Chapter 37: Blood for Blood
The night was peaceful. Early the next morning, after Qin Susu and the others came out of the inn, they saw Ye Qing outside the inn. Looking at the tiredness on his face, it seems that he has stayed outside all night and never left. Qin Susu laughed a little, this Ye Qing was still so stupid!
That's right, Ye Qing did lean directly under the eaves outside the inn for the night. When Qin Susu came out and saw him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "You've been staying here all night?"
Ye Qing stepped forward, and when he saw Qin Susu, he laughed and scratched his head, "There is no other place to stay around here, and it is not a loss to stay under this roof for free." And the night was very cool. ”
Qin Susu was speechless, but he continued to hear Ye Qing say, "Did you two sisters and brothers rest well last night?" ”
Brother and sister? The smile in Qin Susu's eyes deepened, "Thanks to my son, I rested very well last night." Saying that, Qin Susu looked at Qin Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, it's not too early this day, let's go directly." As he spoke, he nodded at Ye Qing, "We're still on the road, so we won't stay long." ”
Qin Xiaobao laughed, "Okay, mother, let's go now, I guess we can get there in the morning." ”
Ye Qing nodded, but only after waiting for them to leave did he react. Wait a minute...... The two people just now, are mother and son, not sister and brother? At the bottom of my heart, there is an inexplicable sourness, but I don't know where this sourness comes from. Before, he could have left completely without staying outside all night, but, subconsciously, he didn't want to leave...... Realizing his thoughts, Ye Qing was a little dumbfounded, and then shook his head, Ye Qing left all his unknown emotions behind.
"Mother, do you know that person just now?" After they walked away, Qin Xiaobao asked Qin Susu suspiciously, and his mother seemed to have always been unsmiling, but she showed other emotions to the person. Qin Susu just smiled indifferently, "It's nothing." Squinting slightly, he remembered some things that had been in the Prince's Mansion.
At that time, he believed her unconditionally, even though she was a stranger to him.
At that time, when she was slandered, he actually stood up without thinking about the consequences, even if later, he was besieged by two other people.
Thinking about it, the corners of Qin Susu's mouth were slightly hooked unconsciously. In fact, being believed in is a very beautiful thing. Thinking of this, but thinking of a hundred miles of vicissitudes, she stretched out her hand, covered her heart slightly, and frowned.
It turns out that here, it will still hurt......
"Mother, let's go." Qin Xiaobao saw her strange appearance, and stepped forward to hold her hand directly. The corners of Qin Susu's lips hooked slightly, and then left directly.
Sure enough, in just half a day, the two arrived at Luanshan.
"Old man...... We're back! As soon as he entered Luan Mountain, Qin Xiaobao couldn't help but shout. After a while, a burst of angry shouts sounded in the valley, and they were getting closer and closer to Qin Xiaobao and them.
"Stinky boy, why are you still so rude?" The old man of Tianji roared in mid-air as he approached. But when he was close to Qin Xiaobao, he changed his words, "Did you find anything good outside to honor your master?" ”
Qin Xiaobao rolled his eyes at him violently, this old man is still so greedy for money! "Old man, what money do you want? Or do you want us? If we're not welcome, hmph, we'll go. As he spoke, he picked up Qin Susu and made a gesture to leave.
Where is the old man of Tianji? Hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him. "You're finally back, stinky boy, and you want to leave so easily?"
For a moment, big eyes stared at small eyes. Qin Susu looked at this scene, shook his head lightly, and then looked at the old man Tianji, a few hints of dark light flashed in his eyes. "Master, I'm back." On the other hand, the two on the side, Qin Susu at this time seemed particularly calm, or rather, Qin Susu at this time seemed to be a little depressed. The purpose of coming back to Qin Susu this time was to figure out some things, so as to make a choice.
"Hehe, it's good to be back." The old man of Tianji was no longer opposite to Qin Xiaobao, and said to Qin Susu.
"Master, Su Su has something I want to talk to you about." After pondering for a moment, Qin Susu still spoke.
The old man's eyes flickered slightly, grinned, and chuckled, "Hehe, okay." ”
Qin Susu first followed the old man of Tianji, and Qin Xiaobao knew that Qin Susu had something to say to the old man of Tianji, so he did not continue to follow.
Following the old man of Tianji to an open place, a wind rose and blew Qin Susu's blue hair. At this moment, the old man of Tianji has put on a dignified face, not at all like Fang Cai's giggling.
"Master, I guess, you should know what I'm going to say." Qin Susu lowered his eyelids lightly and spoke. The old man of Tianji himself is unfathomable, he knows a lot of things, very miscellaneous, from medical poison to the gossip of the five elements, almost all of them are involved.
"Ah, I just came back, don't you want to talk to my teacher about family life and relax?" The old man asked in surprise.
Where is Qin Susu in the mood to joke with the old man Tianji? He just raised his head and looked straight at the old man of Tianji, "You must know what happened to me." Master, you asked me to help him ascend to the throne, and I did it, now, can it be over......
"Now you still need to help him." But without waiting for Qin Susu to finish speaking, the old man Tianji directly interrupted her.
"Why?" A few traces of doubt crossed Qin Susu's eyes.
The old man of Tianji looked a little moved, and the uninhibited expression on his face gradually dissipated, he just sighed, and then looked at Qin Susu, and there seemed to be a hint of apology in his eyes, "Susu, as a teacher, I can only find you to do this matter at present, he, I must help." ”
"But do you know what he's done?" Qin Susu took a deep breath and asked. She really didn't know why the old man of Tianji had to ask her to help him. She owes the old man Tianji a favor, she can't refuse, she has promised him, if she wants her to do anything in the future, she will definitely agree.
"What did he do?" The old man of Tianji turned around and asked with a smile, "You know, he is too docile and easy to suffer, his nature is not bad, is it?" As a teacher, I think that I have always been very accurate in seeing people. ”
"Huh...... Suffer? Qin Susu sneered. Master, you are destined to lose your eyes this time" So, Qin Susu told the old man Tianji about the Zimu Gu. When the old man Tianji heard this, he was also a little shocked. He knew that the situation in the court was right, and he knew that the two brothers were against each other, but he didn't know anything about this son and mother Gu, and after hearing Qin Susu's words at this time, he just sighed lightly, and he was too sad.
"After all, he didn't want to hurt anyone, did he?"
Qin Susu was a little dumbfounded at this moment, she knew that the master would definitely maintain the hundred miles of vicissitudes.
"So, Master, do you have a way to solve the Gu?" How could she be willingly controlled?
"Yes." The old man of Tianji thought for a moment and said. "It's just that the price to pay is probably very big."
"I'm not afraid." Qin Susu's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, she had been looking around for a solution to the Zimu Gu in the palace before, but it didn't work, even Li Yiru couldn't do anything. At this time, when I hear Master say that there is a way, how can I not be happy?
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not." Hearing this, the old man of Tianji just shook his head. "There are two ways to solve the Zimu Gu, one is to focus on anti-guest, and the second is to directly replace the blood of the Zimu Gu."
"What do you mean?" Qin Susu asked with some puzzlement.
The old man of Tianji immediately explained, not caring at all about the solemnity of Qin Susu's face. The first method is to be anti-guest-oriented, Qin Susu has also generally heard of it, that is, to cultivate the sub-Gu in the body to be strong, so that the sub-Gu will gradually revert to the mother Gu, but there is only one end to this, and the body attached to the mother Gu will die directly. And the second, to exchange the blood...... As the name suggests, it is to extract all the blood that exists in Zi Gu and re-inject new blood, and only in this way can Zi Gu be completely removed.
After finishing speaking, the old man of Tianji narrowed his eyes again, looked at Qin Susu, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "The master told you that this method is good, but I don't allow you to use the first method." ”
"Master?!" Qin Susu raised her head, that is to say, she only had one choice left now? Qin Susu has always been a little puzzled, why the old man of Tianji has been maintaining hundreds of miles of vicissitudes like this.
"Master, why are you helping him so much?"
"You don't have to ask about these things, and when you should know, you will naturally know." The old man narrowed his eyes, but he didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said like this.
"Is there only the second way? Swap out the blood? Isn't that looking for someone who matches my body? Qin Susu thought about it, and finally asked like this.
"Yes, it is indeed necessary to find a match with your body, if it does not match, the blood will be incompatible with your body at that time, and even if the blood is really changed and the Zi Gu is removed, the true qi in the body will expand and repel each other and die." It's obviously a matter of life and death, but when the old man of Tianji said it, it seemed to be saying an extremely simple thing. He looked at Qin Susu, a trace of pity crossed his eyes, in fact, how could he ever want his apprentice to suffer such a torment? However, there is only one way.
Sighing lightly, the old man of Tianji continued, "Disciple, one day, you will know that being a teacher is really good for you. ”
Qin Susu lowered his eyelids lightly and replied expressionlessly, "Yes, I know." ”
