Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 115 Seeing Lone Goose Again
I saw that Gu Lian's face was covered with knife marks, densely packed, like a spider's web, completely destroying that original fresh and charming face.

This scene, like a perfect ceramic, suddenly fell to pieces.The broken pieces of porcelain pierced Baili Jiuge's heart sharply, she moved her lips, and it took a long time for her to utter a few words: "Gu Lian...how could...such...how did you become like this?! "

"I...my face...my face..." Gu Lian seemed to be trapped in a demon, her eyes were empty like a drained hourglass.

She raised her hand in a daze, and stroked her cheek. The blood quickly covered her hand, dripping down, and sharp pain spread from every inch of her face.

Gu Lian finally broke down and cried: "No! No! My face, no...no!"

"Gu Lian, calm down!" The madam next to her hugged her body, and kept persuading her, but only got more miserable cries.

The feeling of sadness also made Baili Jiuge a little suffocated.I am still late!Even though Gu Lian's innocence was preserved, she still suffered such a heavy loss!

Looking at the man in black with resentment, Baili Jiuge sneered, "Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? How dare you do this kind of trick! I'll just stab you to death!"

But Mo Yi's expression became solemn, and he crossed Baili Jiuge with a chuckle, threw a porcelain bottle into the hand of the madam, and said, "Hurry up and paint it on Miss Gu, if you're lucky, maybe you won't leave any scars. "

Gu Lian, who was howling, trembled slightly after hearing this, raised his face, and stared at Mo Yi suspiciously.The madam beside her simply treated the dead horse as a living horse, opened the porcelain bottle, and applied the ointment inside to Gu Lian's face.

"It hurts!" Gu Lian felt uncomfortable and wanted to touch her cheek.

But Mo Yi said: "Don't do it, of course, if you want to disfigure your face, I won't stop you."

"I..." Gu Lian stopped talking again, it seemed that as long as Mo Yi and Mo Yi got together, he would always be blocked and speechless.

But right now she didn't have the heart to waste time with Mo Yi, Gu Lian endured the pain and asked the madam to apply medicine to every scar on her face.

Then the madam helped Gu Lian up, put her coat on her body, covered the torn clothes, and sent Gu Lian to her room to rest...

When passing by Moli, Gu Lian buried her head low, not daring to let him see her ugly appearance, walking all the way, leaving only strings of tears, winding on the carpet, like two lines of Qing Dynasty brook.

Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, pulled himself together, looked at Mo Yi suspiciously, and asked, "What kind of medicine is that, can it really cure Gu Lian, without leaving scars?"

Mo Yi replied with a smile: "I said that if I'm lucky, the scar won't be left. The wound on her face is not deep after all, unlike when you were young..."

Baili Jiuge's heart twisted, she didn't know whether Mo Yi's words were intentional or unintentional.The old things are vivid in her mind, the pain she suffered when she was a child, she is glad that she still has this open-minded heart to forget that kind of harm.

However, there is no wound that can fully heal in this world, and so does her heartache!
Unable to resist being attacked by pain, Baili Jiuge's expression changed, and at this moment, she suddenly heard Mo Li's voice.

"Jiuge, come here."

She was startled and looked at Mo Li.

"Come here, come to my side." He just smiled softly, his brows and eyes were full of affection that made her fascinated.

Baili Jiuge nodded, raised his head and walked over, looked up into Mo Li's eyes, felt dizzy for a moment, as if he had been bewitched, fell into the two deep pools, his heart was beating violently .

"Silly girl, don't be sad." She heard the call of pity.

Then, the whole body was put into Mo Li's arms, his familiar body temperature, the faint fragrance of epiphyllum, possessed a magical power that even she could not explain, as if it was a gust of wind blowing through the heart, blowing away the painful mood.

"Mo Li..." She couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "Thank you, I'm fine."

"Silly girl..." He sighed, and said softly, "Don't suffer alone when you feel uncomfortable. Those things that have passed may be indelible pain to you. But I will try Erase them for you. So, don't be easily affected by those things. Okay, Jiuge?"

Baili Jiuge nodded vigorously, feeling that his heart had never been so warm.She is already satisfied to hear such heartwarming words from Mo Li's mouth. There is nothing happier than being understood and cared for.

The corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled eloquently: "Since you have said that, then you will let me laugh and scold you in the future, and when you see that I am not in the right mood, you have to be considerate and comfort me! Mo Li, you want to do as promised!"

Mo Li chuckled lightly: "Silly girl, you have learned how to invite pets, I promise you will."

"Well, that's a deal, don't cheat!"

As soon as Baili Jiuge finished speaking, he suddenly saw a figure rushing in from the window, like black smoke, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the two of them.

It was Mikage!

He is back? !
Baili Jiuge took a deep breath, hurriedly got out of Moli's embrace, rushed over to grab Yuying's wrist, and shouted: "Where is the lonely goose? Where is the goose? Where are they? Did you find them? Tell me about them!" situation, I'm going to find them!"

Yuying has always cherished words like gold, and was asked so many questions by Baili Jiuge, but she was unwilling to answer them, so she just said four words: "Come down with me."

Baili Jiuge was overjoyed, a stone that had been hanging high in his throat for a long time finally fell to the ground.At this moment, he didn't care about Mo Yi, took Mo Li, and started to push Yu Ying to lead the way quickly, leaving Mo Yi sighing helplessly behind, escorting the man in black.

Riding on the snow-satin carriage painted with epiphyllum, Baili Jiuge wished to arrive at Gu Yan's side in an instant.These days, he and Yan'er must have suffered a lot, she should have shared their troubles, but she can only look forward to their share!

Feeling too anxious, Baili Jiuge urged over and over again: "Yufeng, hurry up, hurry up!"

Urging and urging, he hurriedly changed his words: "Don't be too fast, the carriage is so crazy, how can Mo Li's body bear it!"

Seeing her contradictory appearance, Mo Li and Yu Ying looked at each other, somewhat helpless.

Then, I heard Mikage explain what happened these days.

It turned out that on that day Yuying followed Mo Li's order and quickly found Gu Yan with tracking skills. At that time, Gu Yan and the big geese had been washed away by the river. When Yu Ying carried Gu Yan ashore, Gu Yan was still alive and unconscious.

Yu Ying hurriedly squeezed out the water in Gu Yan's stomach, and gave Gu Yan his internal strength, finally hanging Gu Yan's life.

Then, he saw the Kunshan Snow Phoenix flying down the river, so he met the Snow Phoenix and went to look for wild geese together.After all, wild geese are naturally able to float, and even though they were seriously injured, they did not sink to the bottom of the river. Yuying finally found it.

Afterwards, Yu Ying handed the wild goose to Kunshan Xuehuang, and he himself carried Gu Yan on his back, found a doctor, took good care of Gu Yan's body, and told Gu Yan the ins and outs of the matter.

After going back and forth, so many days have passed, and Gu Yan is simply unharmed and has returned to the imperial capital.

Hearing what Yuying said, Baili Jiuge's mind settled down, and he hurriedly followed Yuying to welcome Gu Yan's return.

Gu Yan was housed in a family home, the head of the household was an old couple who took care of Gu Yan's body every day.

When Baili Jiuge saw Gu Yan, it was already the middle of the moon, and Gu Yan was standing alone in the courtyard of a private house, staring at the half-waned moon.

The wind whipped up the wild goose feathers under his clothes and swirled them, as if forming ocher-colored flowers.

Such a back view made Baili Jiuge suddenly feel in a trance, as if she had returned to her childhood, she was looking at the lone goose standing in front of the cliff of Phoenix Mountain, looking at the moon, wondering what she was meditating on.

And she, who was still young at that time, just stood behind her senior brother, playing with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Although Gu Yan lacks stability, you always chirp and chirp, and you are quite unreliable, but when you look at the moon The back view is very deep. Guyan, do you have something on your mind too?"

That's right, at that time, she was isolated from the world, in the Phoenix Valley, which was as beautiful as a fairyland, without any worries and desires, so she took it for granted that Gu Yan must be like her, with no worries at all.

But now, after experiencing so much, Baili Jiuge also knows what Gu Yan's deepest concern is.

Then, after Gu Yan recovers from his injury, will he go to Baili Yue to seek revenge so impulsively?
"Gu Yan." She called out.

The tall and depressed figure in front of him trembled violently, Gu Yan almost turned his head to look at it, with a clear surprise on his face.Because of his excessive movements, when the hem of his clothes fluttered, he swept up several fallen flowers on the ground and flew into the sky.

"Black Phoenix..." He murmured excitedly, and flew over, fixedly staring at Baili Jiuge, as if facing a fragile piece of porcelain, carefully stretched out his hands, clasped Baili Jiuge Song shoulders.

"Heifeng, it's really Heifeng!" This real touch made his heart feel at ease instantly, "That's great, it's really great, let senior brother see you, are you tired? Get thinner, have you become haggard, have you..."

"Okay, I don't have it anymore!" Baili Jiuge interrupted Gu Yan, for fear that he would become unreliable when he was talking, and say something like "whether you are pale and thin when you are pregnant".

Gu Yan carefully looked at Baili Jiuge, from top to bottom, from left to right, back and forth several times, and finally laughed: "That's great, our troubled brothers and sisters are finally all right."

He let go of Baili Jiuge and looked at Mo Li.A few feet away, one person was calm and the wind was clear, while the other looked a little awkward.

"...Zhou Shizi." Although Gu Yan was a little reluctant, he still saluted sincerely, "Thank you for saving my life!"

Mo Li smiled lightly, cupped his hands, "You're welcome."

Seeing Gu Yan's stinky face, Baili Jiuge couldn't help laughing silly, pointing at Gu Yan and laughing loudly: "I think you should really look in the mirror and see what your face looks like, it's so ridiculous! Gu Yan, I But I've made it clear to you, don't pick on Moli in the future, he treats me well!"

"Hiss—" Gu Yan's eyes widened, and he glared at his junior sister angrily.The god-killing Heifeng really had a man who forgot his brother, so unreasonable!
Baili Jiuge's laughter gradually stopped, and his expression became serious, and he said: "Gu Yan, there is something I want to make clear to you, and you have to answer me frankly."

She bit her lip and finished speaking in a breath: "Last time, I rushed into the ancestral hall of Baili's family and told you in the fire scene that if you still insist on revenge, I will help you. I said Baili Jiuge What you say is the water you poured out, and you will never take it back, and you will count. But, Guyan, I hope you will stop being so rash and impulsive, and at least leave yourself a way out, otherwise, what will you tell me and Master to do? How worried and sad should we be?"

Gu Yan's whole body trembled. At this moment, he was absent-minded in Baili Jiuge's words, and his heart was full of emotions. In addition to being touched, there was also a deep sense of guilt.

What he wanted to kill was her biological father!But she was still thinking about his safety, and she was always worried about him!

Such a caring and caring woman is his junior sister. She once risked her life to save him without any complaints.He is Sikong Guyan, and He Dehe can be her senior brother? !
Baili Jiuge didn't know what Gu Yan was thinking, but seeing that it was too late, he said: "You have been rushing in the Xijiang River for so long before, and the cold air accumulated on your body, you should rest more, go back to the house and sleep. And Mo Li shouldn't stay up late, I'm going back home with him too. Guyan, I'll come to see you again some day."

Gu Yan came back to his senses, responded blankly, and just watched the few people leave.

He couldn't speak, and he couldn't seem to move.That tall body, under the bleak moonlight, looks like a statue, lonely, desolate, and gradually frozen.

But soon, extreme hatred appeared in his eyes.The hatred of killing his mother is vivid in his mind, and he will never let it go!

Gu Yan vowed in his heart that he must find an opportunity to rush out and kill Bai Liyue while he was exposed to everyone's eyes, and let everyone watch him die!

On the quiet long street, a snow-satin carriage painted with epiphyllum slowly passed by.

Yufeng waved his whip and gently urged the horses, Yuying sat next to him, motionless and expressionless.

In the carriage, Baili Jiuge, who had been yelling to tell Mo Li to go back to rest earlier, is now in a deep sleep, with her slender body in Mo Li's arms, and two small hands around his neck He didn't let it go, and made two restless beeps from time to time, rubbing back and forth.

Mo Li had no choice but to deal with this bad girl, she slept soundly, but she didn't know that this kind of torture in his arms would bring him torture like burning fire.

But those who don't know are innocent, he can only bear this loss, and he can't help but sigh helplessly: "Silly girl, you are really my nemesis..."

This sentence entered Baili Jiuge's dream, and she didn't know what it was. She hummed in a daze, as if she was complaining coquettishly.

Mo Li listened carefully, but still couldn't make out what the vague words were. He shook his head helplessly, bowed his head lightly, and put his ear to Baili Jiuge's lips, intending to listen carefully.

Unexpectedly, the sleeping woman suddenly turned her face up, kissed Mo Li's face at a speed like a sneak attack, and then softened back to her sleeping posture.

Mo Li really didn't expect her to be so naughty even in her sleep, he smiled slightly, but now he could hear her clearly.

"Hmm... The barbecued pork buns in Linhai Town are so delicious! The taste has been improved, and it also has a floral fragrance... Strange, why does it taste the same as the epiphyllum on Mo Li's body... Well, the barbecued pork buns, the barbecued pork buns I made , Master has to eat it every year and festival..."

In an instant, Mo Li couldn't help laughing, even he didn't know how deep the smile on his lips was.This silly Jiuge actually took him as a barbecued pork bun in Linhai Town.

With a smile like this, he closed the crane cloak with one hand, and rewrapped Baili Jiuge's joints that were leaking due to the action just now, with gentle and careful movements.

The carriage was moving slowly, the white moon in the sky was slightly warm, inside the carriage, it was quiet and warm...

a few days later.

Da Shangguo ushered in a special day: the annual practice of exorcising ghosts.

Every year on this day, the court will hold a large-scale ceremony as a national sacrifice to drive away the ghosts and evil spirits in the capital.

This year, Emperor Zhaoyi paid special attention to the establishment of Buddhist rituals.The Minister of Rites also deliberately turned over the almanac to determine the auspicious time for a good day.

As for the Taoist priest who presided over the exorcism, it was used by the Dashang Kingdom on the sacrificial occasions. According to the usual practice, there should also be a general as the protector to ensure the smooth progress of the ritual.

Therefore, Bai Liyue, the great general of Fengguo, was promoted to the position of guardian.

On the 23rd day of the eighth month of the Gengzi year, the practice ceremony began.

Early in the morning, the air was good, Baili Jiuge followed Mo Li, standing under the sacrificial field.

Surrounded by dense yellow talismans, banner cloth, Tai Chi Liangyi plate, Sixiang Bagua array, and peach wood swords hanging long and short, the dust whisks and turquoise magic tools in the hands of the mages on the altar waved over Dancing in the past, I was dazzled by watching Baili Jiuge.

Boring, really boring.

Baili Jiuge looked up at the sky, feeling very funny in his heart.These rich and powerful people are absurd and ignorant on weekdays, and when they encounter disasters, they go to pray to gods and worship Buddha.If she were a god, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to this ceremony of inviting gods to exorcise ghosts. It's like acting, it's so boring!

Involuntarily stretched, Da Lala yawned.

Seeing Baili Jiuge's casual appearance, several princes and princes who were close to him whispered to each other, showing disgusted expressions.As for her, she didn't worry about it.

The ceremony proceeded slowly, one process after another.Baili Jiuge became more and more sleepy, and yawned several times in a row, wanting to close his eyes and sleep.

But at this moment, something she never expected happened.

Originally, the mages had completed the first round of ceremonies, retreated from the altar, and changed to Baili Yue to go up, and performed the ceremony of protecting the Dharma in the posture of dancing swords.

Unexpectedly, when Bai Liyue stood alone in the center of the altar, a figure suddenly jumped out of the distant woods and flew towards the center of the altar, like a shooting star, quickly chasing the sun, It's almost impossible to see his outline.

But Baili Jiuge recognized the man the moment he appeared.

Lone goose! ?
A heart suddenly pulled out of his throat.Gu Yan, came here alone!What is this for? !
