Chapter 737: The Wronged Bailichen
Jun Wuchen looked at the rockery unwillingly, but when he heard that Murong Xi wanted to go back, he nodded and followed them out of the palace. Murong Xi asked Jun Wuchen to go back to the post house first, and before entering the palace tomorrow, they would go to the post house to meet and enter the palace with Jun Wuchen.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, after Murong Xi and Feng Mingye returned to Luohuaxuan, they asked Feng Mingye Bar Bailichen to dig out of the bed.
Bai Lichen looked at the unscrupulous couple with a complaining face, and his resentful little eyes looked as aggrieved as a little daughter-in-law.
"I haven't been back for days, and I'll wake me up as soon as I come back, what do you want to do?" Bai Lichen rubbed his eyes and said aggrievedly.
Murong Xi sneered and laughed, and she said, "Bai Lichen, I don't know if I thought you were complaining that Ah Ye hadn't come home to accompany you for several days, I thought you were his daughter-in-law." ”
Bai Lichen just took a sip of tea, and when Murong Xi said this, it all squirted out. After Ji Limo heard this, although the expression on his face did not change, there was a smile in his eyes.
"Ahem, you girl." Bai Lichen pointed at Murong Xi and his face turned red.
Murong Xi glanced at Bai Lichen, and then said, "I have something important to discuss with you, so I'm coming back from the palace." ”
"What happened?" When Bai Lichen heard that something was happening, he hurriedly sat down and waited for Murong Xi to speak.
"The Emperor of Northern Xinjiang has been deceived." Murong Xi said very seriously.
"Zhong Gu? Is he really like the Great Elder, he fell into the Yin Yang Gu. Bai Lichen asked.
"No, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang is not a Yin Yang Gu, but an Eclipse Gu." Murong Xi shook his head and denied Bai Lichen's words.
"Eclipse Gu?" Bai Lichen said in surprise.
"Hmm." Murong Xi responded.
"Could it be that the person who is beside the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang is really an elder? Why was he so ruthless that he actually gave the Northern Xinjiang Emperor an eclipse Gu? Bai Lichen's face was a little pale, as if he knew that the person who fell into the Eclipse Gu would be very terrifying.
Feng Mingye didn't know what kind of Gu poison the Eclipse Gu was, but it sounded a bit like the Bone Eclipse Worm that Murong Xi had said before, he didn't ask, but he knew that this time it seemed to be very tricky.
Ji Limo opened his mouth and asked at this time: "I think things are a little interesting, the old fox in Northern Xinjiang is so good at calculating people, I didn't expect to be calculated by this elder." ”
"You must have been deceived by Elder Zheng, the situation of the person who fell into the Eclipse Gu is very similar to the person who is in the Yin Yang Gu. At the beginning, his spirit was getting better and better, and his face was ruddy, and his internal strength suddenly improved. It's just that you can't be contaminated with women. Murong Xi said with a frown.
"No wonder he hasn't gone to the harem to rest for five or six years." Feng Mingye thought of this and said.
"Of course, it felt really good at the beginning, like being reborn, and the body felt like it was thirty or forty years younger. However, just like a few years ago, when the Gu worm is cultivated, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang will die very miserably. Murong Xi continued.
Feng Mingye asked curiously, "Could it be worse than Yunlan?" ”
Murong Xi sneered and said to Feng Mingye: "After the Gu worm is cultivated in the body, it will devour the master's brain, and the body will decay quickly, and the Gu worm will start to eat carrion for a living. The most unbearable thing is that the bone-eating Gu worms will paralyze people's nerves. When the time comes, the person who is in the Gu will watch as the flesh on his body is eaten by the Gu worms, leaving only the skeleton. Moreover, because of the Gu worm, the person who was in the Gu couldn't die. You can only wait until the Gu worm eats the brain, and finally eats the human eyeballs before you lose your breath. ”
Bai Lichen took another sip of tea, then covered his mouth, and said disgustedly: "Girl, don't say it, I'm going to vomit." ”
Bai Lichen listened to Murong Xi say it in such detail, and he almost vomited, but fortunately, he took a sip of tea and pressed it.
Feng Mingye frowned slightly, and then said, "Why would Elder Zheng turn around and harm the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang?" ”
In fact, even Murong Xi felt that there was a problem, the Great Elder and the Elder Zheng had always been in contact with the Northern Xinjiang Emperor's subordinates, but he definitely knew that his master was the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Family. As the Northern Frontier Emperor seized the throne step by step, Elder Zheng would definitely think that the person who traded with them in the first place was the Northern Frontier Emperor.
Since Elder Zheng appeared in Northern Xinjiang, there must be something unsightly with the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. However, how could he assassinate the emperor of Northern Xinjiang? Didn't he stay in the north for the money? What good did the death of the Northern Xinjiang Emperor do him, Murong Xi was full of questions about it.
Ji Limo sneered and said, "That Elder Zheng's ambition is not small. ”
Murong Xi looked at Ji Limo in confusion, and after listening to the meaning of Ji Limo's words, the previous elder seemed to have an ulterior secret. However, how could Ji Limo know?
"Girl, I know that you know a lot about Gu poison, and there is no Gu you don't understand. However, do you know what the Gu worms do after eating the carrion? Ji Limo said with a mysterious smile.
Murong Xi knew that Elder Zheng had placed a Gu on the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang in order to raise Gu, but the Gu worms raised by the Eclipse Gu were very vicious. Who does Elder Zheng want to harm with this kind of Gu worm? How much hatred does he have for this person to use this kind of Gu insect to harm people?
"What else can he do but want to hurt people?" Murong Xi said.
"It seems that you haven't read all the books of Fengtian Sect, so if you knew it, you would have let you go to the library a few more times." Ji Limo said.
"Could it be that the Eclipse Gu has some other purpose?" Murong Xi asked curiously.
"When I didn't see the notes, I thought the same as you. However, I was also amazed at what was written in the notebook. Come to think of it, by that time, it would have been lost a long time ago. Ji Limo said.
"What exactly is written in the journal?" Murong Xi's eyes lit up and he asked.
Ji Limo knew that as soon as Murong Xi heard this, he would immediately humbly ask for advice. So, he smiled slightly and said, "Actually, when I read the records in the notebook, I didn't take it seriously. Because, I think it's too absurd. Today, however, I realized that it was far more serious than I had imagined. ”
It turned out that after being eroded by the Gu Eclipse, those insect eggs slowly cultivated. And when the Gu worm is raised, it is the time when the Gu worm dies. And after these Gu worms are collected by the Gu people, some of them will be crushed, dried, and ground into powder. And these people who know how to refine Gu know this.
The notes contain little-known secrets, and legend has it that Gu worms and witchcraft can achieve immortality. Ji Limo suspected that Elder Zheng didn't know where to know this secret, and he didn't know how to coax the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang to be so obedient, and he actually swallowed the Gu worm himself. It is believed that until his death, the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang did not know that it was Elder Zheng who wanted to harm him.
Bai Lichen had never heard of the Gu worm that could be combined with witchcraft, so he interjected very curiously and asked, "Can the Gu worm still be connected to witchcraft?" ”
Bai Lichen had long heard Feng Mingye say that this guy in front of him was Wu Zun of the Fengtian Sect, but when he heard what he said to Murong Xi just now, he still didn't understand it. However, what he was more curious about now was how this Gu Worm was linked to witchcraft.
Ji Limo glanced at Bai Lichen, and then continued: "Yes, it is a notebook about forbidden arts. Everything about the Elder is also speculation. So, we can't be sure if the person wearing the mask is an elder or not. However, I know that this person must be fighting this idea. Ji Limo said slowly.
Murong Xi frowned, she didn't have a clue now, because she didn't know what kind of conspiracy that person had. Moreover, although he was not sure who this person was, he knew that he must be from the Medicine King Valley.
"Ji Limo, what should we do? Could it be that this masked man really wants to live forever? Murong Xi asked puzzled.
Feng Mingye interjected at this time: "Xi'er, I think I know what he wants to do. He came to the northern frontier and poisoned the emperor. Once he really found a way to live forever, the first thing he wanted should be the Northern Frontier Country. ”
Murong Xi gasped, if this person really thought so, then this person was not only scheming but also very calm. Ji Limo mentioned that the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang had not entered the harem since five years ago. That is, that person has been planning since five or six years ago.
It turned out that he not only wanted immortality, but also wanted to get the Northern Frontier Kingdom. However, will those princes and princes in northern Xinjiang agree?
"Looks like it's time for us to plan well." Murong Xi said slowly.
"Xi'er, do you want to unravel the Northern Xinjiang Emperor?" When he was in the palace, Ji Limo heard Murong Xi say that he wanted to go back immediately and discuss with Bai Lichen, and he knew Murong Xi's thoughts.
"When I saw out what Gu the Northern Xinjiang Emperor had been in, I thought about refining the antidote as soon as possible. Of course, I didn't want to unravel the Northern Xinjiang Emperor. It's just that if we are not prepared and go to refine it after falling into this kind of Gu poison, I'm afraid it will be too late. Murong Xi said slightly.
"Well, I didn't expect your brain to spin so fast. Then, the antidote to these few eclipse Gu will be handed over to you and Bailichen. I'll go into the palace again and think about how to crack the mechanism behind the rockery, but I want to see what is hidden in the dark room. Ji Limo said with a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, it's been hard tonight, let's rest first." Murong Xi said.
Because Feng Mingye and Murong Xi hadn't had a good rest for several days, they returned to Luohuaxuan to bathe and change clothes first, and then rested early.
Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Bai Lichen got up and packed up and waited for Murong Xi in the courtyard. Sure enough, Feng Mingye and Murong Xi didn't sleep lazy, and got up early.
"You woke up early, huh?" Bai Lichen asked.
"Before the sun comes out, we have to go up the mountain to collect medicine. If you don't know, how can you get up so early? Murong Xi said.
A few of them got into the carriage and soon came to Shangyuan Mountain in northern Xinjiang, where there were many herbs, so they set off for the mountain early in the morning.
Soon they reached the foot of the mountain, and after the carriage had come to the foot of the mountain, several people went straight up the mountain. Halfway up the mountainside, Bai Lichen and Murong Xi plus Rushi and Ruhua were in charge of collecting medicine together, Feng Mingye followed behind them with a bamboo basket for Murong Xi, and the person who followed them also carried a bamboo basket on his body. It seems that they need a lot of medicinal herbs.
"Miss, there are so many medicinal herbs here." Rushi said with a smile while putting medicinal herbs in the bamboo basket.
"Well, the medicinal herbs on Shangyuan Mountain are very rich." Murong Xi lowered his head and said.
