58. Life and death
Less than half an hour later, Ling Ji still used her internal force to unravel the sealed acupuncture points as slowly as thin flowing water in a spring.
Thinking in her heart, the officials and soldiers of the Privy Council and the Third Division were being raised, and soon they would come here, and she had to take advantage of the fact that she would conduct one last search of the Ghost Valley before they came, the most important thing was the Quiet Pavilion of the adult's bedroom and the wall palace where the adults retreated, Lingji moved four or five steps away, looked back at the bamboo tablet, sighed a long sigh, and said decisively: "I will definitely kill Yehime." ”
And here Lang Ji and Rong Quan carefully inspected every corner of the Ghost Palace, and this will lead to a fresh room, the layout and furnishings in the room are particularly attractive, and I can't help but sigh that all the appearances reflect the soft temperament and pure nature of Lingji's body without dust.
Books may be the main tool for her to strengthen her life, and they are also an important support for her persistence in Ghost Valley. ”
"I can still insist on myself under oppression, I don't know how much she has been wronged and tortured. ”
"All the goals are gathered on the spirit messenger, the secret? everyone is firmly in the spirit messenger, she is the key to unlock the secret power behind it. ”
"Use the key to open the dark door?" Lang Ji paused, and then said: "Ling Ji is just a chess piece in the hands of the Ghost King, but this chess piece has mobilized the entire martial arts. So far, I can't let go of the things that I don't understand for a long time, why is it Lingji, and what is her identity?"
"I'm wondering what the hell is the reason for, and who is the Spirit Messenger?"
"Let's not talk about it yet, let's go find the ghost king's residence. ”
That's exactly what I mean. ”
When it was empty, Lingji looked around and flipped through again, but still didn't find anything. She also guessed that before the war, she collected all the secrets for the enemy, which was to prevent the strategy of feeding the war with war.
There is still some regret and despair when I go back empty-handed.
After several battles, the internal strength of the Qi Sect was lost, and then went to the Jing Pavilion, if there was no clue, he left early to recuperate.
Luck fell in front of Lang Yu in front of their eyes, under the desk in the ghost king's study, they found a secret passage, Rong Quan casually touched the mechanism button in the edge of the table under the table, and then activated the secret passage, the heavy book compartment was disconnected from the middle and moved to both sides, and after approaching, they found that there was only a wooden board that could accommodate one person, the two opened the plank, and the two walked down the passage, it was a dark and damp hidden staircase, along the sheep farm path until there was no way out, a narrow waterfall hidden in the mezzanine poured from the sky, and a figure could be seen inside vaguely when he looked at it, and after approaching, Lang Yu said: "The man looked like an acquaintance. ”
Rong Quan took a closer look and said, "It's Leng Ji, the envoy of the shadows." ”
"No, who's out there?"
"It's obviously a fake, remember what Ling Ji said when she questioned Leng Ji?"
"It looks like that's the real thing. ”
Lang Ji grabbed Rong Quan and found a corner to dodge, and picked up more than a dozen small stones and threw them at the pool of water one after another, but unexpectedly, countless chaotic swords shot out around, the fog was thick, and the poisonous gas was heavy, and after a quarter of an hour, the short sword was exhausted, the obstacle disappeared, and the two stood in front of the stone wall.
I only heard a pale and weak white voice, intermittent: "You...... Guys...... No...... Yahime. ”
Breathless, low and hoarse, it is obviously an old man who is approaching his twilight years.
Return: "In Xia Langyu." ”
"In the lower Rongquan. ”
"Where's Lingji?"
After Lang Ji and Rong Quan looked at each other, they dragged him out of this corner of the place, as they could see, this person was emaciated and yellow, ragged, unkempt, sour, and filthy, which made people unbearable for their eyes, unbearable for their noses, and even more resistant to their hearts. However, no matter how invisible, he could recognize that he had a face that was exactly the same as that of the Shadow Messenger.
In order to ensure that there was no doubt about the guess, he said: "You are Leng Ji." ”
Seeing the throat of the neck throbbing with difficulty, it took a while to spit out a word: "Yes." ”
Wanting to investigate it in detail, Rong Quan shook his head and signaled not to ask more, and then the two carried Leng Ji out of the Ghost Valley and took it to Wan Qi's mansion for treatment and recuperation.
Less than half an hour after leaving, the mighty officers and soldiers went into the valley to clean up and put things in order.
——
In the evening, Wan Jicheng invited Murong Yi to ask and treat Leng Ji, saying: "The cold and dampness penetrate deep into the flesh and blood, the cold corrodes the internal organs, and over the years, it has been damaged eight or nine times out of ten, the body has collapsed, and there is no sign of life in life, even if you enjoy the best and purest herbal treatment in the world, your life will not last for a month." Surprisingly, he seems to have been conspired to take a deadly poison, and his chances of survival are greatly reduced. ”
"How long do you live?"
"Just for one or two days. If the poison strikes, life is instantaneous. ”
Lang Yu asked, "What poison?"
"The Poison King's Poison Thousand Mustard Order. ”
"The Order of a Thousand Mustards?"
"The rules of the King of Tumors, one poison and one medicine. Murong Yi is only a shallow learner, and he has no skills to return to the sky. ”
Rong Quan said: "That mouthful of three heads can cure ten thousand poisons, you can try it." ”
"One mouthful and three tongues are the only detoxification artifact in the world where the Cancer King exists, even if it is rare, the key is that the few bottles are in the hands of others. I found it from the waist of the Fire Palace Lord, and several of us took it, and there was not a single pill left. ”
"What then?"
"He had to stay alive with the only medicine he had. ”
Wan Qiyun asked, "Then wait until he wakes up." But you have to take good care of him, and if there is any change, treat him quickly. ”
"Got it. ”
Wan Qiyun left.
Lang Ji said: "If you can endure until now, it means that there must be a belief in your heart that supports him to this day." ”
Rong Quan said with a smile: "The person he has been thinking about is Lingji. ”
Murong Hao said, "It's this spirit messenger again. ”
Rong Quan said: "It looks like he is awake, and we have a story to hear." ”
Murong Hao replied, "I hope to provide us with some reliable information. ”
Murong Yu waited in the room, and Lang Ji and Rong Quan waited in the verandah outside the room, but they all believed that Ling Ji would come, and this was why they stayed here.
————
Others search, it is equivalent to solving things for themselves, Lingji is a smart person, waiting for the rabbit at the main gate of Ghost Valley, but the moment she saw Leng Ji rescued, she was so excited that her heart was twisting and trembling, the handsome young handsome young man who used to be handsome and free was tortured into a sick and bad old man, and the pain of collapse made Lingji short of breath, as if she had the ...... of dying. Measuring her current predicament, she couldn't take care of herself, how could she have the extra strength and energy to save Leng Ji, but when she fell into the hands of Langji and them, she was also very relieved, and then she returned to Xuanpu alone to recover her strength.
_________
In the middle of the night, Lingji returned to normal, sneaked into Wan Qi's mansion, hid in a hidden place, and saw Langji and Rongquan humming wine in the verandah from a distance, a harmonious atmosphere, I really felt that these two people really got along.
"Brother Lang Yu drink less, I'll see someone later." ”
"Did you say she saw us?"
"I don't know, but I know he'll come if he sees it. ”
"If you have concerns, you will naturally come. ”
As he was talking, Murong Hao ran out and said nervously and excitedly: "Two sons, that person is awake." ”
After looking at each other, the cup in his hand was placed on the long stone chair, and they entered the room together, the five fingers of the person curled up slightly slowly stretched, the fingers kept shaking, and the eyes gradually opened, and he was slightly panicked when he saw the stranger of us, and his whole body turned towards the bed, with his back to us.
Lang Yu said: "Don't be afraid, this is Wan Qian's mansion, Wan Qian's mansion." ”
Murong Hao said: "Everyone in the world knows that Wan Qicheng, as the leader of the alliance, is upright and upright, and you are the safest here." ”
The man turned around with difficulty, and saw his eyes rolling in his sockets, thinking about our words, and looking up and down at us strangers, and his frightened eyes gradually became unflustered again. Seeing that he was twisting his body to sit up, Murong Hao had the action to help, but the man said, "Don't ...... , touch me, I ...... It's dirty. ”
The self-esteem under the misery is pitiful, but the self-esteem under the misery is also noble, and Murong Hao did not move.
His body twisted and flipped many times, and he finally sat up, leaning against the wall, and he could see the relaxed state after the exertion of physical strength, and he finally calmed down.
Intermittently: "You ...... Attack...... Under...... , Ghost Valley?"
After being imprisoned in a dark place for a long time, no one communicated with him, and the hearts of the people under the closure were also blocked, and Murong He sprouted a lot of sympathy and pity.
"We all know that you are the Leng Ji who is there, but we don't want to hide it from you, we did capture Ghost Valley, and the Ghost King Yeji escaped. ”
Hearing this, he began to be nervous and anxious again, and said excitedly: "Then, that, what about Lingji......? , where did she go?"
The crowd was silent, not wanting to hide it, and said, "We want to find her too." ”
Leng Ji drooped, and she looked declining again.
Lang Ji knew that Leng Ji cared about Ling Ji, and comforted: "She is out alone and has not been used by the Ghost King. ”
"That's... and she's now... Where?"
"Brother Rongquan and I searched all over Ghost Valley but couldn't find her. ”
"Xuan... Garden. ”
Before, Rong Quan and Lang Ji passed through the depths of the bamboo forest, but did not find the entrance, so they turned back, and must have said the location behind the ghost valley, and said: "Xuanpu? ”
Leng Ji nodded again and again.
"No... , Lingji, you... , which cannot be found. ”
At this moment, Lang Ji asked, "Who is Leng Ji outside?"
"He's ...... , it was Yahime-sama...... A murderous man in the seat... Killer. ”
"Killer?"
In our frequent conversations, we became more and more fluent in speech and narration, and gradually restored the barrier to speech.
"He is a native of the Southern Barbarians, surnamed Fang... It's called a gap, and it's an adult... Pick up from a private heap... Up one of the most inferior... Cheap life. ”
"Then let him take your place and you as the person. ”
"Yes. ”
At that time, he was still a child, an innocent, happy and free child, who could be destroyed to such an extent, really did not care about the goodness of human nature, and there was only one reason for such a tragic scene, that is, he must have spied on an unknown secret, so he was ruthlessly attacked.
"You've discovered her secret. ”
Recalling the past, Leng Ji's color changed abruptly, and she was particularly dignified.
Rong Quan, who was standing beside him, suddenly felt that his heart was blocked, listening to pessimistic stories would make people fall into a state of misanthropy or negative about the world, he was a person who had experienced the bloody rain and bloody wind, and saw the experience of the warmth and coldness of the world, and was born introverted and indifferent, and the original accumulation and unbearable emotions were almost out of breath, and now he had to listen carefully to this kind of tragic story, how could people have hope for this world?
"That day with Lingji... After parting, I thought... If you want to surprise Lingji, you'll be alone... Go tell Yahime-sama that tomorrow is... Lingji's birthday, please tell me if it is according to the past... rules, I never thought I happened to hear an adult and a strange man... The secret chat is about Liuji Mianlian. ”
As soon as they heard these four words, the hearts of the three of them were pounding, and they said in unison: "Liuji Mianlian?"
"Your expressions make me understand... The fall of Ghost Valley today... All because of Liuji Mianlian... and caused. ”
Seeing that the man was calm and calm, Lang Ji asked rhetorically, "Then you know?"
"I don't know, but my lord maybe... , maybe know a thing or two. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"I only heard that Liuji Mianlian... There are martial arts cheats and... , and the treasure map, but as long as you get it, you can sweep through the army and win the world. The only thing that isn't certain is... At that time, my martial arts internal strength was beyond their reach, and the change in aura was noticed, and I thought that if I escaped, it would be just right... Exactly proof that I heard their... Plotting, I simply responded calmly, but I never thought that the man didn't make a move, and it was Yahime-sama who subdued me. ”
Rong Quan said: "You have encountered ** lake. ”
"Yes. The man had never seen it before, and it was not from the valley at all. See him naked... The texture of the sleeve material on the outside is not at all... It's not just an ordinary family that can buy it... standards. ”
Murong Hao asked anxiously, "What about after that?"
"I thought that the adults would think that I was just a child and my subordinates, but she broke my hands and tendons without thinking, and the man covered my mouth with both hands, and shrunk the square scarf into a ball to block my mouth, and the tears after the pain poured down instantly, and I fainted when I couldn't get up in a breath under the unbearable suffering. When I woke up, I was in the dark, dark, damp, wet cavern, and I couldn't move. ”
Murong Hao was as absorbed as if listening to a story, and when he entered, tears flowed down, and he asked, "It's too cruel, what about later?"
"On the first day there was no food, on the second day there was no food, and on the third day there was no food...... , has been without food for more than a month, in the struggle slowly exhausted the luxury of hope, in the resistance gradually let himself abandon the pride and dignity of the past. In order to survive, I dragged my disabled body and fell headlong into that pool, drank the raw water in the pool, and ate the raw fish in the pool, so that my life was extended. The water in the pool was as clear as the stream outside, so that it did not smell as sour as I did. ”
Murong Hao asked urgently, "What about winter?"
"It's bitterly cold in winter, and I can only rely on internal force for protection, and after a long time, the internal force is exhausted and I have to shrink into a ball and have nothing to do, only waiting for the king of Hades to collect my soul. ”
Lang Yu said: "But in the end, someone came." ”
"That man was False Leng Ji, who not only beat me violently, but also denounced and insulted me, and when he left, he threw down a few beggars' clothes and quilts that he had picked up from the market, and with these alms I had survived to this day. ”
Rong Quan said, "Didn't the Ghost King ever visit you?"
"She would never be in such a filthy place. It's just for people to talk, and if I leak the secret, let ...... , just torture the necromancer, for her, I can endure no matter how much destruction and torture I suffer. ”
As he was talking, a woman came in outside, it was Lingji, he heard all our conversations at the door, and he had already been crying silently.
Lingji's arrival made Wan Qicheng, who came here, stop his pace and become a serious listener, but Wan Qicheng was also moved, and silently followed in, waving to everyone not to be surprised.
She just walked in quietly, sat on the edge of the bed, held Leng Ji's face with both hands, and sobbed: "Actually, when that fake Leng Ji appeared in front of me, I didn't notice it at first, because his words and deeds were basically the same as yours, but then I felt more and more that there seemed to be some shortcomings, and slowly got along, only to find out that this Leng Ji was fake, but who should tell this kind of doubt and confirmation? Who will believe it? Later, Sister Su Xi, Brother Manzhu and Sister Shahua also discovered the similarities and differences, only Sister Suxi dared to question the fake Leng Ji in person, but she never wanted to be abused and scolded by adults. ”
"Where's Su Xi?"
It hurts more than it hurts.
Seeing Lingji's heavy expression, her eyes flickered three or four times unconsciously, and she knew that something was wrong, and said, "Is she dead?"
A word 'death', Ling Ji couldn't help but let out a soft ** sound, and nodded again and again.
Lang Yu said: "Killed by a mysterious person, Miss Suxi also died in order to save Lingji under the poisonous claws. ”
Rong Quan sighed: "The sisterhood is deeply admirable, under the confrontation that day, the man in black suddenly appeared and couldn't hide so he didn't have a chance to save Miss Suxi, I was ashamed of myself afterwards, I'm really sorry." ”
The language and feelings were so kind, and he wondered, "Lingji, do you know each other?"
"Yes, they captured Ghost Valley, and they saved you. ”
Saying that, Leng Ji dragged her heavy body to make a big salute, but was supported by Murong He and said: "You can be sober all by perseverance, you should be happy to see Lingji now, save you to go out of the rivers and lakes morality, you don't have to do this big gift." Besides, it is everyone's duty to save people. ”
Seeing that Leng Ji had this intention and couldn't do anything, Ling Ji knelt on the ground and made three big salutes, and others couldn't stop him.
"Ling Ji instead of Leng Ji, thank you for your life-saving grace. ”
After saluting, Murong Hao picked up Ling Ji and said, "What are your plans for the future?"
"Let's go home together. ”
Everyone said in unison: "Go home?"
Lang Yu's mind was too clear, and he asked urgently: "I'll send someone to escort you." ”
"No, I'm with Lingji. ”
Murong Yu saw Lang Yu frowning and wincing, and understood: "But your injuries haven't healed yet." ”
"Leng Ji, Miss Murong is the holy doctor of the world. ”
"I know that the destiny of heaven is not long, so why waste precious medicinal materials, and the rest of my life is just looking forward to living a light and ordinary life with Lingji. ”
"This is not good, you are our nobleman, and you are also an important person for us to uncover the mystery, I must cure your evil disease. ”
Leng Ji saw that the entrant Ji Yuxuan was in a righteous and awe-inspiring state, and he talked with a very benevolent heart, and only after reporting his name did he know that he was the world's most famous gentleman Wan Qiyun.
"Both public and private, Leng Ji should stay in the old man's mansion to recuperate, and then talk about important matters when her body recovers. ”
"For the public of the world, what about the private?"
"For the public of the world, it is the selfishness of the old man, and it is also the selfishness of everyone present. ”
Lingji said softly: "What the alliance leader said is that if you go home with bruises all over your body, your father and mother will definitely be sad when you see it, and when your body is well, we will go home together." ”
Leng Ji used to go home and get out of here, this is just prevarication. Away from home for many years, my father's expectation is that he must wait for his recovery before he can go home, but his life is not long at all, before the war, the rare guest Yeji visited, let himself drink a cup of poison, but two or three days is the period of death.
Leng Ji compromised a little and said, "You can stay, but I just need Lingji to accompany me." ”
"Okay, the old man agreed. ”
In this way, Lingji took care of Leng Ji in every detail, except for peeing and, Lang Ji and Rong Quan looked at it and doubted it in their hearts.
"Bathing him, dressing him, feeding him, chatting with him, they must be a beautiful pair of wall people. ”
"Brother Lang Yu is obviously jealous. ”
"You're not the same, peeking out of the window from time to time, and I guess it's not comfortable. ”
"Even if they are a pair made in heaven, they still have to face life and death in the end, and live in different worlds. ”
"You can see through it. ”
"It's just self-soothing and keeping your thoughts from flying. ”
"Love the house and Wu, I hope he can enjoy this short period of beauty. ”
"The spirit messenger has done a good job. ”
————
In the middle of the night, Leng Ji was poisoned and convulsed, not only the body, but also the internal organs were also expanding and boiling in the body, the qi and blood did not know what force was absorbed, and his face became more and more white like a dead man, and the pain was so painful that he rolled to the ground and collided everywhere, so frightened that Lingji hugged Leng Ji tightly and said: "Leng Ji, Leng Ji, I am Lingji, I am Lingji." ”
When he heard this, he was quiet for a while, and began to scream and roar.
"You must hold on, you promised me to go home together, live together, never separate, never separate. ”
Everyone rushed to hear the sound, only to see that Leng Ji's face was full of blood, Ling Ji hugged his head tightly, and shouted in pain: "Leng Ji, let's go home now, I beg you not to leave me alone, okay?"
"Let's go home, I'll go pack up and see my father and mother, okay?"
After hearing this, Leng Ji calmed down a little, and his will made him no longer go crazy and hurt himself, it was too tormenting, he bit Ling Ji's shoulder, and ** fiercely, the snow-white plain clothes were rendered by blood for a while.
Knowing that death was approaching, Leng Ji suddenly became very calm, and her angular face was so beautiful, but now it was so ....... His whole body has been shaking, can only hear the sound of heavy grinding of the upper and lower teeth, he has been staring at Lingji, shed two lines of male tears directly to his lips, he gently kissed Lingji's lips, dragonfly water, let the Langji and Rongquan in front of him feel reborn, Leng Ji's back Lingji's hands shook and fell naturally, fixed eyes looking at Leng Ji, Leng Ji removed her lips, that pair of gentle eyes containing love, Lingji will never forget. Lingji held Leng Ji's shoulders and pulled her out of her body, only to see Leng Ji's mouth flowing blood, and when she opened her jaw, she realized that he had committed suicide by biting his tongue alive, Lingji was dumbfounded, and the heavy body slowly fell to the ground, and her heart was broken with a bang, and she shouted heartbreakingly: "Brother, brother, ......." ”
The fight and companionship were endless, and Lingji had already lost her appearance, and fainted directly after this scream.
With a brother, Lang Yu and Rong Quan let go of their hearts, but their doubts are still unabated, even if they are brothers and sisters, they can't kiss their lips?
