Chapter Seventy-Four: The Imminent Death of Man
"Sounds reasonable. Tang Zixi nodded, then frowned again, "Isn't he worried that you won't listen to his orders after you escape?"
Originally, she just asked casually, but she didn't expect Ji Ting to suddenly shrink her body and say with a frightened face: "Before leaving, he gave me a Gu worm and told me that if I had other thoughts, I would be able to survive and die." I don't believe in evil, and the result is miserable...... You don't know how terrible the taste of the Gu worm attack is, so terrible that you can't imagine it. It's like ...... It's like ......"
She didn't say anything for a long time, and Tang Zixi interrupted a little impatiently: "No need to describe it, I know what a Gu worm is." This kind of harmful thing should not have appeared at all. Speaking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, one day, I will destroy all the Gu worms in the world!"
The reason why Miss Tang was so excited was entirely because she had been tricked when she was in Liangzhou, and the situation at that time could be described as a line of life and death. If Yun Xiu hadn't rescued his little uncle Diao Li, she wouldn't have known where to reincarnate a long time ago. Although she picked up a life, she will never forget the heart-piercing and out-and-out pain in her life. So when she mentioned Gu worms, her heart was full of resentment and anger.
Ji Ting naturally didn't know about these past events, and thought that she thought she was lying, so she hurriedly explained: "What I said is true. At that time, he also said that if it weren't for the high stakes, he wouldn't have used the precious 'puppet Gu' on me at all. He also said that this Gu refining was not easy, and it took ......"
"What did you say?" Tang Zixi rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed Ji Ting's shirt and asked, "Did he really say it was a 'puppet Gu'?"
Ji Ting was taken aback by her reaction, and nodded hurriedly: "My life is in your hands, how dare you lie." That's exactly what he said at the time. ”
"What else did he say?" Tang Zixi grabbed his hand and began to tremble, obviously extremely excited. She didn't expect that the person who plotted against her would actually lurk in the palace.
Ji Ting was a little out of breath due to the tight collar, her face and neck were flushed, and she said with difficulty: "He also said that once the puppet Gu enters the host's body, it will never be removed." Even if someone with deep internal strength can forcibly drive the Gu worms out of the body, those eggs left in the body cannot be killed by external force. Unless ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Unless what?
Ji Ting had been strangled so much that she couldn't even speak this time, and she was pointing at her neck while screaming, and her eyes began to roll her eyes constantly.
Only then did Tang Zixi notice that he was about to cut off the other party's breath, and hurriedly let go of his hand.
At the beginning, the woman in white who rescued her had said before solving the Gu that this kind of puppet Gu came from southern Xinjiang, and it was the king of ten thousand Gus, and none of them were spared, and she was not completely sure that she could be cured.
At that time, Tang Zixi actually knew that the woman in white was the extremely talented little uncle in Yun Xiu's mouth, so she once thought that what the other party said was modest, but it was not until this moment that she understood that what the other party said was the truth. Now I can still stand here alive, it is really a blessing in misfortune!
Ji Ting fell to the ground and coughed violently, almost coughing out her lungs. It took me a long time to cough and get back to normal. However, after this toss, her body, which was already seriously injured, could no longer hold on, and the whole person collapsed on the ground as softly as mud.
Tang Zixi silently squatted down, grabbed Ji Ting's hand and crossed a trace of true qi into the other party's body. Soon he let go of his hand and said, "You can go on." ”
"Thank you!" Ji Ting said gratefully.
Tang Zixi said expressionlessly: "You think too much, I just want to know more about the puppet Gu, not to save you." ”
"I know!" Ji Ting smiled bitterly: "Although I am not the mastermind, the death of your whole family has nothing to do with me." So we are destined to be enemies, and you should not save me. ”
Tang Zixi snorted coldly and did not speak.
"Miss Tang!" Ji Ting called her in a low voice, her voice suddenly became very sad, and said, "Actually, when the second son of Tang and Princess Yongning got married, I went to the Tang Mansion with my father and brother. ”
"Really?" Tang Zixi still looked indifferent.
Ji Ting nodded, and continued: "That time I saw you who were only four years old, and you were born with pink and jade, which is cute. I liked it as soon as I saw it, and I thought to myself how nice it would be if such a lovely little girl were my own sister. It's a pity that my eldest brother has already had a marriage contract, otherwise he would have begged his father to go to the Tang Mansion to hire ......"
Tang Zixi said coldly: "Do I want to thank you?"
Ji Ting was blocked by her words for a long time and didn't speak, and after a long time, she smiled bitterly: "In short, everything is a creation and a trick!" Before she finished speaking, she began to cough again, but this time she coughed up blood without coughing a few times, and her life was obviously short.
As the saying goes, the words of a person are good, and the song of a bird is also mourning, presumably this is the best portrayal of Ji Ting at this time!
Although Tang Zixi still looked indifferent, the murderous aura in his eyes had dissipated a lot.
Although too much time had passed and many memories had become blurry, she still vaguely remembered that everyone was paying attention to the newcomer at that time, and no one paid attention to her as she fell to the ground crying. She has a very strong temper, and the more she is ignored, the more sad she becomes, until she refuses to stop crying until she is dizzy. At this time, a pair of soft hands gently wiped away her tears, and a fairy-like young lady appeared in front of her, patiently comforting her with the gentlest voice. No matter how she cried and lost her temper, the young lady never tired of coaxing her and holding her. As she grew older, the shadow of that young lady had become very blurred, but those gentle eyes were forever imprinted in her heart.
She never expected that the gentle and demure young lady back then would actually be the ruthless and bewitching woman in front of her. She didn't know what the other party had gone through over the years, but the sudden heartache made her cry.
Although Ji Ting's father Fang Min was punished for his crimes, his family did not know that he secretly reported to the traitorous party, and he was still shouting injustice when he was escorted to the execution ground. Although Dali Temple took out those letters as evidence, and Fang Min also pleaded guilty, Tang Zixi always felt that the crime was not as good as his parents and his wife and children, no matter how big a person committed, those family members were innocent. But the authority of the emperor is inviolable, and even the civil and military officials dare not intercede for those family members, how dare she speak up if she is just a little girl who is soft-spoken. All she could do was secretly recite a mantra in her heart for them.
The two of them remained silent, and neither of them spoke.
In the end, Ji Ting sighed and said, "The person who saved you must treat you as his life, otherwise he would never have made such a big sacrifice." ”
Tang Zixi's eyes moved, he glanced at the woman who was half leaning on the stone pier, and said in a dumb voice: "How do you know that I have also been hit by Gu?"
Ji Ting smiled and replied unexpectedly: "You must completely remove the poison of the puppet Gu." In addition to expelling the Gu Mother from the body, it is also necessary to destroy the eggs it lays in the body at the same time, otherwise it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Those eggs could hatch into new Gu mothers at any time. Therefore, after expelling the Gu Mother, he must forcibly awaken the eggs with secret techniques, and then quickly use his own blood as a medium to lure those eggs into his body. The faster the whole process, the better, and the more delays there are, the more risks there are. This requires that the rescuer's martial arts and medical skills are extremely high, and the slightest mistake will kill all three of them on the spot. She seemed tired after saying so many words in one breath, closed her eyes and gasped slightly.
Tang Zixi was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that the woman in white would make such a big sacrifice, but she was not related to the other party, and she really couldn't figure out why the other party would take such a big risk to save herself. Thinking of what the woman in white said at the time, she said that she was entrusted by an old man surnamed Su, is it just because of this?
But soon she found the crux of the problem, and asked in a hissed voice, "You just said three people?"
"Not bad. Ji Ting opened her eyes and looked at her, and said with a slight bow: "Because the awakened eggs must be drawn out of the body in the shortest possible time, otherwise they will be wasted." Moreover, the eggs entering the body are not only very painful but also very dangerous, which is not ordinary people can bear. Therefore, it must be a person with a very strong mind and extremely high martial arts. The whole process is very dangerous, so it's best to have someone with excellent medical skills next to you at all times. This is definitely not something that can be done by one person. Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I have found someone who can drive away Gu, but I can't find this person who is willing to use himself as a medium to lure out the eggs for me...... Alas, it's all about your own misery!"
Tang Zixi glanced at her and questioned: "With your posture and means, it's not difficult to find someone with strong martial arts, right?"
Ji Ting shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's useless." No one can bear that pain unless they are willing...... Seriously, I envy you. Although I don't have a chance in my life, I hope you can cherish it, if that person is still alive. ”
"I don't know who that person is. Tang Zixi shook his head. She didn't realize that she had no murderous intentions towards the woman in front of her, and the two talked like old friends for many years.
Ji Ting was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said, "If you have a chance, you will definitely know who that person is." As she spoke, her eyes grew darker and her voice lowered.
Tang Zixi hurriedly walked to her side, grabbed her hand again and crossed the true qi continuously.
Ji Ting slowly opened her eyes, looking at the tired and sweaty girl with a relieved smile on her face, and wanted to reach out to touch the other party's head, but found that she couldn't even lift her fingers.
She knew that her limit was approaching, and she said softly: "Miss Tang, there are some things I must tell you before I die. ”
Tang Zixi snorted and continued to convey internal force.
Ji Ting struggled slightly and didn't break away, so she had to let her go, and said, "If you go back to Luoyang in the future, you must be careful of one person." I suspect she's the mastermind behind the whole thing. I'm not sure if that person is the person I think he is, but nine times out of ten I can't be wrong. ”
