Chapter 376: Death and Resurrection
"What is a rock pith element?" Mu Zhizhao hadn't even heard of it.
Mr. Daozhen said with a smile: "The rock essence is born between heaven and earth, and it is a treasure born from the essence of heaven and earth and nurtured by thousands of years of spiritual veins. Among the cliffs and ancient caves in the south, there are many carriers that give birth to rock essence. This treasure gathers in the rocks, accumulates over time, and slowly turns from water droplets into gelatinous substances, with a peculiar fragrance......"
"Among the rocks? There are so many rocks in these eight wildernesses, which kind of rocks have them? Mei Shaoqing didn't have time to listen to him talk about this set of mysterious theories, so he couldn't help but interrupt him.
Mr. Dozhen sighed: "Young people are just impatient...... There will be stalagmites in the south. ”
As soon as he heard the word stalagmite, Wei Shi's brows couldn't help jumping, and his eyes swept to the dormitory, where the stalagmite he brought back from Nanchu to Mu Yunge was still in the cupboard, could it have a rock essence?
Wei Shi immediately asked, "Are there any stalagmites in the south?" What kind of stalagmites do you still need? ”
"Have you ever seen jade! Among the stalagmites in the south, some of them are very similar to jade on the outside, and the layers are like jade, and most of the particularly beautiful stalagmites contain rock essence. When illuminated by candlelight, the stalagmites with the pith essence will become transparent, and the pith essence in the middle will be revealed. Mr. Daozhen explained with a smile and patted Wei Shi on the shoulder: "Young man, go and find it." ”
As soon as his hand was put up, the girls behind Wei Shi were frightened, and now they dare to pat Wei Shi on the shoulder, I'm afraid that there is only Mr. Daozhen!
But Wei Shi never minded this, he listened to Mr. Daozhen's words, his face bloomed with joy, and he immediately ordered someone to carefully lift the stalagmites in the cupboard.
When Mr. Daozhen saw the stalagmites, his eyes lit up, and without waiting for Wei Shi's orders, he immediately lit a candle and ordered people to close the doors and windows tightly and cover the stalagmites with a black cloth to watch. After a while, he lifted the black cloth and pointed at Wei Shi and laughed: "The little guy is also a blessed person, there is really a rock essence in it!" Where did you find it? ”
Wei Shi said with a smile: "Before I drove the expedition, I said that I wanted to bring a gift to Yun Ge, Yun Ge said that she wanted the stalagmites in the south to make an ornament, when I was fighting in Southern Chu, one day the soldiers encountered a cave, and found this, I thought it was very beautiful, so I brought it back to Yun Ge!" ”
Dao Zhen said: "It seems that Yun Ge is a blessed person!" ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly twice.
This person is more angry than people, thinking that he is still wandering around the mountains of Nanchu at an age, just to find a drop of this thing to use in medicine, but I didn't expect that for three years, he has been returning empty-handed. Wei Shi and Mu Yunge, a young couple, the wife had no intention of planting willows, and the husband watered them diligently, but he didn't expect to really grow treasures for them.
The rock essence is already there, Luminous Sand and He Shou Wu are not a thing, He Shou Wu has a lot in the warehouse of the palace, Wei Shi ordered and Shun Gonggong to pick the best; He also asked Wang Jian to leave Beijing quickly and go to the bat cave in Gushan to dig those old luminous sands, and in less than an hour, everything was ready.
Everything was done, and everyone's eyes were burning, and they all stared at Mr. Daozhen: "Sir, next, please open the altar!" ”
Mr. Daozhen only looked solemn at this time, looking at the three things neatly arranged in front of him, and he was inevitably in a bad mood.
Half of it was sour jealousy, half of it was a little embarrassed.
To be honest, at the beginning, he was willing to say this method to Wei Shi, because he was sure that their conditions were not enough, even if someone was willing to sacrifice their lives for others, those three things were enough to embarrass many people!
Mr. Daozhen rode the tiger and said: "The opening of the altar is not busy, I have two requests, you have to agree to me." ”
"Don't say two, even twenty, I will definitely promise you!" Wei Shi hurriedly said.
When Mr. Daozhen heard this, he immediately smiled again: "I don't want twenty, just two." First, it is a forbidden art against the sky, I try it today, if it is known, it will definitely cause a catastrophe, not to mention, I myself am also in trouble, out of this palace, no one is allowed to mention this matter, only when your queen is seriously ill, now it is okay. Second, the pith essence...... Can you divide me with three drops? There are a lot of rock essence in this stalagmite, and you can't use it up. ”
"Good!" Wei Shi agreed: "The rock pith essence is left after the opening of the altar, how many gentlemen take as much!" ”
"This thing can prolong life, you don't want to keep it?" When Mr. Daozhen got this, he was almost going to laugh, and he was afraid that Wei Shi would regret it, so he couldn't help but ask.
Wei Shi shook his head resolutely: "Without Yun Ge, no matter how long your life is, it's useless!" ”
Mr. Daozhen really believed that he was willing to give all these to himself, and he was in a good mood, so he immediately pried open the stalagmite, and used a glass vial to catch the thick liquid that slowly flowed out of the stalagmite, afraid that someone would rob him, so he put it in his arms and turned around to match the other items he needed.
In the middle palace, everyone was very nervous, and at this moment, the inner supervisor suddenly announced that Lu Lingxuan was here and asked to see him outside the palace. With her, there is also the second son of the Lin family, who also invited Wei Shi together.
Everyone looked at each other, Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Shi heard Lu Lingxuan's name, their faces showed a little anxious joy, Lu Lingxuan has been gone for more than a month, they have accepted someone as a righteous daughter, and they are also very worried in their hearts, at first glance they knew that she was coming on this reunion day, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they were worried that she would be injured outside the imperial city alone.
"Announce them to the Middle Palace." Wei Shi frowned, Lu Lingxuan came to see Mu Yunge late at night, it makes sense, what is Lin Juzheng doing here? This year, Nangong Jin is in the Northwest Army, and he has not celebrated the New Year in the palace!
After a stick of incense, Wang Jian escorted Lu Lingxuan and Lin Juzheng to come, as soon as he entered the door, Wang Jian took the lead in saying: "Your Majesty, when the minister was ordered to go outside the city to get Ye Mingsha, he saw a carriage wandering outside the city gate, talked to the guards, and recognized it as the car of the princess of Huainan. The minister asked Miss Peiying in the palace, and the girl said that the princess had asked her to come to see her, and the minister immediately went out of the city to meet her. On the way here, we met Lin Juzhenglin's second son, saying that he had something important to see His Majesty, so the minister brought it with him. Before I could ask Your Majesty, I asked Your Majesty for forgiveness. ”
While he was talking, Lu Lingxuan and Lin Juzheng both knelt respectfully, for fear of angering Wei Shi.
Wei Shicai was not in the mood to listen to this, waved his hand, asked them to stand up, and asked Lin Juzheng directly: "What's the matter with you?" The body is just right, how can you run around in this big night, the wind is cold and dewy? ”
Lin Juzheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask for a decree to go to the northwest to join the army." ”
Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, he just received a letter from Nangong Jin, and Nangong Jin said in her heart that the war in the northwest was stale, and she missed Lin Juzheng very much. When Lin Juzheng heard this, where could he still sit still, thinking about it, he could only beg Wei Shi to let him go northwest.
"It's not that I won't allow you to go, it's that the timing is not right now, and you can't take the risk." Wei Shi sighed and said earnestly: "Duan Rongxuan is ambitious, just waiting for you to leave the imperial city, he can find a chance to start!" ”
"All he wants is that map...... Lin Juzheng smiled coldly, and was about to speak, Mr. Daozhen washed your hands and came from the side hall.
Wei Shi hurriedly interrupted him: "I'll talk about it later." Before the words fell, the man had left in a hurry.
Wei Shi led everyone into the inner hall, leaving Lin Juzheng and Lu Lingxuan staring wide-eyed, and the two gritted their teeth and followed in.
It's just that as soon as the two of them saw Mu Yunge on the bed with their eyes closed and lifeless, this surprise almost made them collapse. Especially Lu Lingxuan, after a few months, where did she think of seeing her friends again, she was already dying. Lu Lingxuan covered her mouth, and her tears came down.
The others also unconsciously shook each other's hands and looked at the person on the bed with pity and heartbreak.
Mr. Daozhen stepped forward, covered Mu Yunge's wrist and checked the pulse, quickly let go of her, opened her eyes and looked at it a few times, and then said: "The little girl is small, but she is not small, and she dares to use the medicine that consumes her life and induces qi." Originally, there was still a month to live, and there was only half an hour left for her to be born. ”
He stood up and spread his hands: "Now, I can't help it." Hurry up and say goodbye to her. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and when they realized what he meant, Xiao was the first to cry.
Wei Shi also sat down on the bed all of a sudden, his face was pale, and his eyes were moist.
Of all of them, he had the most expectations, and the result was disappointed in the end. Mr. Daozhen's words undoubtedly sentenced Mu Yunge to death, thinking that in the second half of his life, he would lose her in the world, and he would spend most of his life in that lonely and widowed position, Wei Shi suddenly felt bored, holding Mu Yunge's hand, his eyes were blank.
He remembered a lot, remembered the first time the two met in Jinling City, she was beautiful and amazed him in the night, and her wit convinced his heart; I think of her always sometimes cunning, sometimes warm smile, and before she set out for the battle, she pulled her sleeve with a look of attachment in her eyes......
The little fox ran out of nowhere like the wind, coiled in Mu Yunge's hand, as if he understood Mr. Daozhen's words, it rubbed Mu Yunge's wrist with its little head, as if calling her to wake up quickly!
Lu Lingxuan and Lin Ju knew for the first time that Mu Yunge was seriously ill, and the two of them grabbed Peiying, who was crying non-stop, and asked again and again.
People are leaving, what is there to hide?
Pei Ying cried profusely and briefly explained the matter. When Lu Lingxuan heard this, she covered her mouth in surprise, remembering the radiant person and the pale face in front of her when she left, her tears collapsed almost instantly, wetting her fingers.
She ran to Xiao's side, and the mother and daughter glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw heartbreak.
Yun Rao hugged the two of them tightly, and the three women all cried together.
Over there, Mu Zhizhao stood on the edge of the bed in a daze, and Mei Shaoqing, who also looked at the hem of his clothes in a daze, tears rolled down, and he bit his lips and didn't want to say a word.
Among all the people, only Mr. Michijin was the calmest, stroking his beard and smiling incomprehensibly, with a bit of smugness in his eyes......
If you don't die first, how can you live later?
Note: Normal updates will resume tomorrow, and the ones that fall in the past few days will be made up for you. Once again, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best~~~~
