Chapter 123: The Best Choice
Xie Zhao woke up from a dream and almost experienced the earth-shattering night in a nightmare.
So much so that when she woke up, the whole person still looked dull.
She was like a rusty trap wheel, trying to turn the gears but failing to start.
In the kiln next to the bed, something was simmering over a low fire.
Xie Zhao tilted his head and sniffed it, the taste was okay, not pungent.
It seems to be a variety of Chinese herbs of unknown origin that regulate qi and nourish the body.
She snorted softly, not knowing what kind of madness Nanxu was having.
Since he knew that the poison she was carrying was a "sad flower and a broken moon", he should know that if he did these useless works again, it would not be of any effect.
- What's more, she also made a very new type of death, forcibly reversing the meridians and using force, so that the poison had already spread to the whole body.
Perhaps because the news that Xie Zhao was still alive was not suitable for people to know, the entire Zhaohua Hall in the Shentai Palace was silent, and there was no one else except her.
She slowly rolled over to prop herself up, and it felt pretty good?
Not to mention, but after only one night, she actually felt that her body at this time was much more comfortable than when she was injured again yesterday because of the "oolong" heart.
I think it was Nanxu who gave her a lot of true qi in her body when she was drowsy and asleep.
In line with the principle that the high priest does not take advantage of nothing, Xie Zhao has a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and there is no psychological burden.
She decided to take advantage of Nanxu's absence and quietly leave this place.
This place should not be stayed for a long time, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?
But as soon as her feet landed on the carpet on the floor, the hidden invisible circle laid in the room suddenly began to rattle.
The next moment, a pleasant wind chime was affected by the air flow in the room, accompanied by the sound of the window.
The sound is clear, but the movement is really not small.
Xie Zhao put his hand on his forehead, tapped his eyes, and said helplessly:
"When did your vigilance start to become so strong?"
Nanxu pushed the door and entered, glancing at her coolly.
He said noncommittally: "Then I have to ask you since when you became so ignorant." ”
Xie Zhao attempted to escape, but he didn't feel embarrassed.
She calmly spread her arms, palms up, and looked obedient as she encountered.
"Your Excellency Priest has a lot of opportunities, so why waste the world and your energy and keep an eye on me, an idler?"
Bone injuries and visceral injuries have always been inflicted, and it is extremely difficult to heal them fundamentally.
Although Xie Zhao's external injuries have already healed, he looks no different from someone who is fine.
But only she knows that after that experience, her body has long been worse than before.
There are countless sequelae such as feeling chills, often tired, dreaming but heavy after falling asleep, difficult to wake up, lack of energy, and decreased vigilance.
But fortunately, these are harmless and life-safe trivial matters, and there is no big problem.
She leaned back on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he raised his eyebrows and sighed casually, and said, "I really have to go, and if I don't go back, there will be people worried." ”
She didn't return yesterday for a day and a night, this was a situation that had never happened before, presumably Ling He and Han Changsheng must have been in a hurry.
Especially in Ling He's heart, he has silently decided that she is the thief who steals the "Golden Terrace" without knowing whether she is alive or dead, and she is a person who has a "criminal record" and may be caught and killed by the bitter master at any time if she doesn't get home, but I'm afraid that they will go crazy at this time.
Today, she must go back to the Li Mansion.
Nanxu's eyes were gloomy, and he suddenly said:
"Go back? Afraid of worrying about people? It turns out that the 'Chitose Sword Immortal' Fu Jingzi is also a person with a long heart, I thought you never knew that others would be worried.
Yesterday it happened suddenly, and you were not very conscious and in poor condition, so there were some words that I held back and did not speak.
Since you have spoken of this today, I have two questions for you. ”
The high priest of Shentai Palace spoke in a calm and not high-spirited tone at this time, but there was a vague sense of stormy waves that were about to come.
Xie Zhao waved casually and comforted him:
"Nanxu, look at you, what are you angry about. Master said before, you look cold, but in fact, you have a lot of temperament, so it is not good for practicing divination. ”
Nanxu ignored her interruption and continued coldly: "The first question, on the night of the incident, you were able to escape from the city that never sleeps, why didn't you return to Shentai Palace?"
The second question, since you have come back now, why do you have to dig out your mind to leave, is there any place in the four realms of the world that can protect you more than Shentai Palace?
Or have you had enough of your good life, and you want to live a life of suffering and suffering outside and being displaced? ”
The smile on Xie Zhao's face gradually faded at some point.
After a moment, she suddenly lowered her head slightly and gave a slight "snort", then shook her head and smiled very softly.
The eyebrows and eyes of the "Chitose Sword Immortal" that were once looking forward to the brilliance fell on Nanxu's face from the bottom up, and said lightly:
"Nanxu, I thought that both of us were smart people, so we knew some things, but there was no need to say them so clearly."
Nanxu frowned, and his eyes moved slightly imperceptibly.
"What do you mean?"
Xie Zhao sighed softly.
"Nanxu, so many years have passed, and the days are not long, and they are not short.
You and I practice together, guarding this Shentai Palace together, you are familiar with me, just as I am familiar with you.
You don't think I'm so stupid that I still don't even notice it. ”
Nanxu's narrow eyes moved slightly, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he fell on Xie Zhao's face quietly, and his eyes dimmed a little.
Xie Zhao's gaze did not continue to look at him.
She only bowed her head slightly, a faint hint of disappointment flashing between her drooping pupils.
She quietly looked at her thin and well-defined fingers spread out in front of her, and continued in a flat tone:
"According to the old rites of the Shentai Palace and the personal habits of the High Priest of Nanxu, on the first day of the first lunar month of each year, you will draw the power of the stars in the Tower Temple to launch the star harvesting technique to see if there is any abnormality in the stars in the following year.
And the main object of your astrological observation is naturally the few people who will affect the situation of the Southern Dynasties.
I want to come to Jing'an on the first day of the third year of the new year, and you have already discovered that my life star will show a great omen a few days later, but you"
Xie Zhao paused slightly for a moment, and then laughed and made up.
"They didn't tell me."
Nanxu's gaze is deposited like water.
He didn't affirm or deny, just quietly listened to her continue.
"Shentai Palace is located on the outskirts of Zhaoge City, and it is only more than 100 miles away from the city that never sleeps.
If you really want to warn me...... You don't even need to leave the Shentai Palace to go to Zhaoge in person, just a flying pigeon to pass the book.
For five days, I will definitely receive it before the fifth day of the first month. ”
When Xie Zhao said this, there was no hatred in his eyes.
Her open-mindedness as if it had long been "none of her business", if uninformed others heard it, they would think that what she said was just something that happened to others, not about herself.
"But you didn't. It's not that it's too late, it's that I don't want to say it. Is that right?
So, regarding the first question you asked, I think that's the answer.
As for the second one, I don't think I need to answer it again, right? ”
Although he didn't know why Nanxu hid her about her deviation from her life star and the dying of her stars, he did keep silent and let everything happen.
For her, who was seriously injured later and had almost no internal strength, is Shentai Palace really still the safest place?
Xie Zhao didn't know, and he didn't want to know now.
So being in the rivers and lakes was not the best choice she could make at that time.
