Chapter 214: The Secret of Gu
Following the route in his memory, Han Wei soon walked to Duo'er's home, which is also Tian Rui's home, the two have been living together since their parents died when they were young, and they are dependent on each other. The door was not closed, and Han Wei walked straight in, without the idea of saying hello.
When I entered the house, I saw that the lights in Duo'er's room were on, and the faint light could see through the glass window, and I could see a figure, which must be Tian Rui. Han Wei thought that it was Duo'er's room, and the anger in his heart was suppressed slightly, and he didn't break the door, but just gently pushed the door.
Tian Rui was sitting on the bed, leaning against the wall behind her, her expression looked very lonely, and when Han Wei came in for a while before she came back to her senses, her expression changed suddenly, turning into an indifferent and rejecting appearance. Before Han Wei could speak, he had already snorted coldly: "Can't wait to leave?" Very well, I'll send you away now. ”
From Tian Rui's words, you can hear the irony, do you think that Han Wei wants to leave immediately? The more this is the case, the stronger the doubts in Han Wei's heart become, because after opening the wooden coffin, Duo'er's body was not found at all, there are only two possibilities, either Duo'er is not dead, or she was deceived by Tian Rui, and it is not Duo'er's grave at all. Judging from Tian Rui's expression just now, the relationship between their sisters should be very deep, isn't Duo'er dead yet? Thinking of this, Han Wei's body couldn't stop trembling, and a trace of expectation rose in his heart, which made him extremely nervous.
"Duo'er......" Han Wei paused for a moment, plucked up his courage, and continued: "Aren't you dead?" ”
Tian Rui was obviously stunned and confused, such an expression instantly crushed Han Wei's hope, he stared at Tian Rui tightly, if it was a disguise, he would definitely be able to catch the subtle changes, but her expression was very real, indicating that Duo'er was really dead. If Duo'er is already dead, why is there only a mound of clothes? Can't you just look at it? The anger in Han Wei's heart surged up again, and he couldn't help clenching his fists, and he could see the green tendons bursting up.
"I want to see Do'er and tell me where Do'er is." Han Wei held back his anger when he spoke, and his attitude was very clear, this was not asking for advice.
"Didn't I take you there? What more do you want? has killed my sister, do you still want her to be at peace after death? Tian Rui undisguised his disgust, as if Han Wei was the world's number one negative man, as soon as the words fell, he walked to the door, as if he wanted Han Wei to leave immediately, not wanting to delay for a minute or a second.
When Han Wei walked by Tian Rui, he suddenly grabbed her left hand, and a cold cold came, which was definitely not a normal person's body temperature, and the words that were originally questioned came to his mouth and swallowed. This cold Han Wei is very familiar with, he has encountered it in the ancestral hall, and it has been controlled to the point that he can barely walk, if it were not for the white jade ring to resist, I am afraid that it would have become an ice cube long ago. I have always suspected that something was wrong with Tian Rui, and now it has been verified, but the body temperature is so low, why is the person still normal?
When his left hand was caught, Tian Rui's face changed drastically, and he shook his hand violently, trying to break free of Han Wei's shackles, but his strength was too small and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what. Tian Rui hurriedly shouted: "Let go, let go!" Later, there was already a hint of pleading, as if he was worried about something.
As Tian Rui struggled, the chill became stronger and stronger, Han Wei hurriedly urged the white jade ring, but never let go, a warm current flowed towards Tian Rui's body, with the warm current, the chill of Tian Rui's body was even stronger, and she herself kept trembling, and after a while, her body withered, and then she was paralyzed, if she hadn't been pulled, she would have fallen to the ground. Han Wei hurriedly helped Tian Rui to the bed and let go of his hand.
There was no warm current, Tian Rui quickly recovered, his painful and distorted face had returned to normal, he just looked at Han Wei's eyes, with horror, and said, "You...... Who the hell are you? ”
"I've dug up Do'er's grave and didn't see the body, tell me what happened." Han Wei didn't answer Tian Rui's words, he asked again, he wanted to find the answer, there was a feeling, a strong feeling, and it was deeply related to himself.
"You ......" Tian Rui's face was full of disbelief, he never thought that Han Wei would be crazy enough to dig a grave, this is a great disrespect to the deceased, is this still a mistake? I'm afraid that only enemies of life and death can do it.
"Is it an ancestral hall? Is it the pillar? Han Wei asked, while looking at Tian Rui's expression, when she heard the ancestral hall, her face changed slightly, and when she heard the pillar, her face changed even more, after all, she was still a girl who was not in the world, she didn't need her to speak, Han Wei had already asked what she wanted to be sure of.
Han Wei regretted in his heart, he should have thought that Duo'er should be in the ancestral hall, to be precise, in that pillar, the invisible and deep call, and the determination of the Gu Moth to put out the fire, if it wasn't for the existence of the master Duo'er, how could he become crazy? Only I laughed that I thought it was influenced by something weird, and I kept telling myself not to meddle in things, but now that I think about it, it's really a joke.
Why is Duo'er buried in the pillar of the ancestral hall? The Miao people do not have this custom, and besides, the ancestral hall is the most important place for a clan, how can it be used as a burial ground? Even if it's buried there, why don't you say it? What are you trying to hide, what are your secrets? Han Wei looked at Tian Rui, wanting to get her explanation, Tian Rui's current status must have something to do with this matter. Han Wei will never allow Duo'er to be wronged after death, if this is the case, even if he dies, he will try to take Duo'er away.
Silence, or silence, Tian Rui's tears flowed, the pain and grief were by no means false, but she was unwilling to speak. Tian Rui suddenly hugged a tripod placed at the head of the bed, Han Wei also knew, it was a tripod of Gu refining, when he saw a big one and a small one, this one should be Duo'er's.
"Didn't you say that I went to the ancestral hall by myself, and I would never show mercy again." Han Wei didn't persecute Tian Rui after all, looking at Tian Rui, there will always be Duo'er's shadow, especially when he sees Ding, he seems to see Duo'er by his side, how can he bully her sister in front of Duo'er? At least until things are figured out, they won't make a move on Tian Rui.
"Don't go, don't go......"
When Han Wei was about to step out of the door, Tian Rui suddenly spoke, and the words back and forth were even more desolate. Han Wei didn't comfort him, he just stood at the door and waited silently, waiting for Tian Rui to tell the truth, if he didn't say it, he would rather break into the ancestral hall alone and kill him with a river of blood.
Silence, silence, but this time, it only lasted for more than ten seconds, and finally Tian Rui still spoke.
At the beginning, in order to help Han Wei, Duo'er forcibly controlled Gu, and was subjected to a powerful backlash, if it was a normal situation, this situation would not have occurred at all, because Gu had completely merged with Duo'er, how could there be a backlash? As long as Gu is not injured, Duo'er will be safe and sound. It's just that before helping Han Wei, Duo'er was refining Gu for Tian Rui, consuming a lot of hard work and being in a weak state. Duo'er's weakness represents the weakness of Gu, so forcible control will be counterattacked. Duo'er's idea at that time was very simple, she wanted to prove Han Wei's innocence, she wanted to repay him, knowing that he was just passing by in a hurry, and this was the only chance to repay him. It's just that she didn't expect that the anti-devouring power was so strong that it would take her life.
There is one thing that Han Wei never knew, Duo'er was the last person in Miao Village who could refine Gu. Not everyone can refine Gu, there are high requirements for physique and talent, Gu art has changed with time and environment, and now, only Duo'er is left. In order not to let the Gu technique be lost, Duo'er used her essence blood to refine it for Tian Rui, so that she could keep the bloodline of the Gu technique. If he hadn't been interrupted by the vulture's men when the Gu refining was about to succeed that night, Tian Rui's Gu had already been successfully refined, it was just an accident, as if it was destined by heaven, Tian Rui was still one step behind after all.
With the death of Duo'er, the death of the last Gu refiner of the Miao clan, it is a sign that Gu art is about to disappear in the long river of history, becoming a story, maybe one day, becoming a question in people's hearts, all of this is a fictional story. Why is it about to be, it is because there is still Tian Rui, Tian Rui's Gu is a Duo'er essence blood refining, and only the last step is left to fuse with Tian Rui, and he will become the next Gu refiner, and the Gu technique will continue to be preserved.
However, Duo'er is dead, where is the essence and blood? The people in the clan looked through the records in the clan and found the only way, to nourish it with Duo'er's flesh and blood, there is a certain chance that Tian Rui's Gu will survive, and when it grows up, it will not die again. So Duo'er's body was brought into the ancestral hall, and the pillar that Han Wei saw was actually not a pillar, but a tree, the Gu tree, which was the only place where Gu was produced. Originally, the branches of the Gu tree were luxuriant, but unfortunately, with the passage of time, all the branches and leaves disappeared, leaving only a lonely trunk.
The center of the trunk has long been empty, but after all, it is not an ordinary existence, anything that is put in it can maintain its original appearance, as if time inside is stagnant, so when Duo'er's corpse is put in, there is no need to worry about decay, and if the Gu refining time is longer, there is no need to worry.
The progress of Gu refining was not smooth, Tian Rui was very resistant to using her sister's body, and refused without hesitation, but the patriarch found her, they lost their parents since childhood, and it was the clan that raised them, gave them the best things in the clan, and enjoyed the highest status in the clan, correspondingly, they had the responsibility to take on the supreme interests of the whole clan, that is, to let the miracles passed down from generation to generation continue, for this, even if the clansmen all died, they did not hesitate.
In the end, Tian Rui still agreed, but even so, the Gu refining has not been successful for a year, it should be the entanglement in the heart, when it is within reach, the difference between heaven and earth is the difference between heaven and earth. But tonight, the refining Gu suddenly changed, and Tian Rui had a strong feeling, as if the chrysalis was about to break out of the cocoon, so all the clansmen stayed in the ancestral hall, waiting for the moment of the Holy Spirit and the miracle. The nervousness in the hearts of the clansmen was self-evident, so they didn't find out about Han Wei's arrival.
However, now it seems that Gu's sudden success has a deep connection with Han Wei's arrival, perhaps Duo'er sensed Han Wei's arrival, even if he died, he still reacted, touching the changes in essence and blood, thus triggering Gu's mutations. Everything is just speculation, but there has been no change, when Han Wei arrived, there was a possibility of qualitative change, is it really just a coincidence?
