, and in the visual landscape. It gives people a quiet and soft feeling of silently guarding this low temple.
Looking at the eaves of the main hall of the small temple that was getting closer and closer to him, Ruan Kuang's face gradually appeared with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Cen Chi felt that the pace of the senior brother beside him slowed down, he turned his face slightly, and saw the hesitation in Ruan Kuang's eyes, he subconsciously slowed down his steps, but he didn't say anything.
Waited quietly for a while, and sure enough, Ruan Kuang's voice came.
"Senior brother. Have you ever thought about it, as the successor of the ion, you have the freedom to choose the country you want to support and serve, and this power can get the support of all the descendants of the Northern Fence. There is no time limit. Ruan Kuang said this, paused hesitantly, and then continued: "So Uncle Hongdao's choice. It's not entirely wrong. ”
Cen Chi did not immediately deny Ruan Kuang's point of view, but instead nodded in agreement and said: "Our senior uncle went to the north more than 20 years ago, although the Zhou country had not fallen at that time, it was already rotten to the extreme, and it was indeed not wrong for him to choose to go to the north at that time." With just one Northern Fence faction, it is impossible to reverse the situation of the collapse of the empire, which is also after the inferiority accumulated by Zhou Huangting himself for hundreds of years has reached a top. It is a natural time to reap the consequences of one's own evil. ”
Despite Cen Chi's words, Ruan Kuang could hear the taste of negativity from his affirmative words. But Ruan Kuang didn't interject, just waiting for Cen Chi to continue.
After the first affirmation, Cen Chi really began to speak negatively, and his tone suddenly became a little cold: "But more than 20 years have passed, and Zhou has gradually improved, is this his master and nephew stronger than him, or as the twenty-first generation ion, he has not fulfilled his responsibilities at all and has done nothing?" ”
Ruan Kuang suddenly opened his mouth at this time: "A person's ability is always limited. As you just said, no sect can reverse the collapse of a country, so it's just one person......"
Without waiting for Ruan Kuang's words to finish, Cen Chi said, "According to common sense, maybe my evaluation of this twenty-first generation ion is too impatient. But now that the facts are in front of us, the problems that have been piled up for hundreds of years within the Northern Royal Court are about to follow in the footsteps of the previous week. Judging from the news sent back by some spies in the Northern Kingdom, the Northern Imperial Court is now fighting for power. Not to mention what he can do if he stays there any longer, I think he will probably become a tool for the Northern Court to fight for power if he doesn't withdraw and come back. ”
"I am still the same sentence, reduced to a tool for self-interest, this is not the will of the Beili family passed down from generation to generation." Cen Chi paused when he said this, and after taking a slow breath, he continued in a slightly calm voice: "Our senior uncle faced such a situation, not only did he not retreat, not only was he willing to embark on this road to become a tool, but also coerced the next generation of ion heirs of Beili to continue to do so, is this not wrong, it is simply ridiculously wrong." ”
Ruan Kuang frowned.
After sighing, Cen Chi quickly said, "I remember that when the Beili line was passed on to the sixteenth generation, the sixteenth generation of ion inheritors had no choice because they couldn't make their own choice. He just wandered in the wilderness, learned from Beili for more than 20 years, and only wrote nine books in his life, and finally sent all these painstaking accumulations back to the sixteen generations of Beili elders. This ion seems to have done nothing, but he has left his own experience, plumped up the wings of the sect, and hopes that the next generation of ions can realize these ideals at the right time, and I admire this ion senior. ”
Ruan Kuang suddenly laughed when he heard this, and said: "It's strange to say, when we were still in the grass house before, you and Senior Brother Lin couldn't be interested in the 'Nine Scrolls of the World', but after many years, the two of you have a high opinion of it. ”
As he spoke, his face became a little heavy again, and he sighed lightly: "A few years ago, Senior Brother Lin went back to the grass house, and he went there specifically for it. It's just a pity that when Senior Brother Lin had just returned the 'Nine Scrolls of the World', before the master could put it back in the study at the bottom of the mountain, the grass house was suddenly hit by a fire. If you want to read it again in the future, you may have to ask Senior Brother Lin for it, and with his habits, it is likely that he has left a copy......"
"Fire?" When Ruan Kuanggang said that the grass house was on fire. Cen Chi suddenly let out a loud cry and lost his voice: "Master is okay?!" ”
Ruan Kuang looked at Cen Chi when he heard this, staring at him. But he didn't say anything.
As soon as the words came out, Cen Chi had already come back to his senses, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he lowered his eyes as if talking to himself: "Naturally, it's fine, otherwise you wouldn't care so much about my attitude towards him in that matter." ”
"You're gone. Then I also left, and soon after, Senior Brother Lin also went down the mountain to follow Wang Chiyuan to the northern Xinjiang, he was worried that it would not be safe for Master to live alone in the mountains, so he left people on the mountain to secretly take care of and protect Master at an early stage. Ruan Kuang talked about this past, and there was a faint sense of melancholy in his words. It seems that he also doesn't like this kind of melancholy and can't do anything to improve it, so when it comes to the latter, he deliberately adds some humor in his subtle consciousness. "So this fire only burned down the grass house, destroyed a few works, and burned all the master's hair and beard."
"If you don't have a beard or hair, isn't that almost like you?"
Listening to Ruan Kuang's words was easy. It seems that the fire really didn't hurt Master, and Cen Chi's mood was much lighter. Thinking back to what Ruan Kuang said, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"It should have grown by now." Seeing Cen Chi laughing. Ruan Kuang himself finally couldn't help laughing. At the end, he smiled playfully, and then he continued seriously: "After Senior Brother Lin rescued Master, he arranged for his old man to live in a secret place, and even I didn't tell him. ”
"I agree with Senior Brother Lin's approach." Cen Chi groaned and said, "Sticking to your own ideas will always offend people. Senior Brother Lin helped Wang Chi and came to this point together, I don't know how many people he has offended. only said that the remnants of the former Zhou were offended. With Uncle Hongdao kidnapping you and coercing Master in the past, he will definitely not watch a similar situation happen again. Since the Great Wilderness Mountain was no longer safe, he simply hid his master and did what he wanted to do with all his heart. ”
"If you want to hide it, he will hide it long ago." Ruan Kuang looked at Cen Chi and said word by word: "If it weren't for that fire that made him resolute, maybe Master would still be living in the Great Wilderness Mountain. He waited there just afraid you wouldn't find your way home. ”
Ruan Kuang's last sentence made Cen Chi stunned. After a moment of silence, his eyes couldn't help but become hot and wet, and he suddenly didn't dare to look at Ruan Kuang's calm gaze. He slowly lowered his eyes, like a child who had made a mistake in hiding from his family and felt guilty in his heart.
"Now I can get a rough idea of what you mean. For Master, you are gradually learning to forgive. I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown a lot, as a disciple of Beili, you have left the master for more than ten years, but the initial idea in your heart is still persistent, presumably the master is also happy to see this. And the most important one is that no matter whether you will become the twenty-second generation of North Fence in the future, the one you choose must be Zhaoguo. Ruan Kuang's face became more and more stern, and his tone gradually rose to a sense of rebuke, and after a slight pause in his words, he emphasized his tone and said, "That being the case, why haven't you been in contact with Senior Brother Lin?" ”
Without waiting for Cen Chi, who was full of hesitation, to speak, Xixin paused and then said, "Don't tell me, you don't know how to find him." He's been looking for you all these years, and you've probably met his men who have sent you to find you, but he still doesn't know where you are, why? I don't want to believe that you're running away from him, he's the last person you should be suspicious of, why are you doing that? ”
"When I first left the division, I didn't believe anyone, so naturally I didn't see anyone." Cen Chi buried his head even lower, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "I lived in this temple intermittently for almost a year last year, didn't Senior Brother write to him to mention it?" ”
"I'm waiting for you to see him yourself!" Ruan Kuang flicked his sleeves and said, "I don't know your attitude, I'm afraid that it will provoke your bad temper, and you will disappear in a blink of an eye." ”
"Actually, I'm just preparing to see Senior Brother Lin this year, and it's also thanks to you that you have been talking to me about the Buddhist scriptures for a year, which has made me think through some things, but I'm still a step slower." Cen Chi sighed, and finally condensed and said: "In short, this Qingchuan walk, I must have something to gain, find someone or undertake something, and I will get one of them." ”
"I'll do my best to help you." Ruan Kuang raised his palm and gently placed it on Cen Chi's shoulder, smiled slightly and said, "I would rather do this than talk to you about Buddhist scriptures." ”
The expression on Cen Chi's face softened, and he said, "I see that you often look very dedicated, is it all pretending?" ”
Ruan Kuang shook his head and didn't answer this question directly, but just said casually: "You and Senior Brother Lin, whoever inherits the ion quickly, our generation of Beili disciples, together with the master, will be easy." ”
After he finished speaking, the hand that was gently resting on Cen Chi's shoulder sank down and tightened tightly, and he jumped up with Cen Chi, drifted through the outer courtyard of the small temple, and slid down against the eaves.
With Ruan Kuang's guidance, his figure suddenly rose and fell rapidly, which made Cen Chi, who had no martial arts foundation, shake his heart, but he still clearly remembered what Ruan Kuang had just said, and his mind did not stop thinking. After the soles of his feet fell to the ground, he immediately said, "Uncle Hongdao won't stop so easily. ”
Ruan Kuang shook his head again, but he didn't say anything more. Cen Chi then realized that since returning to this temple, Ruan Kuang had transformed into the heart of the stream. A touch suddenly appeared in his heart: it seems that not only does he not like to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the senior brother may not be willing to return to this temple, but the senior brother has a more calm emotional power than himself.
Whoever has been under house arrest for a few years by the forces of the Northern Kingdom Yu Wangfu, if he has not gone crazy, then he must have honed a strong strength in his heart. In addition to being related to that experience, the formation of the senior brother Ruan Kuang's mental nature may also be related to the rendering of Buddhist scriptures.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, and before he could take a step, Cen Chi saw a shadow of the corner intersection on the opposite side, and a monk walked over slowly. Seeing that this plain-clothed monk was not in a hurry when he came, he should just be passing by, but Cen Chi remembered another thing, and subconsciously looked sideways to the side.
There was nothing around him, and the figure in the heart of the stream was gone.
Cen Chi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
If the monk who came from the opposite side saw the master of the small temple standing here with him, the terrible thing was that both of them were a little disheveled and covered in mud, and they didn't know what the monk was going to feel in his heart. Fortunately, Xi Xin should have expected these in advance, with his martial arts cultivation, he could hear the message that someone was approaching one step earlier than himself, so he responded as soon as possible and left one step faster.
After the young plain-clothed monk approached, he immediately shouted at Cen Chi with his palms together, and Cen Chi hurriedly responded according to the courtesy.
Just when he thought that the two of them would pass by so calmly, he slowly let go of his palm, and the young monk who was hanging his hand at his side suddenly had a trace of waves in his eyes when he looked at Cen Chi at eye level. At this time, Cen Chi also recognized that this monk was the one he had met in the vegetable garden a few hours ago.
"Things are man-made, and fate is determined by heaven." For his explanation, Cen Chi was deeply impressed.
Because the other party's words did not seem to be spoken by a monk, although Cen Chi didn't know what his Dharma name was, he already had a deep impression of him.
Seeing the change in the monk's mood, Cen Chi secretly wondered: It is estimated that he has seen the messiness of his clothes. Holding back the thought of reaching out to touch his harness if it was still there, Cen Chi felt slightly embarrassed in his heart, and he didn't think of how to explain it for a while.
But then, he didn't expect the young monk to say nothing, and the wave in his eyes just now also disappeared with him hanging his head.
Under the surprised and superficially calm gaze in Cen Chi's heart, the young monk slowly turned to leave. Cen Chi seemed to be able to feel that he sighed the moment he turned around, but this not-so-clear feeling was somewhat like his own illusion.
After a slight hesitation, Cen Chi still decided to see his senior brother again before leaving. I don't know how long it will take me to come back this time, and the separation just now is really a bit hasty.
When he came to Xixin's meditation room again, he saw that his senior brother seemed to be a high-ranking monk.
But that's just what you see. After some conversation just now, Cen Chi has already made it completely clear that he, a fellow senior brother who has been in the Buddhist hall for more than ten years, really hasn't changed much. In this contrast between the appearance and the inside, Cen Chi suddenly wanted to make fun of the senior brother's pretense.
