Ancient Sword II Xie Lelianxin

Chapter 11

Xie Yi bandaged the wound on his heart, closed his clothes, and leaned over to see the sleeping teenager curled up.Many years ago he took him to flee to the Central Plains, and he would look at his sleeping face at night and hear him calling his parents in his dreams.He didn't know how to comfort the child who had fallen into a nightmare, so he could only follow the hearsay method and gently hugged the child in his arms.

The child fell asleep again listening to his heartbeat, but he couldn't sleep anymore, so he could only recall the dispute over and over again in the darkness before dawn——

Even if the bones are rotten, I don't intend to kill, my family survives in danger, so why is it against the law of heaven?Everything in the world has a definite number. I live and die, and each lives according to his own destiny. How can there be serious crimes?Regardless of whether Mingdie can successfully refine medicine, other than that, what else can save our Lieshan clan?

The man shook his head and said, if you were the high priest today, you would choose like me.

He was ambitious at a young age, and he was highly valued by Shen Ye, and his words were full of sharpness that could not be concealed. Although Shen Ye's face was hesitant, he was still outspoken - my Lieshan clan is a descendant of Shennong, and Shennong treats living beings as close relatives, Vow to save the suffering, my family relies on medical skills to harm the common people. Even if it solves the emergency, it is killing life to survive, and the death is farther away.

He made an oath to Shen Ye, who left in a huff, that Liuyue City is isolated from the outside world for hundreds of years of cold and heat. He doesn't know that the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, and the knowledge of medicine has a long history. As the high priest, I will definitely find a way to achieve both.

He knelt outside the Ziwei Hall for a day and a night, his enthusiasm finally turned into discouragement, thinking that he had obstructed the death row prisoner's drug testing many times, and Shen Ye might have been moved to kill him.With the assistance of Huayue and Tongtong, he secretly left Liuyue City, climbed over Mount Yilie in the east, and fled overnight along the ancient road in the desert. Fly in the direction of donating drugs.He knew that most of the death row prisoners who tested the medicine were drug donors, but he suddenly remembered the child who had donated the sachet, so he couldn't help turning his horse's head to follow Yaodie.A few days later, he really came to the secret dungeon - Wuyan Jialan.

That was once the divine mansion that he marked on the map with his own hands, but now it has become a hell on earth.

Yaodie led him to find the child. He persuaded Li Zhu on duty and took him away, but he couldn't rescue more people.He carried the child on his back across the mountains and fled to the Central Plains, planted needles in his skull to suppress Gu, entrusted him to his friends in Chang'an, and left quietly.It wasn't until the reunion two years later that he realized that the three needles in the skull had temporarily erased the child's memory. The son of Duke Ding, who was named Le Wuyi, looked at him curiously and shyly, with amber eyes There is no haze here, just like seeing it at the beginning of the year.

He couldn't bear to break it, so he calmly told him his name again - Le Wuyi would remember all the past after taking the needle to get rid of the gu, but before that, he only hoped that he could grow up carefree .

Unexpectedly, the needle in the cranium was still unable to completely suppress the butterfly gu from sucking the blood energy of the host. Le Wuyi was young and weak, and fell seriously ill and fell into a coma again two years after the needle was implanted.Therefore, every summer since then, Xie Yi would make a potion from his heart's blood and let Le Wuyi take it—the Nether Butterfly Gu worms had tasted the human blood washed with wood essence, and they would no longer harm the host for a year.

Ten years passed, fingers turned around, and this time, Xie Yi still followed Yao Die, searching from house to house in the streets and alleys spread out like cobwebs in the drizzle, and finally found his apprentice in the middle of a misty night.Beside the young man who fell on the ground was Shen Ye, Xie Yi only felt his Qi and blood flow backwards in an instant, when he regained his senses, he jumped between the two of them.The wet and cold side of the boy's neck beat weakly under his fingers, and the almost stagnant heart fell back into the chest cavity.

"Xie Yi, stay safe." A sneer came from behind him.

Xie Yi suddenly turned around, narrowed his eyes and stared at the three silver needles between Shen Ye's fingers, and when he raised his eyes again, the knife was out of its sheath.The moonlight poured down from the straight blade like quicksilver, and the light of the blade coolly brushed over the dark red blood stains on the green brick floor, trembling almost invisibly.

"Since you stepped into this place, you've been full of flaws... If it's the teacher who took advantage of your pulse detection, I'm afraid you're decapitated." Shen Ye seemed to sneer and sigh, and met the point of the knife pointing at his heart. Taking a step forward, the black and wide sleeves moved automatically without wind, and a silver needle flew around Xie Yi and flew towards Le Wuyi, "The apprentice you accepted refused to recognize you, probably these few needles made him insane. It's all right."

Xie Yi didn't say a word, he swung his knife to stop the needle, the moment the blade touched the needle point, his mouth went numb, and the fine iron blade also buzzed.He thought that Shen Ye's skill was more advanced than before, if he was alone today, he might be able to fight with his life, but it was no different from him...

Another silver needle struck head-on, and when it flew halfway, it suddenly deflected its direction.Xie Yi couldn't stop him in time, seeing the silver needle pressed against Le Wuyi's neck and half submerged in the green brick, the exposed needle tail couldn't help trembling slightly.

"After ten years of separation, your martial arts have regressed to this point." Shen Ye raised his chin and pointed with joy, "Your mind and mind are spent on useless things, and you must have forgotten all the admonitions of the master... you and me After so many years, you don't even want to say a word?"

"I will never forget the kindness of teaching you with one step." Xie Yi closed his eyes and bowed slightly to him, "It's just that we don't agree with each other, and the plan is too deep. Please forgive Xie for not agreeing. Nothing but in vain."

Shen Ye's eyes darkened slightly, and with a slight movement of his sleeves, Xie Yi suddenly turned his wrist, and pressed the blade against his neck.

"Oh, what's the reason for Po Jun?" Shen Ye's voice cooled down, and the curve of his mouth disappeared.

"Gu worms are controlled by the Gu king, and when the king dies, he will be martyred to the master. Even if the high priest is not good at medicine, he should have heard about it."

"If it refers to the Gu King of the Underworld Butterfly..." Shen Ye said slowly with his hands behind his back, "It has been hidden in a secret place, guarded by heavy soldiers day and night, so you can rest assured."

"I have no intention of competing for the Gu King." Xie Yi glanced at Le Wuyi's bloodless face, and said calmly, "Half-body of Mingdie is Yaodie, and Yaodie's nature likes Jumu, and only those who have been washed by Jumu can win Blood offerings to the Gu King. When Xie left, Jumu Mujing had almost been exhausted, so I guess the only person in this world who can be chosen by me is the Lord Cangming... I will be with you."

"How dare you threaten me with this... Really... not bad."

Xie Yi smiled: "The main body of the city is weak, and it will be inappropriate to nourish the cup with blood... If Xie can go back alive, it will always be of some use."

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes indistinctly, and after a long silence, he suddenly waved his hand, causing Huayue Jiang Boluo and others to retreat to a distance, and then backed up a few steps: "Pojun, remember your promise."

Tang Dao fell to the ground, Xie Yi picked up Le Wuyi and walked towards the nearby wing, his footsteps stopped suddenly, he turned back to Shen Ye and said: "If the high priest doesn't want to meet General Le and his party, please take your attendants with you. Retire outside Zhanxiyu City and wait."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, a silver light flashed in the corner of his eyes, it was actually an approaching butterfly being nailed to the ground.Yaodie flapped its wings desperately, but could no longer break away from the silver needle that pierced through its thin body—that was the third needle that was just taken out of Le Wuyi's skull.

The meaning of warning is self-evident.Xie Yi tightened his arms, lowered his head to touch the cold forehead of the person in his arms, and said lightly: "Don't worry too much, after Xie has settled down as a disciple, I will follow you back to Floating Moon City."

The slightly damp hair stuck to his forehead, like the wet feathers of a bird.Xie Yi withdrew his pulse-detecting hand, Ting Le was in a mess in his dream, he called a few times but there was no response.He took off the boy's blood-stained clothes, and the skin felt warm when he touched it. He couldn't help raising his hand to stroke his forehead, only to realize that his hand was so cold.

He knew very well that after taking the needle, the Gu worm would lose its confinement and drain the blood of the host within a few hours, so he tried his best to calmly ask Shen Ye for a night's grace, intending to take out the Hades Butterfly Gu that had been dormant for many years.In order to appease the Gu worms, he pricked his heart orifice just now to get some blood, but fortunately the gauze from the wound no longer oozes blood, and he couldn't tell if he wrapped it in his coat.

There was a bloody smell in the room, so he got up and opened the window.

The cold wind and rain seeped into the curtain, and someone called hoarsely from behind—"Brother Xie Yi."

"No difference!"

Xie Yi hurried back to the bed.The young man blinked blankly, and when his eyes were fixed, his whole body trembled, showing a bit of fear in his expression.Xie Yi guessed that the sudden recovery of his childhood memories was due to him not being sober, but it would be more dangerous if he delayed for a while, so he helped him up with a medicine bowl, and softly comforted him: "Yes, it's me...be obedient, Take the medicine first."

There was a fishy smell in the dark soup, and a familiar woody fragrance wafted out. The boy's pupils shrank suddenly, and he pushed away the nearby medicine bowl.Xie Yi hurriedly retreated, half of the bowl of medicinal juice sloshed out, and dripped onto the white bedding along the fingers clasping the rim of the bowl.

"I won't drink! I don't want to die!" The boy fled to the corner of the bed, hugging his knees tightly and shrinking his head.Xie Yi put the bowl aside, and in a blink of an eye, he took the opportunity to jump out of the bed, quickly grabbed his arm and pushed him back on the bed: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person..."

"You lied to me, you are all in the same group!" The young man's pale face was flushed with red anger, and his eyes widened in panic, "Where is my mother, she came with me, where is she?"

Xie Yi couldn't bear to look at him, and unconsciously relaxed a little bit of strength in his hands. The young man broke free from him, and his knees slumped against the low cabinet next to the bed.Xie Yi didn't care about blocking the falling porcelain bottle, he just hugged the young man who was panting in pain tightly.

"No difference..." He lightly rubbed his blushing forehead, "Don't be afraid."

The young man was pressed against Xie Yi's arms, and after listening to his heartbeat for a while, he slowly calmed down.

The edges of the shattered porcelain shone sharply, and a pungent and bitter smell wafted from the room.The young man murmured: "Gardenia, Qingdai... and Forsythia... Hey, why did I know about these medicines... My voice has changed anyway..."

Xie Yi slowly let go of him, stared at him and said, "You are already."

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and after looking around for a while, he let out a long sigh of relief. The panic in his expression gradually turned into doubt.After a while, he peeked at the broken medicine bottle on the ground, scratched his head and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I had a nightmare just now, and thought you were going to kill me... What's going on? Why am I here? "

Xie Yi took his hand and sat back on the bed, and said softly: "Those are all in the past, no... well, do you still remember me?"

The young man met Xie Yi's eyes timidly, blushed, lowered his head and said softly: "I remember you, you are brother Xie Yi." He then said to himself, "It was raining in my dream, why did it still rain when I woke up? ..."

He shrugged his shoulders and shivered, Xie Yi shook off the quilt and wrapped it around him, hugged him with the quilt in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Good boy, then you must still remember that I am a doctor. You are sick, I I want to treat you, do you understand?"

"Yes, you are a doctor, you want...to save me?" the boy repeated.

"That's right. Do you trust me?" Xie Yi stepped back and looked into his eyes gently.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Xie Yi heaved a sigh of relief, turned around to take the medicine bowl, but seeing him bit his lip reluctantly again, he couldn't help sighing: "When you grow up, why do you still have to be coaxed to take medicine, really..."

"...What?" The boy poked his head out from the pile of quilts, blinked innocently, and stepped back a few inches.

"What a..." Xie Yi sighed softly, took a mouthful of the medicinal soup from the bowl, and raised his hand to clasp the boy's chin.Fingers gently pinched the jaw joint, leaning over to cover the soft lips.

"……Silly boy."

The boy resisted in a panic, and his palm happened to press on the wound on the opponent's heart.Xie Yi clasped the back of his head unconsciously, and patted his back with the other hand.The medicinal juice gradually spilled out from the corners of his lips, and the hand resting on his chest fell down, groping to grasp the bedding, the young man finally obediently raised his head slightly, Xie Yi took advantage of the situation to pry open his teeth, and passed the medicinal juice in his mouth little by little.

The two held their cold fingertips together, slowly giving birth to a little warmth.

"Brother Xie Yi, after drinking their medicine, I haven't heard Mother's voice again... I understand, she's gone." The young man buried himself in Xie Yi's neck, sniffing lightly, "I woke up later. , I saw Yaodie flying into the prison... I knew it was you."

Xie Yi closed his eyes and hugged him silently.Hot tears wet the collar, and the young man said softly: "When you left that day, you said you would come back to find me, and I have been waiting... You came to save me, I am so happy."
