Chapter 360: Atonement
"Peerless County Lord?" The old man looked at the group with a serious face, his gaze swept over the faces of Prince Ming Xiu and the four secret guards in turn, and finally landed on Chu Nian's face in the center, the old face full of wrinkles suddenly flashed a trace of resentment, and the hatred flashing in those eyes almost shattered Chu Nian's corpse.
The secret guards sensitively sensed the hostility of the arrival, and they turned over and blocked in front of Chu Nian and Ming Xiu, making a defensive posture, as if the old man moved slightly, they would strike first and attack the old man.
Seeing this nervous look, the old man sneered, and the gray beard that grew to his chest was windless, "But the Wushuang County Lord thinks that he can stop the old man with just these few?" ”
Chu Nian frowned, and gently patted the back of the dark three in front of him, and the dark guards turned around in surprise, and saw Chu Nian gently waved his hand to signal them not to stand in front of her first.
Although the secret guards were worried and didn't want to obey, they saw Ming Xiu's flickering gaze on the side, so they had no choice but to respond and retreat one after another, revealing Chu Nian and Ming Xiu standing side by side.
"Ah Mo died for me, if the god of medicine does not give up, I will naturally give my life with both hands."
Chu Nian said it sincerely, and between his half-lowered eyes, the scene before Bai Mo's death seemed to have happened yesterday.
The old man at the top snorted coldly again, he stood on the steps of the house, turned his hands behind his back, and looked at Chu Nian condescendingly, "But the Wushuang County Lord thinks that the old man can easily forgive you in this way?" ”
Chu Nian was silent for a while, and suddenly stepped forward, the secret guards and Ming Xiu on the side were all startled by her action, and Ming Xiu was about to step forward to cover Chu Nian's stall, and then he heard Chu Nian's voice in front of him, revealing a little coldness, but also containing a lot of guilt.
"I didn't want to ask for the forgiveness of the Medical God," Chu Nian raised his eyes to look at the Medical God, his eyes flashed with a little compassion, "Ah Mo died to protect me, I have the responsibility and obligation to atone for my sins to the Medical God, but not now." ”
Chu Nian's eyes gradually regained her composure, she raised her eyes, and looked at the eyes full of sarcasm as if she was not afraid, "Whether the Lord of Medicine believes it or not, at least now, I still have something very important to do, many people are waiting for me to save it, even if I am guilty now, but I still don't dare to die, if the Lord of Medicine is willing to wait, can I wait until I have completed everything, and the little girl will give this life with both hands, okay?" ”
As if hearing the seriousness in Chu Nian's words, Ming Xiu on the side couldn't help frowning, and several secret guards on the side also looked at Chu Nian with wide eyes, but he saw that the medical god was not moved, he just stroked his beard, and said, "After saying so much, don't you still want to atone for your sins?" Now that you're coming in the name of atonement, I think you're just preaching the good deeds you've done, right? ”
"Little girl, are you thinking too simply, do you think that the old man who lives in seclusion in the mountains like this and doesn't ask about the world will be a person who cares about the people of the world?"
When these words fell, Chu Nian's face was slightly gloomy, and he suddenly felt a breeze blowing in his face, the old man was already close to his eyes, there was a fence that was less than his waist between them, and the old man was looking at Chu Nian levelly, a pair of eyes that looked very old but flashed with indignation, and there seemed to be fire in those eyes, this fire of hatred was not only facing Chu Nian, but also facing everyone present, or the so-called common people in the world.
"The old man has always been a selfish person, you ruined the old man's Medicine King Valley, killed the old man's wife, and now you have killed the old man's daughter who grew up with him, do you know that the old man was looking for news of her, but finally got the news of her death, what is his feeling?"
Chu Nian's face was stunned, and he saw the old man approaching again, this step actually made Chu Nian, who was not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, also take a step back, "You actually told the old man about the lives of the people in the world?" That may be your duty, the responsibility of the royal family and even the court, but this has nothing to do with the old man, the old man is just a father, a father who has lost his only daughter, but no matter what you say or do now, the old man really wants your life, will the old man's beloved daughter come back? ”
The last sentence was stained with a trace of inexplicable trembling, Chu Nian deeply realized that even if he really gave his life to the God of Medicine on this trip, he would not be able to make up for anything, Bai Mo was still a cold corpse, and the only daughter of the God of Medicine, the father, still couldn't come back.
The medical god looked at Chu Nian in front of him with a calm gaze, and that look was as if he wanted to Ling Chu Nian.
Ming Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, and his hands clenched into fists, but when he saw Chu Nian's stunned expression, he suddenly let go, he turned his face away, and tried his best not to let himself see the injured look on the person's face.
"Then I should ...... What to do?
Chu Nian raised her eyes to look at the God of Medicine, at this moment she felt a little dazed and helpless, the God of Medicine was right, everyone is a child that their parents cherish the most, and everyone has someone who loves them the most, and now because of her negligence, it was Bai Mo's death, which made a father feel sad about it, which was one of the irreparable crimes she committed.
But Chu Nian, who was standing quietly at the moment, thought again, if Bai Mo was not the daughter of the God of Medicine, would she deliberately go all the way here to atone for her sins?
Chu Nian was suddenly at a loss. Sensing her ugly side, her eyes turned red and red, and she raised her eyes to look at the god of medicine, "Lord god of medicine, what should I do?" ”
The doctor looked at her fixedly, "You want to atone for your sins, just for the sake of a trace of guilt in your heart, according to the old man, the sin you committed, even if you feel guilty for a lifetime, you deserve it!" ”
When these words fell, Ming Xiu pursed his lips slightly and did not speak, at this time, the medical god suddenly raised his right arm to look at Chu Nian, his right arm was straight, as if he was measuring the distance between him and Chu Nian.
"The old man is the god of medicine in the valley of medicine, but since it is the valley of the king of medicine, it is naturally not only a medical skill, the old man is invasive, and he has refined a poison for himself a long time ago, this poison will make the poisoned person physically and mentally eroded, it looks no different from ordinary people, but every full moon night vomits blood, the old man spreads this poison all over the body, as long as you are close to the distance within the old man's arm, you will be poisoned, since you want to atone for your sins, then live with the guilt of Amo, the old man wants to be angry, but you have to let you live, this is the law, Do you dare to come and accept this poison? ”
Chu Nian's face was stunned, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he was about to step forward, but he was blocked by an arm, and when he turned his eyes sideways, it was Ming Xiu's indulgent narrow eyes.
He looked at the medical god in front of him with a cold face, "Medical god? Is this punishment a bit excessive? ”
The medical god lowered his right arm and squinted his eyes slightly to look at Ming Xiu in front of him, "Are you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" No matter who you are, if you commit a crime now, you should atone for your sin, if Your Highness thinks that this move is inappropriate, then simply ask the old man to kill the most important person of the Wushuang County Lord, and it can be regarded as a retribution. ”
Ming Xiu frowned, he turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian shaking his head lightly, "No." ”
Her most important person...... There is only one left in this world.
Seeing that Chu Nian had let himself go to the range that the God of Medicine said, Ming Xiu lowered his eyes and sighed silently, then saw him step under his feet, easily stepped over the fence, and stood in front of the God of Medicine one step ahead of Chu Nian.
The medical god looked at Ming Xiu who was suddenly standing in front of him in some surprise, and heard Chu Nian and the secret guards exclaim.
"Your Highness?"
Ming Xiu looked at the god of medicine steadily, "Since it is a report and a report, then this poison should naturally not be borne by Chu Nian herself, if you have to say, Gu is one of the people she cares about, and now if Gu Ruo is poisoned by the god of medicine, will it also be regarded as Nian'er atoning for Miss Amo?" ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Mo have actually never met a few times, but these news have already been sent to the capital together, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally clear about what Chu Nian and Tao Jinyan have experienced.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, Chu Nian looked at Ming Xiu's back steadily, but his face turned cold, and the dark guards on the side had complicated faces, sometimes looking at Ming Xiu worriedly, sometimes looking at Chu Nian worriedly, all of them didn't dare to speak.
After a long time, the god of medicine suddenly laughed, and he raised his head to look at Ming Xiu, who was half a head taller than himself, and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really temperamental, so it's okay, then please ask the Wushuang County Lord to repent in front of Wu'er Lingtang for three days, and the county lord can respond?" ”
Ming Xiu frowned, "Lonely has ......"
The god of medicine let him go, "You have been poisoned, and you can't solve it, this will indeed make the Wushuang County Lord feel sorry and worried, but in the end, she still owes Wu'er an apology." ”
Chu Nian frowned and pursed his red lips, didn't look at Ming Xiu again, and turned to look at the medical god and said, "Please also ask the medical god to lead the way." ”
The medical god seemed to glance at Chu Nian with appreciation, nodded slightly, and stretched out his hand to compare in the direction of the wing, "County Lord, please come here." ”
……
At night, the mourning hall was extremely cold and lonely, Bai Mo's body had already been buried, and there was only one tablet left in front of him, which was placed alone in the mourning hall newly built by the god of medicine for his daughter.
Chu Nian knelt in front of the mourning hall, a pair of watery eyes looked at the lonely tablet above, and a trace of compassion suddenly rose in her heart, if she didn't bring Bai Mo to Prince Lu's mansion...... There won't be so many things, Bai Mo won't die, and the god of medicine doesn't have to be sad about it......
In the end, it was her fault, if she had half of the understanding of the current darkness, it would not have led to such an irreparable result.
At present, the sins she has committed are irreparable, and besides, today's medical god also makes it clear that Ming Xiu has been poisoned......
Chu Nian's red lips pursed, and at the end, she frowned slightly, Ah Mo, if you know everything, are you also blaming me?
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and a figure walked in slowly from outside the door, and then, a warm robe with the fragrance of lotus flowers wrapped Chu Nian's body, this robe blocked the breeze from the door, and when the candle flame flickered, he saw a shadow standing beside Chu Nian.
Ming Xiu's gaze fell on the lonely token in front of him, his face was cold, and his eyes were covered under the shadow of his eyelashes, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Chu Nian tightened his robe tightly, "Do you feel anything in your body now?" ”
Ming Xiu lowered his head and looked at the kneeling person on the ground, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but he just opened his mouth and said, "No." ”
Chu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, so far they haven't seen Tao Jinyan and the Medicine King, and the God of Medicine has not said where they are going, but Tao Jinyan has the protection of the King of Medicine, and the God of Medicine should also be ......
"He's in a hospital bed right now."
