Chapter 30: Jade Bone Ice Muscle
The terrain on the way to Daliang is complex, with bumpy mountain roads and cliffs, which are not very easy to walk.
Daliang, Song Dynasty is Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion, Jin changed its name to Bianjing, is the capital of Liang during the Warring States Period, located in the northwest of Kaifeng City, Henan Province. In the thirty-first year of King Wei Hui, the capital of Wei was moved here from Anyi. But that's all for later.
In the past two days, the road has been uneventful. In addition to hearing, Ji Jingchen has lost all four senses, in order not to let Ji Lianmei notice this, he has surprisingly few words along the way, except for eating, he goes to sleep.
According to Bai Yucheng's judgment, when he completely loses his five senses, he will gradually lose his mind and become an unconscious madman.
"Ji Jingchen, what's wrong with you? You seem to be very depressed these two days. Or do you want to go back to Wu? Ji Lianmei saw that Ji Jingchen's expression was gloomy, and she couldn't help asking.
Ji Lianmei thought about it carefully, she didn't ask Ji Jingchen's opinion about going to Daliang, she just pulled him here, and when she saw him unusually, she felt that he couldn't rest assured of his home country. However, if he thinks clearly at this time and wants to go back to Wu to preside over the overall situation, Ji Lianmei will definitely let him go back with peace of mind. After all, his life should not be decided by someone other than himself.
Ji Jingchen didn't have to look with his eyes, he understood what Ji Lianmei was worried about, chuckled, and said, "I'm just a little uncomfortable, don't think about it, I said I would accompany you, and I will always accompany you." ”
"That's good."
"Don't worry, what's so good about being an emperor, I don't want it to happen to me." Ji Jingchen smiled and patted his chest.
Who knew that when this palm was slapped, there was a faint pain in his chest, and then this electric shock-like pain slowly transferred from his chest to his brain, stimulating his nerves. Ji Lianmei's shouts in her ears gradually blurred into piercing tinnitus.
The sense of hearing is gradually lost, the five senses are lost, and the people become crazy.
Ji Jingchen only felt that his head was in pain as if it had exploded, and he beat his head hard, his eyes were red and he shouted heartbreakingly, like a beast that had lost its mind. Ten thousand insects devour the body, and the spirit is shaken, how can ordinary people endure the pain.
"Ji Jingchen, what happened to you? Master Xie, stop, stop now. ”
Xie Changfeng, who was driving in front, stopped the car when he heard the sound, and asked into the carriage, "Miss, is something wrong?" ”
"Come and see Ji Jingchen." Ji Lianmei pillowed Ji Jingchen's head in her arms, and let him scream while pushing her like crazy.
"The old man has learned a little medical skills, I don't know if he can help."
Xie Changfeng glanced at Ji Jingchen, forced his hand to be fixed, and put his hand on his meridians. After some examination, he took a medicine bottle from the sleeve of his robe and poured some watery liquid into his mouth.
Ji Jingchen slowly calmed down, but his face was pale, as if he was in great pain.
"It's ......."
"Hemp boils, let him be quiet for the time being."
"Master Xie, what's wrong with Ji Jingchen."
"Miss, has Childe been stimulated by anything before? His pulse was very erratic, like a mental disorder. ”
Stimulate? Is it because he witnessed the tragic death of his mother and the changes in the court, and it was difficult to accept it for a while?
"Is there a cure?"
Xie Changfeng got up, bowed slightly, and said: "Miss forgive the sin, mental illness, the old man can't do anything, but the old man heard that there is a flower called Blue Blood Seven Leaves growing on the cliff here, which can be used to relieve nervous diseases and calm the mind. It's just that this peanut grows on the icy Arctic cliff, and few people can climb it. ”
"You tell me where the cliff is, I'll pick it, and you're here to watch the mirror."
"From here to the south, you can see the cliff, the seven-leaf flower, growing in the shade of the cliff. But Miss, this trip is dangerous, you ......."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring back the Blue Blood Horse Chestnut Flower." Ji Lianmei didn't say a word, and ran south.
She ran two steps, and Xie Changfeng stopped her: "Miss, I'll take care of the scratches on your hands for you, once the wound is infected, it will be troublesome." ”
Ji Lianmei glanced at the few blood marks on her arm that were scratched by Ji Jingchen, shook her head and said, "Don't get in the way, time is pressing, I'll go first." ”
When she ran away, Xie Changfeng smiled lightly, and slowly pulled off a mask made of human skin from his face, and behind the mask was the handsome, clear, peerless face.
"Still so reckless......."
Looking at the direction where the girl was gone, he turned around and walked to Ji Jingchen's side and dragged him to the side under the tree to rest.
Under the Baizhang cliff, the two cases are high mountains, straight to the clouds, just like a vertical sword, separating the sky. Even the clouds were smeared with a dark blue mountain like pale ink. Can flowers really bloom on such a cliff?
Ji Lianmei had no climbing rope on her, or even any climbing equipment, so she could only climb this steep cliff with her bare hands. Although it is very risky, in order to save Ji Jingchen, he can't take care of it so much.
The rocks here are so cold that they seem to be able to penetrate the flesh and skin to the bones, and the cold is unusually cold, and every time you grasp a rock, your hand feels like it is frozen in ice. Ji Lianmei could only keep pumping hot air to her hands, so that her hands would not freeze.
Half an hour passed, and the scenery in front of me seemed to have not changed at all, except for the increasingly slippery and cold rock wall, which was still a dark blue rock, and there was no grass or trees in sight, nor the top of the cliff.
She found a small cave that was slightly recessed and sat down to rest. This mountain wall stretches endlessly, and there is still an abyss underneath, and it seems that if you want to find the horse chestnut, you have to continue to climb north.
On the next road, every time Ji Lianmei crawled north, the air became colder. Her delicate hands were red from the cold, and her noble and gorgeous clothes had been scratched by the rocks, but even so, she still did not find the horse chestnut. It was dark and almost impossible to see. And she was already barely able to climb the rocks, let alone keep walking.
When a person's physical strength is exhausted, the spirit will inevitably become trance and negative.
I'm so tired, and all the strength of my body seems to be drained....... Am I going to die? So be it, that's fine.
Under the peach blossom tree, a young man's thick eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like stars, his smile was uninhibited, and he bloomed against the light.
Ji Jingchen, you promised me that you would always be with me, and you would never lie to me. I owe you so much, even if I risk my life, I will definitely save you.
Ji Lianmei shook her head, looked at the mountains hidden in the clouds and didn't know how high they were, gritted her teeth, and continued to climb north.
Finally, a bud faintly grew on the stone wall not far away, faintly revealing pink.
Its flowers are pale pink, the stems and leaves are slender and soft, like a woman's willow waist; Its leaves are umbrella-shaped, with one flower and seven leaves, which is a rare spiritual thing.
"Horse chestnut flowers, there really are horse chestnut flowers." Ji Lianmei's dim eyes gradually radiated brilliance, and she moved slowly, reaching out to grab the stems and leaves of the horse chestnut flower, and put them in the medicine basket behind her.
A simple act of picking is difficult for her. Ji Lianmei was tired and half-lying on a small platform, panting heavily, she looked at the horse chestnut flower in her hand, and said to herself lightly: "Finally, I can also do one thing for you." ”
Leaving her to come out to collect medicine, no more, no less, exactly one day, I don't know, what happened to Ji Jingchen.
"Ji Jingchen, I found the horse chestnut flower, are you okay....... Is it? ”
Ji Lianmei happily poked her head out of the bushes, and before she could finish speaking, her smile gradually solidified on her face, and the horse chestnut fell from her hand, rubbing against the grass and making a crisp sound.
The young man in white stood with his back to her, the sun shining softly on his black hair, leaving speckled light and shadow, like an angel descending, but at his feet, a terrifying mask of human skin was left.
Under the tree beside him, there was the corpse of Ji Jingchen, the white blade was shiny and reflective, the blood was smeared in his chest, and the soft air around him seemed to suddenly become bone-chilling and dazzling.
The beautiful young man who had always been careless and full of frivolous words, the person she knew very well who had always been with her, was now leaning motionless against the tree, lifeless. The young man's handsome face was still the same, but there was no longer that naughty smile.
Ji Lianmei walked up to him in a distraught, leaned down, and stroked her cold red hand on his cheek, which was still warm. In normal times, this disciple would have laughed and said something harsh to her, but now, he let her caress his face and remained silent, never more obedient.
"Ji Jingchen, have you forgotten what you promised me? You promised to accompany me to Daliang, you will protect me well, and you will always accompany me. Are you angry that I left you alone? Now that I'm back, don't lie down and scare me anymore. I'll count three times, and if you don't wake up, I'll ignore you again. ”
"Three..... Two...... One ......". When the time came, the boy did not smile and compromise with her as he used to.
"Ji Jingchen, I don't like this joke, it's not funny at all." Ji Lianmei buried her face in Ji Jingchen's still warm arms, clearly sensing that his body temperature was passing little by little, and his soft skin gradually began to stiffen a little.
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, these things are telling her that she will never come back. The only person she could rely on in this world would never come back.
From beginning to end, Bai Yucheng did not turn around, accepting the gaze of mortals as if he was the top of the world.
Ji Lianmei knelt on the ground, raised her head from Ji Jingchen's arms, looked at the figure, and suddenly pulled out the bloody short blade from Ji Jingchen's body and stabbed at Bai Yucheng.
He knew the danger was coming, but he didn't dodge it.
At the moment when the knife was about to be inserted into his body, Ji Lianmei gritted her teeth, put down the hand holding the knife, came to Bai Yucheng, grabbed his neck, and pushed him against the tree.
"You promised me to let him go, you promised mine!" Ji Lianmei's eyes were red, and the blade was approaching, roaring.
Bai Yucheng smiled coldly, and said without changing his face: "Didn't you say that I was a liar? Since he is a liar, how can he be true to his word. Since he is your last support, then I will destroy him, and when he dies, you will willingly go with me. ”
