Mo Xi brought Gu Mang out of the treatment room.
A secret in a person's heart was called a secret. Between two people, it was called a contract. When a third person knew about it, it would be used against them.
There were more than ten people who had witnessed Mo Xie saving Gu Mang. Although they were all top-notch secret guards of the Inner Palace, they were still human.
There were only a dozen people in the world who knew a secret that was not leaked. Thus, the news that Lord Xi He risked his life to save a traitor quickly spread throughout Chong Hua City as if it had grown wings. Originally, there were already a lot of speculations about the erotic scene. When this news came out, many people who had been cautious and reserved all fell into doubt.
"Is Lord Xi He crazy? Why would he do this for a traitor?"
"Ah? You still don't know? Actually, the relationship between the two of them is not that simple. "
"I know that they were brothers who went through fire and water together, but —"
"Brothers who went through fire and water together? You should really go and listen to what Murong Lie said. He is a relative of the royal family. His words are probably correct. The truth will definitely shock you so much that you won't be able to close your mouth! "
For a moment, the city was in a storm. However, Mo Xi was not in the mood to care about these trivial matters.
Although he arrived in time and rescued Gu Mang from the vortex of complete demonization, the mysterious "assassin" told Gu Mang about the oath of the heavenly tribulation. This was another heavy blow to the person who was already on the verge of collapse.
Gu Mang's divine sense was finally destroyed.
Just like Jiang Fuli had warned, Gu Mang's current situation was worse than when he was just sent back by Liao Country to negotiate peace. At that time, although Gu Mang thought that he was a wild wolf, at least he still retained some of his human heart.
However, Gu Mang, who was injured again, almost lost all of his human feelings after waking up.
— —
"When Burning Country refined him, they wanted to turn him into a weapon of flesh and blood. They didn't need him to have any thoughts. As long as he obeyed orders, that was enough."
After treating Gu Mang's illness, Meng Ze stood on the veranda of the garden in Xi He's residence and said to the haggard Mo Xi.
"But thinking about it, it was the first time Burning Country tried something like this, so they didn't control it very well. Therefore, Gu Mang's spiritual power had only changed, and his demonic aura had become stronger. Other than that, there weren't many other changes immediately. Later on, when he showed signs of going berserk and became more and more out of Burning Nation's control, in order to not be affected by unpredictable dangers, Burning Nation chose to destroy the two souls that controlled his memories and sent them back to our Chong Hua. "
"As you can see, he has developed to the point where he is completely out of control. Apart from the fact that he has yet to be devoured, he has almost become a person who cannot empathize with others … "
Meng Ze hesitated. The word "monster" was on her lips, but she couldn't say it.
Mo Xi's expression was too tired and too painful.
She had grown up with him and known him for so many years, but she had rarely seen him like this.
It was drizzling outside the veranda. The red lotus in the pond swayed with the wind. A golden carp swayed under the wide lotus leaves, making the water sparkle.
In the silence, Mo Xi suddenly said in a low voice, "But he still remembers me."
Meng Ze: "…"
"After I took him out of the treatment room, he was unconscious for almost two days. When he woke up, he didn't respond to anything other people said to him, but he still remembers me." Mo Mie lowered his eyes. He seemed to be talking to Meng Ze, but also seemed to be comforting himself. "He always listens to whatever I say to him."
"That's because he hasn't been completely devoured by the Black Demon. In his current situation, he has basically lost his memory, and only a few remnants are left. "Meng Ze sighed." In fact, I don't know how long he can hold on. "
"Brother Mo, Pharmacist Jiang also told you before that if his two souls don't return to him, it will be an irreversible dead end."
Mo Xi suddenly closed his eyes.
The raindrops hit the roof tiles, the eaves, and the stone surface of Lake Tai. His dark eyebrows were knitted, and under his tall nose, a pair of thin lips were tightly pursed.
If it was only Meng Ze who said that there was no way to save him, he would at least have a glimmer of hope. But before, the first medicine sage of Chong Hua, Jiang Fuli, had already told him the same thing —
"Unless we can find the two missing souls of Gu Mang, even the Daluo Immortals can't save him."
Mo Xi's fingertips sank deep into his palms. Suddenly, he said, "In Jiuzhou, how many medicine cultivators can use the Soul Guiding Method?"
Meng Ze was startled!
"Brother Mo, don't tell me you want to …"
Mo Xi turned around and said to her, "I want to recall the two missing souls for him."
That kind of infinitely absurd expression was almost unconcealable on Meng Ze's face. Meng Ze murmured, "That … That's undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Once the soul spills out, it may be lost in any place. In this vast world, even if one knows the Soul Guiding Method, it may take ten or twenty years to find it, and go through countless hardships. How can it be an easy task? "
"I know." Mo Xi looked at the curtain of rain falling on the eaves like a curtain of beads with his hands behind his back. "It's certainly not easy to find the two souls."
After a pause, his voice was deep and low.
"But it's even more difficult to let him go."
"…"
"In the past, everyone thought that my family was in dire straits and that I was doomed to never be able to make a name for myself. No one was willing to take care of me. When I first entered the barracks, I did everything alone. I guarded alone, I explored alone, and I ate alone. Once, I fell into a pack of demon wolves and was covered in poisonous blood. At that time, I thought that no one would risk their lives to save me. Because I didn't have anyone close to me in Chong Hua. "
Meng Ze was slightly embarrassed. At that time, Mo Xi was really too young, and she didn't have much interaction with him. Now that she heard him talk about the past, she didn't know how to comfort him. She could only make a soft sound of agreement.
Mo Xi said, "He came to save me."
"He didn't consider whether he would be implicated, didn't consider whether he could dispel the Devil Qi after saving me, didn't care about my identity and circumstances."
"Meng Ze. If it were me now, it would be the same. No matter how difficult it is, no matter what the result is, no matter how long it takes. " Mo Xi said, "As long as he's alive, as long as I'm alive, I won't look back."
"Until any one of us dies."
The green bamboos swayed gently by the pale walls of the courtyard, making moist and bleak rustling sounds in the wind and rain.
Mo Xi said the last few words, "Or he recovers."
Meng Ze looked at the man in front of her. In fact, she had heard a lot of the gossip in the city these days. As one of the people closest to him, she knew the truth better than most people. She also knew what Gu Mang meant to Mo Xi.
But because of this, she felt that Mo Xi was really too strong.
There was a fire in his arms that was about to be extinguished, there was a dark road in front of him, and he received the most devastating news. But Mo Xi endured it.
She had been a medicine cultivator for many years, and had seen all kinds of people in the face of difficulties. They were weak, desperate, cowardly, and out of control. Because of all kinds of reasons, she had seen children sadly give up on their seriously ill parents, and husbands weakly abandon their weak wives … those people might have been forced into a corner, so they could only lower their heads.
She was not them, and had not experienced the suffering of these people, so she did not want to judge whether their choice was right or wrong, whether they were selfish or heartless.
But after all, she was used to seeing the fickleness of human nature, and her heart trembled because of a certain person's stubbornness that would never yield to fate.
Mo Xi did not complain, did not criticize, did not make trouble for no reason, and did not break down or lose control.
Even a fool could see that the emotions between his brows were too heavy, and that his fingertips were trembling slightly. But this man lived too soberly, and too ruthless to himself. He did not waste his energy on anything unnecessary, even if venting would make people feel a little better.
From beginning to end, he dealt with these nightmares that were enough to break his heart countless times with a kind of cruel calmness.
Meng Ze finally let out a long sigh, and said, "The Spirit Guiding Technique … is a branch of the Three Great Forbidden Techniques, the Rebirth Technique. And to be able to master this technique, the medicine cultivator not only has to have a deep enough cultivation, but also has to have the opportunity to practice this technique. "
"According to the rumors of the Medicine Sect, most of these people are close to being powerful, and their whereabouts are uncertain, almost like legends."
"But …" Meng Ze paused for a moment, and her slender fingers gripped her sleeve. She raised her head and said, as if she had made up her mind, "I once saw a legend in a medicine manual. To the north of Lin 'an City, there is a deep forest and mountains, and in the mountains lives a hermit expert who has mastered the Rebirth Technique. "
As she spoke, she could almost see the light gathering in Mo Xi's dark eyes.
Meng Ze said, "The Spirit Guiding Technique is the first step of the Rebirth Technique. If the rumor is true, this expert can certainly summon the two missing strands of Senior Brother Gu's soul … but …"
She turned her gaze away and said in a low voice, "But this rumor is just a few words, and there is no way to verify whether there is such an expert in the vicinity of Lin 'an. If there is, this person has disappeared in the forest, and it will not be easy to find him. And according to the rumor, that person's temperament is unpredictable, and if he is happy, he will save people, and if he is unhappy, he will deliberately harm people. So even if you really find him, you don't know whether it will be a disaster or a blessing. "
But despite her advice, Meng Ze looked at Mo Xi's expression and knew that this person would never give up on this path.
Meng Ze sighed and said, "Brother Mo, if you really want to go, I can't stop you. The war between Chong Hua and the Burning Country has already begun, and Brother Lian is seriously injured and bedridden, and now his life is hanging by a thread, and I don't know if he can be saved. If you can really help Senior Brother Gu recover, it will also be a great thing for Chong Hua. But this matter is of great importance … I am worried that at this time, Brother Wang will not be willing to let you leave the capital. "
She paused and said, "How about this, you go back to the mansion and have a good rest. Previously, when you suppressed Senior Brother Gu's demonic energy, you also suffered a lot of injuries. I will explain and plead with Brother Wang about this matter. "
Saying this, she gave Mo Xi a gentle and warm smile, although the faint sadness in her eyes could not be hidden.
"I am sorry, I am not the first person to recognize the pearl with discerning eyes. When your family met with misfortune, I was also not by your side. … Let me help you this time, if you can save … save the people you care about. " She lowered her head, and thin strands of hair fell on her slender white neck. "Then I will be very happy."
"Don't worry, leave it to me to talk to Brother Wang."
The rain was getting heavier. Meng Ze and Mo Xi told a few things to pay attention to when using medicine, then called Yue Niang over and the two of them went back with umbrellas. Mo Xi also went into the room to continue looking after Gu Mang, and only a few servants were left standing in the empty courtyard.
Housekeeper Li was among them.
"Master, why are you frowning? What are you thinking about? "
The new disciple called Li Wei back from his daydream. Li Wei turned his gaze from the screen wall and cleared his throat. "… Nothing."
That would be strange.
He had heard the conversation between Princess Meng Ze and his master, but no matter how he listened, he felt uncomfortable.
Li Wei had been a servant in the palace, and he had seen too many concubines and concubines. Although those women were of noble birth, in the end, they were still human. Humans had feelings, and feelings could not be easily let go.
That was why there would be people who would sit alone in an empty tent until daybreak. That was why there would be people who would laugh to their heart's content in their own palaces when they heard that a favored concubine who had received great kindness had died of illness. That was why there would be schemes, hatred, and jealousy.
That was why there were so many things that could not be let go.
But Meng Ze was a girl that surprised Li Wei.
Although she had struggled, was sad, and was unwilling, her struggles, sadness, and unwillingness made Li Wei feel that they were too fake, like the lead on a beautiful woman's face.
Feelings that could be let go so easily were not feelings, not to mention that she had waited for Mo Xi in vain for more than ten years. Or was it that as one of the Three Gentlemen of Chong Hua, her temperament was indeed different from ordinary women?
Li Wei thought so, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
