Chapter 63: Ablation
Gu Xi glanced at her, "This matter should also be clarified with you." Seeing that her expression was relaxed, he didn't pierce her thoughts, and said softly: "I haven't been able to lift the puppet Gu on your body yet, and I lied to you when I was in Jingshi to hide other people's eyes and ears and make you not have to worry about it." At that time, I could only use the golden needle and the turtle breath medicine to make it sleep in your body and slow down its germination, but this time you came to the battlefield, whether it was the internal force urging at the time of the battle or the stimulation of the bloody qi, it would wake up in advance and sprout again in your body. ”
Yun Yanzheng's face was slightly pale, but he was not frightened, smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "I already knew such a result. ”
Gu Xi secretly praised her calm and sturdiness in his heart, nodded and said, "I bought medicinal herbs all the way, plus the amber flowers and green bone worms picked by your subordinates were found in your room, and they have been added to the prescription I prepared. He pulled up his sleeves with a "swoop", and his arm was instantly displayed in front of Yun Yanzheng, only to see that above his wrist and below his elbow bone were tied with red threads, so that the skin and flesh were tight, and one of the blood veins was fierce and violent, and a thing the size of a longan kernel was faintly revealed under the skin in the middle. This blood may have been unblocked for a long time, or it may have been eroded by drugs and turned into a strange dark purple, and even the skin with that section looked dark and bruised.
"What is this?" Yun Yanzheng frowned, asked in a deep voice, his heart beat suddenly, and there was a faint answer to burst out of people's hearts.
She raised her eyes to look at Gu Xi, but the young man in white smiled slightly, and said gently: "This is a blood Gu, I have been raising it for a long time." Just because the puppet Gu needed the blood of the Gu cultivator as a medicine, I had no way of knowing who raised it, and I didn't have time to find out the whereabouts of those Gu masters, so I had to raise this blood Gu to give it a try. Although he said "give it a try", the look in his eyes was firm and confident, which can make people feel calm and calm.
"You...... Raising it like this must have a lot of damage, right? The blood and meridians of this arm will affect the blood flow of the whole body, and the operation of the viscera ......" She couldn't help but disagree and reminded him anxiously unconsciously, or tried to persuade him to give up such a cruel method immediately.
"It doesn't matter." He just laughed. Seeing that there was no hidden worry in her eyes, she slowly explained: "There are all kinds of medicinal properties in my blood, it can't erode me, and every other hour I will release the red thread to let the blood flow for a while, as long as it is properly controlled, it will not cause irreversible damage to the body." "It won't cause irreversible damage, that is, it's just that he is familiar with medical techniques and pharmacology, and he has some understanding of Gu things, and he confidently slows down the power of the damage to the minimum, not that there is no harm at all.
"I have prepared the antidote and continued to take it these days, at that time, I only need to cross this blood Gu into your body, let it capture the puppet Gu, and bring the antidote into your blood, and there should be no further trouble. After you have cultivated for a while and cultivated your blood qi, we can start healing, and as for how many percent of the results can reach, I don't dare to be sure, after all, this is the first time to raise this kind of blood Gu. To try or not to try, the decision is yours. His voice had never been so sincere and sincere, and his attitude towards such medical skills was almost serious, different from the usual leisurely and lazy, "However, I want to remind you that the puppet Gu will invade the ......heart at the first moment after awakening," he stretched out his finger and nodded his forehead, his expression was calm, and his voice was clear: "Then let the blood enter your brain, and finally completely control you, and only obey the orders of the Gu exorcist." ”
Yun Yanzheng had heard such words more than once, and the Gu Master that Qing Yan had found had also reminded her of this. She had a remarkable mind to keep such a terrible threat out of her mind. Since she was a child, except for her mother, who has sincerely cared about her, no one else has really sincerely imagined and worried about her, and she has long been accustomed to acting alone. Later, he and the third brother also depended on each other and cared for each other, but the third brother is now too busy to take care of herself, and she doesn't want to add to his worries, but she has been silently bearing these heavy pressures from all sides.
Looking at her resolute and sturdy expression, a hint of appreciation flashed in Gu Xi's eyes. He knew that a person as resolute and cold as her did not need cheap mercy. And he also thinks that this cheap mercy, which does not help things in any way, cannot change any impending crisis, is of the slightest use to those who are about to suffer.
In addition to the suffering caused by the attack of the enemy country by the people of Wei Kingdom, which also made her remember, and also gave birth to a trace of softness and compassion in her resolute heart, Yun Yanzheng had already made preparations. As long as she felt that the Gu poison was rampant in her body without control, she would never let herself make the slightest choice against her will, and at that time, she would naturally have arranged a secret guard to kill her to the ground to avoid the disaster.
Such a tragedy, Gu Xi was not unexpected. It was only when he expected that she would have such a will to die that he would come up with this healing method so urgently.
"Why did you go out of your way to save me?" Yun Yanzheng unexpectedly asked the center's doubts, and her eyes were blazing, and they were very bright and moving in the candlelight.
"This kind of Gu poison is too yin, I don't want to let it run rampant in the world, so I came up with this method of damaging the enemy by one thousand and self-damaging by eight hundred. You can think of me as an experiment, and maybe I can succeed this time, or maybe I will fail. Gu Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, exuding a cold light that was sharp enough to penetrate the void, and his tone was resolute. Then, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, he whispered softly: "Another reason is that I don't want to suddenly lose a person in this world, so I will feel lonely and bored, and if there is a sudden lack of you in this world, it will become much more boring?" ”
He sighed softly here, but Yun Yanzheng was stunned there.
She never thought that there would be a person in this world who would be bored and bored because of her?
Has she become his fun-seeking rival?
Looking at the thoughtful smile on Yun Yanzheng's elegant and graceful face, Gu Xi unexpectedly remembered the battle of wits and courage between himself and her along the way, as well as the heart-to-heart conversation lying under the pear blossom tree. For a long time, for a long time, no one sat on an equal footing with him like this, looking up at the starry sky calmly, talking and laughing freely. He reminded her casually and gently, "If you feel the pain of paralysis in your left shoulder, be vigilant, that is a sign of the Gu worm's awakening. I must make a decision as soon as possible, and when the Gu worm invades my heart, even if I am a teacher, I will have no skills. ”
Yun Yanzheng couldn't help but laugh, every time he said "as a teacher", she felt that he was insincere, and there was a taste of teasing her.
The moonlight passed through the window and was reflected on the floor in the lobby. The barrier between these two "giving" hearts, which is like an ice mountain, seems to be melting and weakening unconsciously, but they don't know it at the moment.
On the second day, while the enemy army was retreating, the Wei army in Huicheng was repairing and repairing the leaks in order to prepare for the enemy army to attack the city again.
Yun Yanzheng rested a little at night, and in the early morning, he got up again to inspect the defense, sort out all kinds of information, and analyze the situation with the generals. Check the war materials and supplies, and supervise the heavy military salaries. After a busy day, the sun has set, and it is the twilight of another day.
Yun Yanzheng stood at the head of the city, staring at the remnant sun on the horizon like blood, and the twilight clouds were dyed, magnificent and unprovoked. A trace of sadness suddenly rose in her heart, wondering if she could still see such a majestic scenery when he died? I don't know if I will die in a hundred battles, or I will kill myself? I wonder who will dress her in a plain cloth, sprinkle wine on the grave, and sing softly? I don't know if the Yu army will be defeated thousands of miles at that time, and whether the people of Wei have already been spared the suffering of war?
She couldn't help but think of the man who said last night that if there was one less her in this world, he would feel lonely and bored. This person said it so sincerely and flawlessly at that time, even she couldn't tell the truth of his words? Gu Shezhi, Gu Shezhi, can I choose to believe you?
Yun Yanzheng walked down the stairs from the city tower, and when he met Mu Dong who came here, he suddenly remembered that he had never seen Gu Xi on this day. couldn't help but ask, "Do you know where Gu Junshi is at the moment?" ”
Mu Dong paused, his expression was a little strange, and he replied in a low voice: "Yun Shuai, Gu Junshi has not made any movement in the wing room all day today. The subordinates had deliberately listened attentively, and there was only the sound of breathing in the room, and there was no other sound. ”
Yun Yanzheng frowned slightly, could it be that he was really tired like this these days?
"I heard Lin Jun accidentally say that when Gu Junshi met them in Suzhou City, he seemed to have internal injuries on his body, and I wonder if he left a legacy in the battle in the Changyan River?" Mu Dong looked suspicious, and his tone also revealed the worry in Lin Jun's words.
If Gu Xi really had the injuries left over from the last battle on the Changyan River, then the most guilty and uneasy people should be Lin Jun and the others, and Lin Jun and his people would naturally bear the brunt.
Yun Yanzheng bowed her head silently, understood the purpose of Mu Dong telling her, and said softly: "I'll take a look." ”
Mu Dong bowed to her, said no more, and only avoided waiting for her to leave, before continuing to go up to the city to complete his patrol, his true identity could not be disclosed.
Yun Yanzheng strode towards the courtyard where Gu Xi temporarily lived. At this moment, the twilight is desolate, the cold moon is like a knife, but the courtyard here is silent, almost hidden in the darkness. With her eyesight, she walked through the corridor and gently pushed the door of his room, which was already locked inside, and Yun Yanzheng listened with bated breath, and there was only the sound of breathing in the room.
If it was ordinary, she would have moved like this, I was afraid that he should have woken up a long time ago. According to past experience, Yun Yanzheng once again opened the window without thinking.
The last time she came to him to talk about a plan, she naturally wanted to hide it, but this time she didn't need to be so sneaky, and went to find an oil lamp to light on her own.
