late night song

Chapter 172: Soul-eating Gu

Gu Yuchu's limbs were tied up with chains and hung in the air.When she broke free, the blood from her hands and feet stained the cyan sleeves red along her arms. Although there were no signs of torture on her body, her expression was extremely painful.

For five consecutive days, she was imprisoned in this dark dungeon. Except for someone who came to feed her some water and food regularly, no one cared about her.

There is no light here, just two small torches.

Gu Yuchu was sometimes awake and sometimes confused. She relied on the sound of water dripping in the cracks in the wall above her head to distinguish between day and night.

Her physical condition is also very unstable. Sometimes it feels like she is being held on fire, and she feels like there are thousands of ants crawling in her body. Sometimes it is bone-chilling cold, as if her body no longer belongs to her at all except for her eyes. .

After the siege of Cangshan Mountain, Ling Buhuo and Lan Ye were captured without any help, and were tied up by masked men and brought back to Yuquan Palace.

Lejia Pengkang imprisoned Lan Ye in the dormitory and imprisoned Ling Buhuo in another part of the dungeon.

It's just that he didn't doubt Ling Buhuo's identity, and regarded this man as the unruly, uneducated and unskilled Ling Ziyu. Except for having people guard him in turns for twelve hours, he didn't wear shackles or shackles.

Ling Buhuo deliberately scolded and made noise, but in fact he observed carefully for two days, silently memorizing the daily meal delivery time and the rules of guard changes.

In particular, when delivering food, two palace attendants always appeared at the same time. One delivered it to him, while the other passed by the stone gate and went deeper, only to return again after a stick of incense. This made him feel guilty. Had a very bad premonition.

Therefore, he did not dare to delay for too long. After the defense was changed at midnight the next day, Ling Buhuo took advantage of one guard to go out and used the soft gold on his body to seduce the other guard. When the man approached the cage, he preemptively struck with a force He knocked the man unconscious on the iron railing, then took out the key from him, escaped from the prison, and then ambushed and killed another guard who came back.

After that, he took the guard's saber and followed the direction of the person who sent the meal to the palace, and found the unconscious Gu Yuchu.

Seeing her looking so weak, Ling Buhuo felt heartbroken.He tried hard to cut off the chains on Gu Yuchu's hands and feet, but found that they were made of tooth iron and were extremely hard, incomparable to ordinary weapons.

Fortunately, he was prepared and took off the gold hairpin on his head.This hairpin looks gorgeous and is entirely golden, but it is not made of red gold.

He pressed the gem on the head of the hairpin, and the hairpin opened instantly. Lying inside was a slender lancet made of black iron, which was harder than tooth iron.

Ling Buhuo inserted the hairpin into the keyhole and turned it once.With a click, the lock core was twisted and the chain was opened.

Gu Yuchu suddenly leaned into Ling Buhuo's arms, her whole body was cold and she was shivering.

"Xiao Chu, wake up." Ling Buhuo frowned and quickly checked her pulse. The weak pulse made him feel confused. He hugged her and patted her cheek gently, trying to wake her up.

After a long while, Gu Yuchu opened his eyes slightly, feeling in a deep trance and his voice was hoarse.

"It's you."

"Can you still walk?" Ling Buhuo asked nervously.

She nodded slightly.

So, he quickly carried the weak Gu Yuchu on his back and finally got out of the dungeon, but unexpectedly he was surrounded by guards on the way.Ling Buhuo took Gu Yuchu's health into consideration and was unable to attack the enemy with all his strength. Beiling's secret guards had not arrived yet, so it was difficult to break through the encirclement.

Later, Le Jiapeng appeared in person, and he had to change his mind temporarily.

"Prince Ling, I have underestimated you." Lejia Pengkang said contemptuously.

"Ha, you are so cruel," Ling Buhuo said, imitating Ling Ziyu's tone.

"What's your relationship with her?" Lejia Pengkang raised his chin and asked.

"I want to ask you what is the hatred between you and her that makes you deal such a heavy blow to your sister?"

"Isn't it ridiculous for a hero to save a beauty at this time?"

"I, Ling Ziyu, would rather suffer myself than see the beauty get hurt. I have to teach you this."

"Teach me?" Lejia Pengkang laughed, spread his arms, and looked around, "Now you are my prisoner."

"Haha, even if you now even have a Chilian Pagoda, you still have to be modest when it comes to loving and caring for women."

"Someone, take them down and lock them up separately."

"Take me to see Ran Ying. Otherwise I will kill her!" In an instant, Ling Buhuo suddenly twisted Gu Yuchu's neck and threatened.

Lejia Pengkang was a little anxious and took half a step forward, but still endured it.

"Do you think you can threaten me like this?"

"If she dies, what will you use to blackmail Qi Jian; if I die, what will you use to blackmail Beiling." Ling Buhuo said straightforwardly.

Lejia Pengkang didn't speak.

Indeed, now he would rather kill Prince Ling than Gu Yuchu. He He and Bei Ling have already broken up with each other. He has no choice but to make a desperate attempt to make friends with Dong Qi. If Gu Yuchu dies, no matter how sincere he is, Qi Jie will not Don't believe him at all.It has to be said that Prince Ling has indeed grasped the key point.

"If you wait a little longer, she will die on her own without me taking action." Ling Buhuo urged.

"She's not as weak as you think!" Lejia Pengkang was panicking, but there was no pity on his face at all, which made Ling Buhuo's eyes look even more gloomy.

"Come here, escort them to Zhilan Palace." He thought for a while and gave this important order.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ran Ying has medical skills." Someone reminded him in his ear.

"So what? It's been seven days, and there's no cure for the soul-corrupting poison." Lejia Pengkang smiled, his eyebrows slightly raised, unusually proud.

Ling Buhuo raised his head and stared into Lejia Pengkang's eyes in surprise.

If what he heard is correct, there is indeed no cure for this soul-corrupting poison.

It is the first of all Gu, and it is the first and most important step in building the Chilian Pagoda!People who are poisoned must take poison-suppressing pills every 21 days, otherwise they will gradually lose their will when the poison occurs, and eventually become like a walking zombie.

If Gu Yuchu's internal strength was still there when he was infected with the poison, he could use his martial arts to suppress the poisonous energy within twelve hours, and then drink snow-capped mountain ice seeds within seven days, the poison could be driven away.

But Lanye had given Gu Yuchu a drunken drink beforehand!This last chance of survival was cut off abruptly!

Ling Buhuo's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. Lejia Pengkang was so cruel that he had underestimated him too much. At this moment, he wanted to immediately step forward and crush the vicious young man's neck, so that he could be buried with his beloved woman first.

Under the support of a crowd of people, Ling Buhuo hurriedly carried Gu Yuchu into the Zhilan Hall, and the back hall door was locked.

The hall was empty except for two candles.Lan Ye heard the commotion and rushed out of the inner hall. When he saw Gu Yuchu's appearance in the man's arms, he was so shocked that he couldn't stop crying.

"Xiaochu, what's wrong with you? Xiaochu!"

"Stop crying! Are there any silver needles in the house?" Ling Buhuo scolded. He quickly laid Gu Yuchu flat on the bed and took his pulse again.

This time, her pulse was not as weak as in the dungeon, but chaotic.

I think it was a poisonous poison.

The weak woman on the bed suddenly opened her bloodshot eyes, and saw her lips were black and blue, and her expression was horrified and in pain.She grabbed the sheets with both hands, and the silk suddenly tore.

"Hurry up!" Ling Buhuo shouted loudly in a hurry.

Lan Ye rushed to the bedside and pulled open the needle pack in panic. Ling Ziyu took out a silver needle and quickly and accurately inserted it into her Baihui, Zhubing, and Xingjian acupoints.

Gu Yuchu suddenly became quiet and fell into Ling Buhuo's arms.

"What happened to Xiao Chu?" Lan Ye choked with red eyes.

"Soul-eating Gu." Ling Buhuo furrowed his brows and took a deep breath.

Lan Ye slumped to the side, completely panicked, and murmured repeatedly: "How is it possible! How is it possible!"

"Who did it?" she suddenly asked, and for a moment she seemed to have the answer, but she suppressed it again.

"Who else could it be? Lejia Pengkang! And your good master!" Ling Buhuo's tone was extremely cold, and he hated this self-righteous woman in his heart.

Lan Ye was silent.

Indeed, in the world, apart from Master, her master is probably the only one who can practice this kind of Gu insect, but why on earth did she do this?And why did Lejia Pengkang take advantage of her!
"Do you still have the elixir you gave you last time?" Ling Buhuo wiped Gu Yuchu's sweat carefully and suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Yes." Lan Ye quickly stood up and ran to the makeup box, taking out a wooden box, but she suddenly realized something was wrong.

"You are..." She said hesitantly.

This spiritual elixir was the first time she met Xiao Ling. In order to prove that he was her master uncle, he specially gave her the elixir that only the master could make.The two of them also agreed that no matter how much Gu Yuchu asked, they would not say a word, leaving her anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense." Ling Buhuo warned impatiently.

Lan Ye looked at him in disbelief, and then didn't care to go into details. As if grasping a life-saving straw, he rushed over in surprise and asked in a low voice.

"Is there still a way to save Xiaochu?"

Ling Buhuo didn't respond, but stretched out his right hand and ordered: "Give it to me!"
