Chapter 8: Lethe

Xie Yunsheng said that he would leave, and did not specify the specific return date, and the Ancient Palace suddenly returned to its former calm, as if Xie Yunsheng's appearance of the few hours was just a hallucination in a dream, and he would disperse when he woke up.

Lao Jun has left, Biluo and Concubine are busy with each other, Gu Changan lowered his head, and saw that the white robe was stained with a little blood, so he dared to be sure that he really saw the red-clothed Emperor Yunsheng, who was also Yan Xi in his eyes.

Turning around and entering the house, Gu Changan dutifully took care of the Emperor of the Yuan Qing Dynasty according to Xie Yunsheng's instructions.

At that time, I don't know how many years have passed, and I don't know what year the eternal day in the heavenly court is, and the injuries of the Emperor of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties have been healed. And Gu Changan was also interrogated several times by this gentle emperor, and he told all the big and small life deeds, and the experience of becoming an immortal was detailed and detailed, and he almost retold the conversation between the two that day word for word.

The Emperor of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties single-handedly took care of the affairs of the Three Realms, and he was busy all day long, but he still found time to "talk" with Gu Chang'an, and for a time Gu Chang'an became the object of the entire Heavenly Court's immortals.

Gu Changan took over the job of cleaning Xie Yunsheng's boudoir, and cleaned her boudoir spotlessly, all the furnishings were the same as before she left, the difference was that in the white jade vase on several cases, there were always new flowers picked by Gu Changan, but the flowers on the other side of the bridge were bright red like the dress Xie Yunsheng was wearing that day, bright red like fire, and it was scorching.

On this day, Gu Changan, as usual, went to the Netherworld Mansion to pick the flowers of the Yellow Spring after cleaning Xie Yunsheng's room.

Everyone in the underworld was already very familiar with Gu Chang'an, and when they saw him appear on time, as usual, they nodded and greeted: "Immortal Jun, come to pick flowers again." ”

Gu Changan nodded and smiled, walked steadily to a raised stone by the side of the bridge, and bent his knees to pick flowers.

As soon as his fingertips touched the delicate petals, Gu Changan noticed that something was wrong, there seemed to be something faintly flowing around him, he couldn't see or touch it, it was just a strange breath, but he couldn't move, and there were beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead.

The water of Lethe River was dark and quiet, with a trace of black mist, and a sharp claw suddenly stretched out from the mist, which could drag Gu Changan into the river.

The body was submerged in the water, and the water in Lethe River was very cold, and in an instant, Gu Changan only felt that he was in the middle of the Arctic glacier, and where the river water was felt on his skin, it was as painful as a knife stabbing into it.

By the time he used his mana to protect his body and opened his eyes, the monster was long gone. Rowing his arms, Gu Changan slowly dived.

Finally climbed to the shore, Gu Changan breathed a long sigh of relief and began to squeeze the water on his robe. Suddenly, he saw something hanging on the placket of his clothes, and when he took it down, it was a small piece of cloth, red as smooth and soft as silk, and on that small corner of the cloth, there was a golden silk phoenix embroidered, lifelike.

This is...... Gu Changan's eyes shrank, this is clearly Xie Yunsheng's clothing material, there is only one in heaven and earth, it is easy to recognize.

Jumping forward, Gu Changan dived underwater again. This time he had already prepared, he had already laid out the barrier, although it was still cold and biting in the water, and the cold river water and resentful spirits made it very difficult for him to open his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Lethe River is bottomless, stretching thousands of miles away, Gu Changan has been diving forward, his eyes are constantly searching, but he only sees the ghost fish and dark aquatic plants in the river, where is Xie Yunsheng's shadow, not even the monster that dragged him into the water.

Suddenly, Gu Changan found something unusual, the Lethe River was barren, and there were no living creatures in the river area he was in, not even a single aquatic weed. After another moment, Gu Chang'an flashed a faint blue light not far away, and he didn't have time to think about it before he struggled forward. The light became more and more dazzling and louder, Gu Changan only felt that his body was no longer under his control, and he was sucked into the light in a whirlwind.

When Gu Changan opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer in the water of Lethe, but on land. Although he didn't know where it was or why he came here, he had a hunch in his heart that he was getting closer and closer to Xie Yunsheng.

It was full of dense trees and low shrubs, and he couldn't tell the direction and couldn't make a road, so Gu Changan didn't know where to go.

What the hell is this place? The blue light at the bottom of the Lethe River seems to be an enchantment, and this is the place at this end of the enchantment. When Gu Changan was in the Heavenly Court, in addition to cultivating the Immortal Law, the most time he spent was reading books, he had almost read the literary collections of the Heavenly Court Library Pavilion, and he had also read a lot of the secret history of the Three Realms, but he never knew that there was such a place.

Perhaps, that enchantment was set up by Xie Yunsheng? Gu Changan thought about it and found that only this explanation was the most reasonable. Xie Yunsheng must have been to Lethe, and what happened caused his clothes to be torn, so that the clothes fell into Lethe, and Xie Yunsheng opened the door of the enchantment at the bottom of the river.

It's just that what is all this for? Gu Changan didn't know.

A few days ago, Gu Changan followed Lao Jun to learn the art of alchemy for a few days, and Lao Jun taught him several secret techniques by the way, one of which is called the art of searching, which is used to find people and things.

Looking at the corner of the clothes in his hand, Gu Changan used the technique of searching, and his divine sense followed the smell of the fabric, going around and around, looking for and seeking, and he finally saw the person.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Changan was already standing in front of Xie Yunsheng.

Xie Yunsheng sat cross-legged, his face was calm, the aura around him was surging, and the red aura was disturbing and entangled, endless. Most of the aura converged on Guangsheng, who was lying beside her, and red entered his mouth and nose like silk threads.

Guang Sheng's face was pale, his aura was weak, and the dark purple Emperor Monarch mark on his forehead had also turned light purple, and with the infusion of spiritual energy, the mark shone brightly, and the purple halo gradually enveloped Guang Sheng.

Emperor Guangsheng seemed to be injured a lot, Gu Changan thought so, but he didn't dare to move, just stood quietly, looking at the water-red figure.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Changan only felt that the red lotus on Xie Yunsheng's forehead had dimmed a lot, and the three-leaf mark on Guangsheng's forehead had finally returned to deep purple, and his face had become ruddy.

"Is that you?"

Gu Changan heard a soft question, his eyes moved from Guang Sheng's body to Xie Yunsheng's face, and he was slightly relieved to see that she was improving as usual, and she did not see weakness.

With a smile, Gu Changan said: "The emperor is fine, and Chang'an will be relieved." ”

Xie Yunsheng squinted his eyes, the expression in his eyes was uncertain, and he turned to look at Guangsheng, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, it seemed that the strength of the three emperors of the demon world had increased greatly, and they actually injured Yuan Qing and Guangsheng one after another.

She can't swallow this breath, but she can't act hastily, but in the future, she will always get it back!

Picking up Guangsheng, Xie Yunsheng lightly touched his forehead, and the purple light flashed, only to see Guangsheng's eyes move, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes slightly.

Xie Yunsheng hooked his lips and said softly: "You scared me to death." There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone, his red lips were seductive, and his breath was like an orchid, Guangsheng was like this as soon as he opened his eyes, there was beauty on the side, he intuitively felt that his heart was hot, and his eyes couldn't help but soften a little.

Although Gu Changan had many questions in his heart, he also knew that this matter was important, and it was not for him, a little immortal, to ask, so he kept silent and snorted lightly on the tip of his nose, which had already reminded the two emperors with affection and his existence.

Guangsheng turned his head sideways, and when he saw Gu Changan, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, this little fairy looks like a human dog, but who is he?

"Ahem...... That one...... Gu Changan, you come over to take care of Guangsheng, he can't move for the time being," When Gu Changan helped Guangsheng and Guangsheng leaned on him, Xie Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Guangsheng, I'll go and discuss with Yuan Qing, remember to be careful when you go back later, your spiritual power is still unstable." ”

As he spoke, Xie Yunsheng took out a colorful glass gourd from his arms and handed it to Gu Changan, instructing him to feed it to Guangsheng for a while, and then disappeared with a "whoosh".

After Yuan Qing received Xie Yunsheng's news, he came to the Ancient Palace to wait, as soon as Xie Yunsheng entered the heavenly court, he knew that as soon as the two met, they entered the study, closed the door and went down the enchantment, I don't know what to say inside.

During this period, many immortals and fairies asked to see them, but they were all blocked back by Biluo and their concubines.

The concubine used her fingers to bucket Biluo's waist, and asked sideways, "Sister Biluo, can you see Gu Changan today?"

Biluo shook his head, picked up the tea cup on the stone table and took a big sip, thought about today's events, and found that there was indeed no figure of Gu Changan, so he couldn't help frowning and said: "I haven't seen it either, but every day he will go to the Lechuan River to pick flowers, maybe something delayed?"

The concubine nodded, for some reason, she always felt that there was something between the emperor and Gu Changan, not that there were those things that were entangled, but the emperor and Gu Changan seemed to know each other, and they paid some extraordinary attention to Gu Changan. It's just my aunt's instinct, but her instincts have always been accurate.

Until Gu Changan came back with Emperor Guangsheng, who had not yet fully recovered, Xie Yunsheng and Yuan Qing did not come out of the study.

Gu Changan helped Guangsheng sit down on the stone chair, Bi Luo went to inform Lao Jun and Si Ming, and the concubine went to prepare refreshments smartly.

There were only two people left in the pavilion, Gu Changan and Guangsheng, Guangsheng supported his chin and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, while Gu Changan frowned: The other side of the flower!

After looking at Wang Sheng and seeing that he was fine, Gu Changan opened his legs and rushed to the underworld as fast as he could.

When Gu Changan inserted the flower on the other side into the white jade bottle, he happened to see Xie Yunsheng and Yuan Qing walking in front of the dormitory.

"Hey, Guangsheng is back! Lao Jun is also here, quick, show Guangsheng!" Xie Yunsheng was still talking to Yuan Qing, and as soon as he walked around the corner, he saw Guangsheng sitting in the gazebo not far away, and Lao Jun turned slowly from the other side, just meeting Xie Yunsheng's gaze.

Yuan Qing followed Xie Yunsheng into the pavilion, sat down on the stone bench, and just happened to bring refreshments over, after tasting tea, seeing that Lao Jun had already checked the pulse for Guangsheng, he asked: "How, Guangsheng is in a big problem?" The fragrance of lingering tea leaves wrapped around the tip of his nose, and the blue droplet-shaped mark on Yuan Qing's forehead surged up with a trace of white mist, which looked even more brilliant.

Lao Jun lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yuan Qing, and his eyes fell on Xie Yunsheng, who was eating, touched his beard and said, "It's okay, take a few pills, and you will be fine after a few years." As for Emperor Yunsheng, the loss of spiritual power is too much, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be replenished in a short period of time, so I have to cultivate the solid foundation every day, oh, the three emperors have to do it every day, and only by consolidating the foundation can we cultivate the source. With that, Lao Jun took out a handful of gourds from the treasure bag, distributed them to a few people, and then fled.
