Chapter 37: Old Enemies
If it weren't for seeing with his own eyes how serious Tu Qitang's injuries were, and knowing that he couldn't stand up no matter what, Liu Ye really thought that the person who came out of the room was him.
The same gray eyes, the faint sadness in the eyes is also surprisingly similar, judging from his appearance, he is eight or nine points similar to Tu Qitang, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them at first sight. Even Liu Ye was in a trance for a moment, but if he looked closely, the figure of the person in front of him was a little smaller than Tu Qitang, and his clothes were very different.
He was dressed in a simple coarse cloth robe, his hair was casually tied up at the back of his head, obviously he didn't care about his appearance, but the noble temperament that emanated from the inside could not be concealed, and the elegance of his gestures was definitely not possessed.
While Liu Ye guessed the identity of the other party, the poisonous scorpion had already involuntarily screamed: "He, he is...... Who is he......"
The poisonous scorpion is not making a fuss, nor is he a layman who has never seen the world, but he is really surprised, seeing that this person's appearance is exactly the same as Tu Qitang, Tu Qitang is the biological son of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, according to this, is he also related to the Bright Moon Holy Maiden? The poisonous scorpion knew about her relationship with Shengyin, but she didn't know that she had unspeakable ambiguities with other men, and even gave birth to a son, which was more desperate than the sky falling for the fanatical crush who had admired her for a long time.
The medicine gourd stroked his beard, smiled very weirdly, and made it clear that he wanted to see the poisonous scorpion appear in public, the poisonous scorpion's reaction was similar to what he expected, or even more exciting, he was very satisfied with the performance of the poisonous scorpion, and secretly wondered whether to tell him the truth, or it would be better to drive him crazy with some nonsense.
Qing Ling and Shi Zhong glanced at each other, seeing the gloating appearance of the medicine gourd, and did not say much, although Qing Ling wanted to ask about the relationship between this person and Tu Qitang immediately, after thinking about it, he still held back his curiosity.
Liu Ye didn't say anything, just looked at the other party quietly, and he also looked at her thoughtfully, slowly walked down the stone stairs, waved his hand, and signaled that the maid could retreat.
The maid lowered her head and walked away, and when her figure disappeared, Ke Lingji greeted Liu Ye generously: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the situation of the sect leader is not very optimistic, please come with me." ”
"You are ......" Liu Ye was no longer puzzled that he could recognize her at a glance, he could enter and exit Tu Qitang's room at will, and he must also be someone close to him. But she didn't have the energy to guess his identity now, and when she heard that Tu Qitang's situation was not optimistic, she hurriedly climbed the stone stairs.
Afterwards, Ke Lingji smiled politely at the poisonous scorpion and Qing Ling, signaling that they could also go up, the poisonous scorpion was stunned and couldn't move, his eyes were like copper bells, and the medicine gourd slapped him on the shoulder and teased: "Look at anything, your eyes won't move, let's go, you will understand after you go up." ”
Stepping into the Heavenly Palace, the fresh breath of the mountain stream comes to your face, and through the opposite window, you can see the lush mountain scenery at a glance. The roof is made of pear blossom wood all around, and the simple texture is calm and generous, and you can't even hear a murmur when you step on the solid wooden floor. The heavenly palace is not too big, except for the hall, there is a room on the left and right, there is a round table and six round stools in the middle of the hall, there is a coffee table under the windowsill, the porcelain vase is inserted with elegant small flowers, there is a rain tie on the upper edge of the window, there is a bird's nest in the upper left corner, it seems that the role of the rain tie is quite large, it can not only shelter the wind and rain, but also provide a habitat for the birds.
Liu Ye looked at the rooms on the left and right, and couldn't see the furnishings inside clearly through the screen, and then asked, "Where is Tu Qitang?" ”
Ke Linji opened the screen on the right hand side and led Liu Ye in, bypassing the one-foot-square copper incense burner, the slowly rising green smoke revealed a strange fragrance, and he felt refreshed when he inhaled it. Seeing Tu Qitang lying unconscious on the bed, Liu Ye's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take a look.
Although Tu Qitang closed his eyes tightly, he looked like he was asleep, his complexion was much better than before he came, Liu Ye didn't know what was not optimistic about this situation, and couldn't help but be a little nervous: "What's wrong with him?" Has he been like this since he went up the mountain? ”
The Holy Maiden of Mingyue and the poisonous scorpion fought outside the hall for a while, and it is unknown whether she sent someone to treat Tu Qitang during this time, Liu Ye's worry was not unreasonable, because after the medicine gourd gave Tu Qitang a pulse, his expression was not very relaxed.
"After the sect leader went up the mountain, his reaction was quite fierce, and the Holy Maiden of Mingyue refused to find someone to heal him, and sent him here directly. I saw that he was in pain, so I had to use tranquilizing incense to help him sleep first, so as not to consume too much physical strength. Kelinji walked to the square table next to the bed and poured tea for them one by one, "Old gourd, I don't know how serious the sect leader's injuries are, is it appropriate for me to do this, it won't hurt him, right?" ”
The medicine gourd took the teacup he handed over, sat at the head of the bed and waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, before we arrive, you can't control him, it's better to let him sleep for a while." ”
Hearing this, Kelinji breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at the poisonous scorpion and Qingling: "I am disrespectful, may I ask who these two are?" ”
Qing Ling smiled sweetly: "I am Qing Ling, the granddaughter of the old gourd, I heard you call him the old gourd, it seems that your relationship is very good!" ”
Collinji smiled shyly, and didn't know where to start for a while, Shizhong continued: "It's not just good, his relationship with your grandfather is so good that he is about to recognize his relatives!" ”
"Huh? Confession? I'm not going to call you uncle in the future, am I? Don't, don't, you're about the same age as me, how awkward it is! If you want to recognize your relatives, you can be my eldest brother or younger brother, so that we can get along more conveniently and save so much trouble. Qing Ling became more and more curious about him, "Hey, who are you, and what is your name?" ”
The medicine gourd looked at the poisonous scorpion, smiled and said: "I'm afraid you all have a count in your hearts, and you can all guess eight or nine without leaving ten, that's right, he is also the son of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, and he is Tu Qitang's younger brother according to his age......"
"Wow, it's really the son of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and it's also Tu Qitang's younger brother, but why don't you call them 'mother' or 'big brother', and we have to guess for a long time." Qing Ling excitedly interrupted the words of the medicine gourd, thought about it and said, "Tu Qitang is the son of the previous sect leader, are you too?" ”
The poisonous scorpion was upset for no reason, not wanting to hear them continue, but eager to know the truth.
The medicine gourd glanced at Ke Linji, looked at his unspeakable appearance, and said: "There is nothing to hide, there is no point in hiding it, there are no outsiders here, it doesn't hurt to tell them." ”
Colinji nodded and took the initiative to speak: "King Rest is my father, I was only recently brought to the altar by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and today is the first time I have met the sect master, so I can't get used to being called by relatives." ”
The poisonous scorpion was trembling all over, it turned out that the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and the King of Rest had a son, no wonder it had not happened for so many years.
"Hey, old scorpion, are you shaking with anger or can't hold your body anymore, do you want to lie down?" The medicine gourd reminded "kindly".
"I'm fine!" The poisonous scorpion stiffly turned his head away, too lazy to argue with him.
Qing Ling was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to react: "You, you are the real Prince of Rest, could it be that the Holy Maiden of Mingyue arrested you just so that Tu Qitang would not be found out if he pretended to be you." I'm just thinking, Tu Qitang is the leader of the Xiling Sect, how can he be the prince of rest, it turns out that you have been transferred. Oh my God, there is still such a thing, this Mingyue Holy Maiden is too partial, they are all her sons, how can you favor one over the other, no wonder you refuse to call her 'mother', call him 'big brother', if you were me, I would not recognize this kind of relative......"
"Alright, you don't have to say a word!" The medicine gourd took out a silver needle and pierced several acupoints on Tu Qitang's body, and frowned slightly, "The old scorpion is right, if you want to save his legs, you must open the meridians of his whole body as soon as possible, but the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon refuses to use internal force, what should we do?" If the poisonous scorpion hadn't been injured, the internal strength of the two of us might have been able to help with that, but now ......"
"I'm not injured and it's useless, the internal strength of both of us is used to open up the meridians, so who will help him heal? The most suitable candidate is Mingyue, but she is so stubborn, no matter how I persuade her, she refuses to listen. The poisonous scorpion covered his chest with a faint pain and sighed helplessly.
"So, is there any other way to open up the meridians than using internal force?" Liu Ye couldn't watch Tu Qitang continue to suffer, and hurriedly expressed his opinion, "For example, some kind of panacea, or internal strength cheats?" ”
The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion stared at her together: "Princess, do you think we are talking about books, where are there so many elixirs in this world." The most mysterious internal strength method in the world comes from the Xiling Sect, and there are many invisible poisons that kill people, but the elixir that can replace internal force has never been heard of! ”
"It's better to persuade the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon again, in short, you can't sit still! That kind of vicious mother, it's just a human outrage! Qing Ling hated to tie her up to Tu Qitang to heal her wounds, "What if she can't do good luck for a year, does she ignore the relationship between mother and son?" What do you want to do with your internal strength, I really can't figure it out. ”
"Perhaps, she is afraid that her old enemy will come to seek revenge!" Colingey, who had been silent for a long time, said.
"Rivals? Where did the enemy come from to be so great that she wanted to do it herself? There are so many masters on the altar, and she is still needed! Qing Ling said disapprerovingly.
"Naturally, there is a lot to be done...... "Colingey hesitated, not knowing where to start.
The poisonous scorpion raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Mingyue has the support of your father, and you are still afraid of your aunt's revenge?" What's the matter, what happened to the rest of the royal family, is it about to change the dynasty? ”
"The royal family has been in turmoil recently, I am afraid that my father will not be able to take care of himself, my uncle will have military power, and my aunt is likely to take the opportunity to go up the mountain to encircle and suppress the Xiling Sect. Of course, this is just my speculation, the Holy Maiden of Bright Moon should also be worried about this matter, so she wants to retain her strength, not for the sect master. ”
Qing Ling didn't understand again: "How can your aunt and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon be old enemies?" What is the festival between them? ”
"It's a big holiday, they fight for a man, and in the end, no one gets the love of this life, how can the two people who survive not be old enemies!" The poisonous scorpion told the past of the Mingyue Holy Maiden, and the lost tone could not hide the sadness in her heart, "Mingyue actually used this method to protect the Xiling Sect, Shengyin, she really gave everything for you!" ”
