The ever-bright lamp hung on the stone wall and burned quietly, and the entire stone chamber took on an octagonal shape. In the center of the stone room, there is a yellow pear wood three-screen bed with waist and horseshoe feet, covered with soft quilts.
A young man lay asleep on the bed. Under the dim light, his fingers were pale and thin.
Gu Jianghe sat beside the bed and looked at him quietly. Everything around him was very quiet, except for the sound of candles burning in the dark night, accompanied by a slight breathing sound.
The wounds on his left wrist were like ugly centipedes lying on the pale skin, stinging Gu Jianghe's eyes.
She sighed deeply, took out a small jade porcelain bottle from her arms, and was about to apply medicine to him. Fortunately, when she was out, Jiuxia asked her to bring the medicine with her and used it. It could be better.
I don't know what happened in the dream, Xiao Xingchen's right hand began to tremble unconsciously, Gu Jianghe quickly grabbed his hand, the cold chill spread to her palm, his hand was actually colder than hers.
After all, she couldn't hold back a tear and slipped from her eyes.
Tears dripped onto Xiao Xingchen's hand, and as if being touched, the person on the bed opened his eyes slightly.
"Why are you crying?" After a long time, he asked in a low voice with a hoarse voice.
She smiled slightly: "I'm just a little happy."
Xiao Xingchen raised his hand and wiped away the tears on her face with the back of his hand: "Don't cry."
Just like when I was a child, it turns out that even if I don't remember it, my feelings for you have never changed.
But the tears in Gu Jianghe's eyes could no longer be held back and poured down.
The oil in the everlasting lamp seemed to have gradually bottomed out, and the light slowly dimmed. Xiao Xingchen stood up with his hands and held the woman in front of him in his arms. Her body was so thin, yet so warm.
She had longed for this embrace for ten years, and the last time she was embraced like this by her brother was probably on that rainy night. She had thought she would never feel it again.
"I really want to remember you. Your eyes are so familiar to me." Xiao Xingchen's breathing became a little faster, and her tears seemed to hurt his heart, making him uncomfortable. Why, her face was so unfamiliar to him, but when he saw those eyes weeping, he felt as if he was being pricked by needles.
Gu Jianghe whispered in his ear: "Don't worry, I will definitely cure you. I will definitely let you remember me, brother, you are the only relative I have in this world, you can't abandon me." "
The wick of the eternal lamp seemed to have gradually burned out, and the figures of the two people in the stone room were stretched very long.
Xiao Xingchen sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed. Gu Jianghe stood up and lit the jade tripod incense burner on the table. The smoke curled up and gradually filled the room.
She inserted the silver needle into his twelve acupuncture points.
As early as when he fell asleep, Gu Jianghe had carefully examined his whole body. When she touched the back of his head, she felt a huge wound under the long soft hair. The wound had scabbed over, but that The rough touch clearly told her how much pain he had suffered when he was young.
The hand that touched the wound kept shaking. Gu Jianghe calmed down for a long time before his hand stopped shaking. Even he couldn't help but laugh at himself. People, it's so strange. She is known as the Medicine Queen of the Valley. But she can treat rare and complicated diseases all over the world. Over the years, she has even had patients with more terrible injuries than him. How come when she comes to him, she looks like a fledgling doctor.
Gu Jianghe took a deep breath and then slowly continued groping along his head. It seemed that his amnesia was closely related to the injury on his head. If the congestion persisted for a long time, it would not only be amnesia in the future. problem.
Holding the silver needle in her hand, she looked at the person sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking down at the delicate face, and a firm look appeared in the eyes that were very similar to his.
By the time Gu Jianghe walked out of the Dark Moon Palace, night had already surrounded the entire Mingyue Sect, and the sky was full of stars.
The weather here is really strange. Gu Jianghe couldn't help but shrink back. The weather in southern Yunnan is so hot, but once night falls on the top of Shushi Mountain, it feels like autumn, and people can't help but shudder. Chills.
Ever since she promised Qing Ling to become a saint of the Mingyue Sect, she seems to have been given the instruction to move freely in the Mingyue Sect. Now, no matter where she wanders, no one will stop her.
While walking aimlessly around Dark Moon Palace, a strange figure in the corridor not far away caught her eye.
Gu Jianghe inadvertently stretched his neck slightly, wanting to take a closer look.
"Holy girl." A voice suddenly sounded from behind her, frightening her. When she turned around, she realized that it was Ye Yu who had silently arrived behind her at some point.
"You scared me. Do all of you Mingyue Cult members walk silently? Qingling is like this, and so are you." Gu Jianghe couldn't help but touch his chest with his hand.
Ye Yu saluted Gu Jianghe, and the veil on his face fluttered a little in the night wind. In a daze, Gu Jianghe seemed to see Ye Yu's face: "I am rude, this slave."
"By the way, who is she? She doesn't look like someone from your religion." Gu Jianghe pointed at the person in the corridor not far away. She was a middle-aged woman, wearing a narrow collared flower. The neck robe looks like the fabric is of very good quality. This person is by no means an ordinary person from a humble background.
Ye Yu tilted her head slightly and glanced sideways at Gu Jianghe: "She is Nanny Feng. She went up the mountain today with Su, the concubine of Nanyue Palace."
"She hasn't come down the mountain yet?" Gu Jianghe was a little surprised.
"Yes, it is getting late today, and the mountains and forests in Shushi are complicated and it is not suitable to walk after nightfall. The priest asked her to stay here and set off again early tomorrow morning. Concubine Su lives not far from you. If you feel If you feel uncomfortable, the slave will change rooms for you at any time."
"That's it." Gu Jianghe agreed lightly, but his eyes unconsciously looked in that direction. The longer she stayed here, the more dangerous she became. He only hoped that she would not be discovered tonight. good.
"It doesn't matter, Ye Yu, it's just one night. You can go back and rest. I can just go back by myself."
Ye Yu didn't say much. He bowed to Gu Jianghe and left silently.
On the corridor not far from them, Gu Jianghe did not notice that the middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes just now had her eyes fixed on them in the night.
She watched Gu Jianghe talking to Ye Yu, watched Ye Yu bow respectfully to Gu Jianghe and left, and watched Gu Jianghe leave.
It was very quiet around, with no one around.
By some strange mistake, Nanny Feng quietly followed her.
Her footsteps were so light that no one could detect her presence.
Dark Moon Palace has been rarely inhabited since the founding of the Bright Moon Sect. Only when guests come, the leader will arrange them here. Gu Jianghe has been living here since she was kidnapped by Qingling and taken to the Mingyue Sect. There are usually no other people here, so she seems to be used to the emptiness here.
While walking in the long and dark corridor, Gu Jianghe's mind drifted to the distance, recalling the red blood mushroom that she had only glanced at. The whole body was red, but dull. It shouldn't be that color. With the sensitivity of a doctor, she felt that Mingfeng and Qingling cared so much about the red blood mushroom, which meant that it must have unusual uses.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to take a look. What kind of treasure is Red Blood Mushroom? The Agarwood Pavilion in Yaowang Valley claims to contain all the miscellaneous medical books in the world, but there is no mention of it in any book. Red blood mushroom. What kind of magic power does her blood have that can actually make red blood mushrooms grow?
She thought again of the terrible wounds on Xiao Xingchen's wrist, and how much blood her brother had been drained for the Red Blood Zhi over the years. Thinking of this, her heart began to throb again unconsciously, but her eyes were filled with tears. A deep blue light.
But at the same time, she made a decision. If Scarlet Blood Zhi could really help Ming Feng and Qing Ling do evil in this world, she would not let them succeed even if they died.
Gu Jianghe finally walked to the door of the room, and just when she reached out to push the door open, she felt an invisible pressure on the back of her head at that moment.
Just as she was about to turn back, a hand suddenly grabbed her mouth with such force that she couldn't break free, and a feeling of fear surged into her heart. The person used his other hand to push open the door to the room without hesitation, and smoothly brought her body into the room.
Before he could react, the person let go of his hand and closed the door.
The only red sandalwood glazed lamp was burning on a three-curved incense table with banana leaves and cloud patterns in the room, illuminating the room with a faint light. It was only then that Gu Jianghe could clearly see the man who had just pushed her into the room. She turned out to be a middle-aged woman, wearing a robe with a narrow collar and a floral neck, and a pure gold hairpin in her hair.
"Aren't you the Aunt Feng who followed Concubine Su up the mountain?" She said in surprise, "You?"
But Grandma Feng laughed softly: "Why, is my disguise so successful that you can't even recognize me?"
Nanny Feng stepped forward, got in front of Gu Jianghe's eyes, glanced at the silver hairpin in her hair, and glanced at her mouth: "This hairpin is much uglier than the one you gave me, and it's not suitable for you." He reached out and pulled it out and threw it on the ground. The silver hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Looking at Gu Jianghe with both eyes, something magical happened. Those eyes were obviously those of a woman. There were some wrinkles around the eyes, but in Gu Jianghe's eyes, those wrinkles were like magic. One by one they disappeared before her eyes.
The color of his eyes, which were still pure black before, gradually faded away.
Shock climbed onto Gu Jianghe's face: "What's wrong with you?"
