Yu Cihe only recuperated in the Nanyang Palace, and then insisted on leaving the capital with Mu Zhixi and a few others, and returned to Mocheng in Lujiang County. Although there are countless people who dissuade him, no one can resist Yu Cihe's bullish temper. Moreover, Yu Tzu-hyuk actually left a very perfect reason for his departure - to stay away from the land of right and wrong as soon as possible. Yu Cihe's words were right, and everyone was powerless to refute them, so they had to rely on her. It's just that on the journey, Mu Jinggong put a little more effort into it, in order to stabilize Yu Cihe's wounds, she had to follow her closely every day, for fear that something would go wrong with her. Although Mu Jinggong was cautious and cautious along the way, Yu Cihe's current physical condition is just like what Leng Mian Guzun said before, "The body will slowly deteriorate, and the injury will not heal easily, and it will even worsen." "Yu Tzu Hyuk is like this, not to mention that the injury this time is so serious. Finally, after everyone arrived in Lujiang County, Yu Cihe's illness was completely worse than before. In the past, she could open her eyes and joke with others, but now she is weak and has a hard time saying a word. Only about two or three hours of the day were awake, and the rest of the day she was in a deep nightmare, unable to wake up no matter how much she was called. There was no urgency in this matter, Mu Jinggong still treated her injuries every day as usual, but with little effect. A few days later, several people went to see Yu Cihyuk together, and then got together to discuss Yu Cihyuk's situation.

"What's going on?" Xuan Zhuyi asked Mu Jinggong, "In a situation like her now, it is not a way for her condition to worsen day by day. Why don't we go elsewhere? Maybe we'll be able to cure her? ”

Mu Jinggong shook his head helplessly and said, "It's useless, I've already seen it." I can heal her outward wounds, but I can't heal her inside. ”

Mu Zhixi: "Jing Gong? What are you talking about...... What is the meaning? ”

Mu Jinggong spread his hands and said: "What I mean is that Yu Cihe's superficial injuries can be healed, but she has a special body, and the superficial healing does not mean that she is really healed." In other words, it was not caused by these diseases at all, but that there were no factors in her body that could be cured. In other words, she was in a nightmare when she was unconscious, and we couldn't wake her up. And the fact that she couldn't wake up wasn't because something was trapping her, it was just because she didn't want to wake up. ”

"Don't want to wake up?" Ouyang Ruolin asked, "Why would she be reluctant to wake up?" ”

"Actually, I can't say that, I mean that Yu Tzu-hyuk's body is really special. She was able to absorb all the pain, all the injuries and illnesses into her body, and piled them up, which naturally led to new problems over time. What I have to do now is to prescribe the right medicine, little by little, including some old diseases in her body. ”

Mo Cheng: "Then can't Miss Yu be like a normal person during this time?" ”

Mu Jinggong: "I can't say, I said that her body is very special, since she can absorb injuries, she will naturally digest injuries sometimes." It's just that when exactly to digest it, it depends on her body to decide, and I have no right to interfere. ”

Shang Ling suddenly asked, "Then it's all up to her?" ”

Mu Jinggong thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the current situation, let's just say the same. ”

"That's it." Shang Ling sighed and said, "It's all because of herself that she's hurt so badly now." If she had consulted with us, perhaps things would not have turned out like this. All of this she did was a gamble. She was betting on her name. But anyway, fortunately, she bet right, everyone is safe now, which is the best ending. ”

Mu Zhixi": I think she didn't tell us because she didn't have time. Because we only learned about Princess Su'an on the last day. On the other hand, I also think that she is afraid of injuring us. ”

Shang Ling: "In the end, don't you want us to save it?" ”

Mu Zhixi: "You all said that Yu Tzu-hyuk was not calm in what she did this time, and she forgot everything, but I think that if we go to save her, maybe she expected it, and this may be part of her plan." ”

Mu Jinggong: "But what we heard from Mo Cheng was random!" How could she calculate the time we would hear the news? If you miss it, it's really a loss of life. ”

Mu Zhixi smiled and said, "So she's gambling!" She's betting on the time we'll hear the news. I have to say that this plan is very bold, but it is also a good plan. As Yu Tzu Hyuk once said, success or failure is man-made. If you win the bet, you will be happy, and if you lose the bet, you will leave your name for eternity, and you will not lose money. ”

Xuan Zhuyi: "It's been a long time, but Senior Sister Zhixi has learned these casual concepts very quickly. Mu Zhixi shrugged and smiled.

Feng Xunyi asked Xuan Zhuyi: "Master Xuan, now that the phoenix blood jade has fallen into Xiao Yuhuan's hands, are you really fine?" Feng Xunyi's words brought everyone present back into contemplation, and Feng Xueyu's hand-to-hand concession was obviously unfavorable to Xuan Zhuyi and the others. There is no bargaining chip in his hand that can compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Xiao Yuhuan, and if there is a dispute in the future, there will be no bargaining power, and it will be "meat on the chopping board, let others slaughter".

Xuan Zhuyi opened his mouth, but he didn't speak. When he wanted to speak again, Ouyang Ruolin, who had left everyone to see Yu Cihe on the way to the discussion, suddenly ran out very excitedly and shouted to everyone: "Yu Cihe is awake!" Everyone flocked to Yu Ci Hyuk to watch her, and at this time, Yu Ci Hyuk opened his eyes, his eyes were blank, and he stared directly above him as if he had been sucked away from his yang energy, and his eyes did not blink.

"Yu Tzu-hyuk?" Mu Jinggong symbolically pushed her, and the direction of Yu Cihyuk's eyes slowly shifted to Mu Jinggong, "How are you feeling now?" ”

"Sleepy." It was extremely difficult for this word to come out of Yu Tzu-hyuk's mouth, and Mu Jinggong needed to get close to hear it clearly.

Mu Jinggong asked cautiously, "If you are sleepy, then you will sleep for a while?" ”

"How many days?" Yu Tzu Hyuk asked again, "What day is today?" ”

Mu Zhixi: "You have been delirious for more than a month, and today you are full." ”

"Xiao Man...... There's a lot of rain~"

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhixi said with concern, "Xiaoman...... What's wrong? ”

"In a little while, it's the Midyear Festival."

"Midyear?" Everyone was confused, and they couldn't understand what this had to do with the Midyear Festival.

Immediately afterward, Yu Tzu Hyuk said, "It's time to prepare." ”

"What?" Mu Jinggong leaned in to listen again, but Yu Cihe closed his eyes and fell into a nightmare again.

Mu Jinggong was puzzled: "What did Yu Tzu He just say? ”

Mu Zhixi: "She said that the Midyear Festival is coming, and it's time to prepare." ”

—— —— ——

The mid-year festival is also known as the seventh and a half months in the folk, and its production can be traced back to the worship of the ancestral spirits in ancient times and the related time sacrifices. In the Book of Changes, "seven" is a changing number, the number of resurrection. July is the auspicious month, the month of filial piety, and the half of July is the festival of the folk early autumn to celebrate the harvest and reward the earth, and many crops are ripe. As a rule, the people will worship their ancestors, make offerings such as new rice, and report the autumn harvest to their ancestors. "July and a half" was originally a folk ancestor worship festival in ancient times, and it was called "Zhongyuan Festival", which originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty. Taoism has a "three-element theory", "the heavenly official Shangyuan blesses, the local official Zhongyuan forgives sins, and the water official Xia Yuan relieves misfortune, and the name of "Zhongyuan" comes from this.

Gods and ancestors were both revered and feared. Ethereal may be ghosts in people's minds, and ghosts are also feared by people. It can be said that every child grew up listening to various ghost stories told by the old man: on the day of the Midyear Festival, the Yin Cao Difu opened the door to release ghosts, and all the ghosts and ghosts could be active in the sun for one to several days under the escort of the ghosts, similar to the release of wind in prisons, and only once a year the ghost door was opened. So at night, you have to close the door, and if there is a disobedient child who runs out at night, you will be gouged out by the skeleton ghost mother, and so on. When the child heard the story and was afraid of being arrested, he was immediately frightened and silent, and the wind was loud, listening to the wind outside, and seeing everything felt like a ghost. Since then, the seed of fear of ghosts and gods has been planted in my heart. On the night from the first to the fifteenth day of the seventh month, at the corner intersection of the alley, if you see someone burning paper money from a distance, you must avoid it from afar.

In Taoism, the Taoist priest Kou Qianzhi fabricated the myth of the Three Yuan Festival, there is a person named Chen Ziqi, married the three princesses of the Dragon King, and gave birth to three brothers, the heavenly official, the earth official, and the water official on the fifteenth day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and the fifteenth day of October. The Midyear Festival is the day of forgiveness of sins by local officials, and Taoist priests chant scriptures and perform rituals on this day, and use three animals and five fruits to purify the lonely souls and wild ghosts of the ten directions. There is also the Buddhist festival of Obon. It is said that Shakyamuni had a disciple named Mulian, although his mother was young and beautiful, but she had no good words and deeds, loved money and was stingy, especially hated monks, and was beaten into the ranks of evil ghosts after her death. According to the instructions of the Buddha, on the 15th day of the seventh month, he prepared a hundred flavors and five fruits, various utensils, put them into a pot, and offered them to the monks of the ten directions, so that his mother could get out of the evil ghost world and ascend to heaven. In view of this, the Buddha asked Buddhist disciples to practice filial piety with all their hearts, and on July 15 every year, they became Obon, giving to Buddha and monks, and repaying their parents' kindness.

As the saying goes, people are yang, and ghosts are yin; The road is yang, and the water is yin. Now I feel that on July 15, life and death are boundless. The streets are bustling and lively, full of charm, lonely ghosts, the world is fluttering, and there are few looking back at life. The sacrifice of Zhongyuan, the white waves are surging. The time to return home is far away, the ghosts and ghosts, the world is going around, and the dreamer is smiling.
