There was no light in the Moonstone Palace. In the dark inner room, there was only a luminous pearl on the table, which emitted a soft silver light in the dark night, illuminating everything in the room.
Countless vines hang down from the top, covering the entire room, with overlapping intervals.
A woman in a white gown sits cross-legged in the inner room.
Her long black hair hung down casually, without any decorations, and the room was so dense that not a breath of wind penetrated it.
Not far away from her, a man with a face similar to hers looked at him intently, but there was a sense of worry that could not be concealed on his delicate face.
"You can't do anything to help her just by looking at her like this every day."
A voice came from nowhere. The man had no intention of raising his head. His eyes were still on her, but the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "I just want to make sure that she is well every day. It’s understanding that whether she can get through this or not, she can only rely on herself.”
The heavy stone door of Moonstone Palace made a loud noise and slowly moved to both sides.
A weak wind blew in, causing the hanging curtains to move.
A figure passed through the layers and walked into the inner room.
"Although her old illness is not fatal, it still tortures her every day. This time she fought so hard that she may not be able to enjoy a human lifespan in the future."
"Let's talk about future matters later." Xiao Xingchen's eyes finally left Gu Jianghe for a brief moment, and he said to Qing Ling, "Mingfeng has no disease or disaster, won't he not be able to survive until that day? "
As if she heard something interesting, Qing Ling turned her head and smiled.
As if the conversation between the two disturbed the woman sitting cross-legged, her eyelids moved and she slowly opened her eyes.
"You're awake." Qing Ling found the woman who had woken up and asked with a smile.
"Xingwan, what do you think?"
Xiao Xingchen took two steps to sit next to Gu Jianghe, and took her hand. Her hand was a little cold as always, but today there was some slight sweat, which gave her hand a different kind of heat. .
There was no answer, only Xiao Xingchen's call finally came down.
Gu Jianghe opened her eyes in the somewhat dark inner room, which were bright and clear. She looked at Qing Ling, but secretly used strength on the hand held by Xiao Xingchen, as if to make him feel relieved.
Qing Ling, who didn't get her answer, didn't seem surprised. He just breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be calm all the time, but in fact, he had been worried about whether she would wake up safely. Seeing her current appearance, he finally felt relieved.
The inner room was quiet for a long time before Gu Jianghe finally spoke softly: "Thank you for saving me."
Qingling raised her hand and touched the gentian flower on her forehead, and said with a smile: "You suddenly apologized to me so solemnly, which made me a little uncomfortable. But I think Ayouduo will risk his life to protect you. Naturally, I hope you all can live well."
"Xingwan, do you know that you have been half asleep and half awake for almost a year. I am so afraid that you will never wake up again."
Gu Jianghe turned her head, her body trembling slightly, but she reached out and stroked the broken hair on Xiao Xingchen's forehead, and said with a smile: "I am a medical immortal from Yaowang Valley, how could I die so easily?" Woolen cloth."
Her eyes slowly regained their former look. She pressed her body a little against Xiao Xingchen in an attempt to stand up. As if she felt what she was thinking, Xiao Xingchen held her arm tightly, and Gu Jianghe stabilized himself. The ground fell to the ground.
"Still so stubborn." Qing Ling shook her head helplessly. Back then, she insisted on going her own way and asked him to save Ranchen, but for the sake of the red blood mushroom that could save his life, she bled again regardless of her own body, almost costing her own life. It was just to repay the kindness. In fact, Yunzhong City and her should have owed nothing to each other long ago. I have long heard that the previous owner of Yaowang Valley was stunningly beautiful but had a weird temper. It seems that this girl was probably infected a lot.
"Qing Ling, how are they?"
"I will certainly do what I promised you. I have cured Ranchen's poison for him. Half a month after he came down from the mountain, he has already set off back to the Central Plains. As for Wen Jirou," Qingling paused. "To be honest, I don't know where he is. He seems to have disappeared, but he seems to have never left southern Xinjiang."
All he knew was that the man went to Star Lake, but what he didn't tell him at that time was that all the corpses he could save in those years were secretly buried there. After so many years, maybe he didn't It was impossible to tell which one was his mother's remains.
But what he didn't expect was that the white-haired man actually fished out all the remains and buried them all, including his mother, on the edge of Star Lake.
With the grave, perhaps his soul truly has a home.
Gu Jianghe's eyes seemed to have regained their former brightness: "Qingling, I promised you that if I can survive, I will stay and be your leader."
Qing Ling put her hands on her chest and looked at her with a slightly different look on her face: "Maybe you will change your mind after hearing the news."
The light of the night pearl illuminated half of Gu Jianghe's body. She did not speak, but her expression showed her doubts.
"I know that when you came to Jialan City, there were two girls who followed you. Yi Xia discovered that when the Lord Yunzhong left Jialan City, the two girls did not leave, but stayed here. Every time On market days, the two of them will set up a stall in the market and sell some herbs to make a living. I guess they don't want to leave because they are waiting for you."
With a thought in his mind, Gu Jianghe was finally touched when he heard the two people's names. The hand holding Xiao Xingchen tightly couldn't help but tremble a little. Why are these two silly girls so disobedient? They were clearly asked to go back. Yaowang Valley is looking for the master, what are they doing here stupidly? If she can't wake up, do they plan to stay here for the rest of their lives?
Xiao Xingchen suddenly took his hand out of Gu Jianghe's and held her shoulder. He didn't seem to care about her shaky body, as if he wanted to rub all his strength into her body.
"Xingwan, after you recover your health, go down the mountain. I will do this for you, the leader."
Gu Jianghe raised her head and looked at him in surprise, her eyes filled with shock. She stretched out her hand to push him away, but she didn't have the slightest strength.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I worked so hard to get you out of here, but now you want to continue to stay in this place?"
Xiao Xingchen hugged her tightly in his arms: "Mingfeng is dead, and the Mingyue Sect is no longer the original Mingyue Sect. Don't forget, I am also my mother's child. You have the qualifications to succeed the leader, and so do I. .Xingwan, you are the doctor of Yaowang Valley. You should not be trapped here. You should use your hands to save more people. And I will use my power to turn Mingyue Sect back to its original form. It looks like a place that is truly worthy of people’s trust and reliance.”
**
In the clear, cloudless sky, birds chirped and flew by with fluttering wings.
Jiu Xia pushed a steaming tea cup in front of Gu Jianghe and looked at her with bright eyes.
Qingyang grabbed Gu Jianghe's other arm like a child and rubbed his head on it, motionless: "Girl, I almost thought I would never see you again in this life."
She was naturally very happy to see her long-lost relatives. She reached out to rub Qingyang's head, and then reached out to take Jiuxia's teacup. Only then did Qingyang reluctantly let go of her arm.
"I really didn't expect you two to stay here and not leave. Didn't I ask you to go back to Yaowang Valley?" Gu Jianghe put down the tea cup in his hand. Although he was happy, he still couldn't help but say something. The thought of the two of them being alone in this unfamiliar place filled their hearts with sadness.
"If we go back to Yaowang Valley, we will really never see you again in this life." Jiuxia suddenly lowered her head and said softly.
"But haven't you ever thought that even if you stay here, we may never see each other again in your lifetime?" Seeing Jiuxia's sad look, Gu Jianghe suddenly choked up.
Qingyang looked at her beside her, his eye circles became red: "But we are here, there is still a possibility of seeing you, even if we can't see you, if you know that we are staying with you so close to you , you will definitely be happy too, right?"
Gu Jianghe's eyes were bright. He looked at Qingyang who was about to cry. He said "silly girl" and hugged her into his arms.
"By the way, why did you think of staying here?"
When she came back with the two of them just now, she felt something familiar here. Only then did she realize, isn't this Geduo Village? That was when she first came to Jialan City, and she came here with the white-haired man.
Qingyang broke away from her arms and smiled evilly: "You must have never imagined that we got help from a noble man. Thanks to him, we have avoided a lot of troubles. Otherwise, just chopping firewood every day would have exhausted me to death. , Jiuxia has such a thin body, I can’t even count on her.”
After hearing this, Jiuxia covered her mouth and laughed.
Gu Jianghe's curiosity was immediately aroused, but the two girls just giggled and refused to tell who they were. She was so anxious that she started to scratch them both.
"Qingyang, Jiuxia, are you back? I'm here to bring you water."
A loud but steady voice sounded from outside the house, but Gu Jianghe's hand froze.
This voice sounds so familiar. Who is it?
Qingyang trotted to the door, saying "Come on, come on," and opened the door.
A figure carrying water appeared at the door.
Wearing a light blue collared coat over a white double-breasted coat, a blue homespun belt tied around the waist, and a pair of gray-blue embroidered trousers.
On his head, he wears a pure blue turban that is unique to local men.
Everything was dressed the same as the local residents, but that face was so familiar.
Gu Jianghe was a little stunned.
Also forgetting to breathe for a moment was the person standing at the door.
Qingyang secretly hooked his fingers at Jiuxia from behind. Jiuxia nodded knowingly and ran out while laughing. When leaving, the two of them did not forget to take off the bucket from his hand.
The room was silent for a moment.
After what seemed like a cup of tea, Wen Jirou smiled and said, "Long time no see."
