Chapter Seventy-Eight: Blindness
Xiao Lianshan's words were a pun, he didn't answer my question directly, he only said that he had never killed anyone, in fact, people would not be wiped out in front of our eyes, Xiao Lianshan should have killed three Fusang people outside Xie Tong's house, but in his heart, these Fusang people are not people.
He hid too many secrets from me, I didn't want to follow up without knowing anything, just about to ask further, suddenly the sky turned and the eyes were in sharp pain, more intense than any before, my eyes were as painful as being cut by a knife, I covered my eyes and my body shook and almost didn't stand, but fortunately the prince next to me supported me.
It took a long time to sit on the ground and slowly calm down, but the pain in his eyes was still unbearable, Yun Duruo squatted in front of me anxiously, and suddenly realized that because of entering the imperial tomb, he had not drunk Yun Duruo's medicine during this time, presumably because the eye disease was deteriorating rapidly because of the loss of control.
I rubbed my eyes a few times, my vision deteriorated too fast, and it was difficult to see what was close at hand, and even the doctor couldn't tell what happened to my eyes when I went to the hospital for a check-up last time, if the disease could still be cured, but I could more or less detect that my eye disease should be related to the yin and yang eyes that had been worrying Xiao Lianshan.
Xiao Lianshan walked quickly in front of me, looking at me with an anxious and loving face, he should have wanted to say something to me, but when he saw my eyes, his face suddenly flashed with helpless sadness.
Yun Duruo hesitated, pursed her lips and rolled up her sleeves, I saw that her wrist was wrapped with a bandage, which was faintly infected with blood, the moment she untied the bandage, I looked at her wrist in shock, there was a shocking wound on it, I was with her every day, I didn't know that she was injured, I was about to ask her what was going on, my eyes fell on the wound on her wrist, the wound was clearly not recent, from the degree of healing of the wound, it was repeatedly healed and repeatedly cut.
"You...... What's the matter with your wound? ”
I asked, surprised.
Yun Duruo pursed her lips and didn't answer me, when she raised her hand, she already had a sharp knife in her hand, and cut her wrist without hesitation, I grabbed her hand, and the corners of my mouth squirmed.
"This wound...... Be...... Did you cut it yourself?! ”
I looked at Yun Duruo in a daze and asked.
"Why are you ......?"
I stopped halfway through my words, and I suddenly thought of one thing, I don't know when Yun Duruo began to wear long-sleeved clothes, and when I touched her hand several times, she deliberately withdrew it, and now I think about it carefully from the last time I went to the temple with her to participate in the water and land puja.
The presiding abbot said that my eye disease can only be alleviated and controlled by the blood Bodhi, but the blood Bodhi is highly poisonous and will definitely die if I drink it, and it was Yun Duruo who brought a bowl of bitter and unpalatable decoction for me to take that night, and my eye disease actually got a temporary improvement, although I kept asking Yun Duruo what exactly he gave me to drink, but she never told me.
…… It was from that time that Yun Duruo's body became weak, and the blood on his face was as white as paper.
"You...... What you've been giving me is ......"
I squirmed my Adam's apple for a moment, and finally figured it out.
"It's your blood!"
Yun Duruo shook her lips and still didn't answer my question directly, she tried hard to break free of my hand, I desperately controlled her, knowing that once I let go, she would not hesitate to cut her wrist.
"It's the only way to relieve your eye problems, if you don't drink ......"
Yun Duruo was more anxious than me, and his voice was sad and couldn't continue.
I slowly raised my head and looked at the prince next to me, this is the secret that their brother and sister have never told me, the prince has known it since the beginning, recalling the expression on his face when he sent us out of the temple, I am completely sure that the prince knows that the medicine I have been drinking is actually Yun Duruo's blood.
"You always knew that."
I stared at the prince and asked angrily.
The prince avoided my questioning gaze and sighed silently, he had already answered me in silence.
"She's your sister, she uses blood to help me control my eye disease, even if I don't get sick, her body will collapse sooner or later, do you think I can be at peace with that?"
My voice began to become a little angry, Yun Duruo gave me not blood, but her life, with the amount of medicine I take every day, I know very well how much blood she has to consume every day, Yun Duruo in front of me is already weak, but I know that as long as I don't find out, she will continue like this, cutting her wrist every night, and what is brought to me is the blood that carries her life, I don't even know how long I have been drinking.
"My Buddha is merciful, I can sacrifice my life to feed the eagle and feed the tiger to prove the Bodhisattva Dao, although Du Ruo is not a person in the Buddhist sect, but the mercy of the heavens and the mercy of the people to turn your disaster into blood, saving people's lives is better than creating a seven-level floating slaughter, and the merit is immeasurable."
The prince was silent, and replied calmly with his hands folded.
"She can sacrifice herself for you, even if I know, what can I do, if my blood can help you overcome misfortune, the six realms will not hesitate."
"Why, why does her blood alleviate my eye disease?"
I looked at Yun Duruo's wrist that was repeatedly cut by her every day, and asked painfully.
"Liudao has been convenient for the temple since childhood, Du Ruo accompanied the backyard to play and accidentally ate blood Bodhi, Du Ruo has Buddha nature and can be safe and sound, the host master asserts that Du Ruo can purify evil poison must have Bodhi Huigen."
The prince said to me earnestly.
"Your eye disease is not a disease, but the fate of the six realms of reincarnation, although the blood Bodhi is highly poisonous and may get rid of the demonic obstacles, Du Ruo knows that he is the only person who can dissolve the poison of the blood Bodhi, how can she not save it when she sees that your life is on the verge of death."
My hand trembled, I looked at Yun Duruo with regret, a bleak smile squeezed out of the corner of my mouth, and slowly let go of her hand to stop it.
"You've known me for a long time, and no one can force me to do what I don't want to do, if I want to drink your blood to relieve my eye disease, I'd rather destroy my eyes."
Yun Duruo frowned anxiously, she should know very well that I could do what I said, she said in a voice that was almost pleading with a sharp knife.
"I'm okay and I can still persevere, until I find a cure for your eyes, this is the only way to control your condition, if you don't drink, my brother said, you ...... You'll ......."
I saw that Yun Duruo couldn't say anything anxiously, I suddenly smiled faintly, tore open the corner of my clothes and carefully helped Yun Duruo bandage the wound on his wrist, and asked the prince disapprovingly.
"What if I don't drink?"
"Hide from the world!"
The prince took a deep breath, was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice.
"You'll be blind forever."
"You are born with yin and yang eyes, and you can pass the power of ghosts and gods, if the yin and yang eyes do not open the divine power, they will seal themselves, and it will be difficult for you to see the light of day again in this life."
Xiao Lianshan pressed on my shoulder and said in a sad voice.
"Dad...... You, you knew it in the morning. ”
I looked at Xiao Lianshan with a faint wry smile.
"That's why you've been stopping me, you're afraid I'll go blind so you've been suppressing my choices and planning everything about me since I was a child."
Xiao Lianshan nodded silently, I looked at his sad appearance and suddenly felt a little remorseful, I haven't understood him all these years, I know that everything he does is for my good, but I always think that I can control everything, I am dissatisfied with his stubbornness, and I also hurt him with stubbornness, now I understand, but it seems that everything is too late.
"Dad is sorry for you, but don't worry, Dad promised you that even if you are blind, you will never see the light of day, and Dad will guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing in this life."
Xiao Lianshan took a deep breath, and the wrinkles on his face were full of helplessness and indebtedness.
"Brother, don't be afraid, you just can't see things, Xiaoxiao accompanies you every day."
Gu Xiaoxiao's voice was a little choked.
Han Yu walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder and didn't say a word, smiled faintly, everything was silent, and I smiled back gratefully.
"You won't be blind, but if you can't see, I'm your eyes."
Yun Duruo tried to squeeze out a smile on his face and said sincerely.
I stretched out my hand and stroked her cheek and smiled contentedly, what does it matter if you don't see it, it's enough to have such a group of friends by your side.
"How much time do I have?"
I looked at the prince calmly and asked.
"You can't see the light of day again, and when any ray of sunlight hits your eyes, you will never be able to see in your eyes."
The prince sighed and said with certainty.
I struggled to get up from the ground, holding Yun Duruo's hand tightly, looking around and taking a closer look at everyone, the mood was very calm and relaxed, I was not bothered by blindness, just like Xiao Lianshan said, if everything is destined, why should I worry about it, it is better to be safe when I come.
"There is a beginning and an end, this may be the last case I investigated, and now I am not blind, since all the secrets are in this imperial tomb, I only hope to find the truth here before I can see anything."
I said with a faint smile.
"The people of Fusang have worked hard to find this imperial tomb, but with the help of Nie Haoran, they finally got their wish, but why did they leave here?"
Nangong Yi muttered sensibly.
"Because what they want isn't here."
Xiao Lianshan replied meaningfully.
"Dad, whether it's Fusang people, or you, I know that you are not here for the treasures of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, what is so important in this mausoleum?"
I looked at Xiao Lianshan and asked very sincerely.
"At this point, can you tell me if you have anything you don't say?"
"It's not that I don't say it, but it's unnecessary, someone has been here to this mausoleum a long time ago, and I'm afraid that what the Fuso people are looking for will be taken away."
Xiao Lianshan said to me earnestly.
"If you want to know the secrets of this mausoleum, you must first find out who came here before us."
