Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 222 Picking the Spirit Grass
That fire fountain?

At the moment when she smelled it, Baili Jiuge only felt a tingling pain in her ears, and then the tingling pain went in from her ears, binding her like a spider.

As Mo Li told her, the fire spring spewed out fire and magma, making it look like a volcano for several miles around, with no grass growing.

She didn't even need to guess, she knew how scary the heat was!
"Jiu Ge, calm down." Mo Li pressed against her face, comforting her in a low voice, glanced at Yin Haochen, and sighed: "King Chen knows that the flames have formed many barriers around the fire spring, forming a huge barrier like A labyrinth-like layout. Just under the fire spring, there is a kind of spiritual grass that protects the fetus, but anyone who wants to pick the spiritual grass... will not survive."

Thunder rolled in Yin Haochen's heart, and his whole body trembled.

Mo Li said: "Because of the maze formed by many walls of fire, no one can go to the end. Princess Chen is the spiritual daughter of the Yanling family. Only she can go to the end of the maze. However, the temperature there is too high , flesh and blood is simply unbearable...I'm afraid that those who died near the fire spring, even their bones were burnt to nothing."

No!At this moment, Yin Haochen almost fell to the ground.The pain hit the chest crazily, hitting thousands of collaterals and veins.

Pain, why is it so painful, why is it so painful?Even the fingernails under the sleeve robe pricked blood on the fist, but he didn't feel it anymore.

He doesn't believe it, he can't believe it... If he doesn't believe that the person who was rescued last night will be taken away by death again today.

Why has he never been able to - fail to protect his woman!

Baili Jiuge stretched out her small hand, and finally got her wish and pinched Yin Haochen's sleeve. She pinched tightly, "I can't let Wu Niannian enter the fire spring. This is my own fault. I can't implicate her like this!"

She yelled: "Huang'er, come quickly, come quickly!"

Under this wailing cry, the Kunshan Snow Phoenix, with a tacit understanding, flapped its wings and flew from nowhere. Because it felt Baili Jiuge's anxious heart, the white feathers fluttered hysterically.

"Jiuge, slow down." Mo Li helped her up, led her to the bed slowly, bowed and helped her put on her shoes, and then couldn't help but hug Baili Jiuge horizontally.

She yelled in Mo Li's arms: "Let's go quickly, Huang'er is flying fast, maybe there is still time!"

Is there still time... Mo Li carried Baili Jiuge out of the house, and together they landed on the back of Kunshan Xuehuang.

He remained silent, but he knew in his heart that Jiu Ge had been in a coma for almost two hours, and Princess Chen might have walked into the fire spring.

That's too late……

fire spring.

The poisonous flames billowed.

The turbulent poisonous flames rushed around, turning into a huge labyrinth with nine twists and ten rings.

In this scorched area of ​​death, Wu Niannian walked step by step, his face, which was already lacking in blood, became paler and paler under the reflection of the poisonous fire.

It's hot, it's so hot, the scorching temperature around her seems to have suffocated her throat, and when she opened it slightly, it swelled and hurt endlessly.

As she walked with difficulty, her feet fell into the dry cracked ground several times, and she fell on the flames in embarrassment, and her clothes were burned into pieces.

Never knew that there is such a living purgatory in this world.

When he got up again, there was a faint stabbing pain on his face.Wu Niannian stretched out his hand to wipe it, and the place he touched was as painful as a needle prick, with black and yellow pus sticking between his fingers.

Her face was actually burned.

Staring at the front, the fire is all fire, not only in front, but also in all directions.She took a step and continued to walk, but she couldn't see the color of the sky, she only knew that the surroundings were full of fire.

There are countless fork roads created by the poisonous fire, and corpses, blackened bones, and even ashes are all over the ground.Wu Niannian couldn't bear to step on these dead people, so she bypassed, walked among the nine twists and ten rings, and walked towards the center with difficulty.

It's hot, it's so hot, she seems to have jumped into a sword furnace to die for the sword, as if the next moment, she will be melted into water alive!

The closer you are to the fire spring, the more unbearable the heat wave will be.Wu Niannian felt that the sole of her shoe had been burned, and her feet trembled from the cruel burning pain, but she still walked resolutely.

Finally, the fire spring arrived, and Wu Niannian fell in front of a clump of glowing spiritual grass, and it took a lot of effort to pick the next one, two more, three...

She got up from the ground when her lip was bitten and blood came out.With naked clothes and sparks still shining on his clothes, Wu Niannian didn't dare to look at the fire spring, for fear that if he delays for a while, he won't have the energy to go out.

One step, two steps, gradually moved away.

Wu Niannian followed the way he came, and walked away step by step, his mental strength was already on the verge of limit.

High in the sky, the Kunshan Snow Phoenix flew by, and according to Mo Li's guidance, was approaching the piece of purgatory on earth.

Baili Jiuge leaned against Mo Li's arms, poked her neck anxiously, her mind was full of Wu Niannian's safety.

According to what Mo Li said, that fire spring is within the territory of Zhou State, not far from the famine area.Wu Niannian must have been riding a horse all the way here, but that horse would probably retreat due to the high temperature, and in the end Wu Niannian had to go in alone!
"Mo Li, Yin Haochen, look quickly!"

She found that piece of scorched red land, with steaming heat and black smoke constantly rising, looking from a high altitude, it looked like a furnace boiling molten iron.

Wu Niannian thought of her, and actually went into that kind of place?Just thinking about it made Baili Jiuge's heart ache.

When she was excited, she heard Yin Haochen muttering the word "Niannian" in pain, she snorted, she had no intention of explaining anything to Yin Haochen at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Huang'er, rush down, we must find Wu Niannian and pick her up." come over!"

Kunshan Xuehuang uttered a long song like a flute, responded to the nine songs of Baili, then adjusted its balance, and swooped down.The wind fluttered against her face, but was blocked by Mo Li's body. He held Baili Jiuge in his arms to prevent her from feeling the slightest chill.

However, as he got closer to the purgatory, an unimaginable heat wave hit him violently, making Baili Jiuge so scorched that he could hardly breathe in an instant.

Sweat soaked his clothes immediately, Baili Jiuge gritted his teeth, and told himself that this was nothing compared to Wu Niannian's situation, however, Kunshan Xuehuang, who was sitting down, couldn't hold on any longer.

"Huang'er!" Sensing Kunshan Xuehuang's difficulty in walking, and even seeing its pure white feathers burnt quite a bit, Baili Jiuge's heart fluttered.

She couldn't let Huang'er be roasted any longer, but Wu Niannian...

"Kunshan Snow Phoenix, leave." Mo Li made a prompt decision.

This sentence surprised Baili Jiuge, and she looked at him in a daze.

"Mo Li, you..."

"Kunshan Snow Phoenix can't hold on, if something happens to it, we will all fall into the poisonous flames, we can't take this risk."

"Mo Li..." Baili Jiuge knew that what he said was right, but his heart was tormented.

The Kunshan Snow Phoenix gradually retreated, and the momentum of its flight became more stable. It landed on the edge of this purgatory, its wings danced in the wind, trying to drive away the burning heat wave.

Mo Li hugged Baili Jiuge to the ground, and as soon as the soles of his boots touched the soil, he felt as if he was stepping on a red-hot iron block, scorched layer by layer.

"Jiu Ge, stay here and don't move, I'll go over and have a look."

He said softly, and carefully put Baili Jiuge down on the ground, his face as warm as jade was already stained with sweat, and the bottom of his moon-like eyes was reflecting the murderous poisonous fire.

With his eyes closed, his eyelashes trembling like butterfly wings, he approached Purgatory calmly.

Beside him, Yin Haochen had strode towards him, his sleeves fluttering.

Mo Li glanced at him lightly, and Yin Haochen's anxious and anxious behavior, which was almost irritable, was also fully observed by Mo Li.Averting his eyes, he said indifferently: "Prince Chen, if you had known that you would look forward to the autumn water today, you shouldn't have treated Princess Chen like that in the past. Faced with this situation, Prince Chen, you will regret it."

Do you regret it?He couldn't tell, he couldn't tell what mood he was in at all!I just felt that there were so many strange emotions coming out of my heart, like poisonous fire, crazily trying to burn him up.

Looking at the backs of the two, Baili Jiuge called out: "Mo Li, Yin Haochen, be careful... no, don't get closer. Wu Niannian is like this because of me, even if he wants to go in, it should be me! "

The slender body was approaching Purgatory, and when he passed by Mo Li, he hugged him around the waist and hugged him horizontally again.

Both feet left the ground, Baili Jiuge looked at the sea of ​​fire in agony, and beat Mo Li's shoulder with distress, "Mo Li, how big is this fire spring, Wu Niannian—"

He stopped abruptly before he finished speaking, just because he saw something in the corner of his eye.

She couldn't believe if what she saw was Wu Niannian, but how she wished it was!As long as Wu Niannian can come out safely, it will be better than anything else!
"Nian, Niannian..." Until I heard Yin Haochen's hoarse humming in joy, something exploded in Baili Jiuge's heart, and a heart finally fell to the ground.

She turned her eyes and shouted excitedly: "Wu Niannian!"

That person was really Wu Niannian, as if he had stepped out of purgatory, completely changed.Her slender body could no longer be covered by a skirt, but her body was covered with layers of dirt and ashes.She still had burns on her face, her bun was all loose, and she was as weak as a dying lamp!

Even Mo Li, who had never changed his expression, was moved by this miserable scene.But there was a smile on the corner of Wu Niannian's lips, no one could tell what kind of smile it was, whether it was gratification, luck, farewell, or...

All I could see was that she was walking step by step, barefoot, her shoes had been burned, and the soles of her feet were burnt.Only that smile, pure as a cloud, gentle as a bamboo, is so unearthly.

For a time, the heat wave, burning fire, and scorched world seemed to turn into clear clouds and clear wind.Only she smiled and raised the three fluorescent plants in her hand.

"Jiuge, Lingcao... Nian Nian has found... Your child will not be the same as Nian Nian's child... and left..."

These words caused Baili Jiuge's heart wall to collapse.The voice collided from his throat: "Wu Niannian, you are doing this for me because you don't want to see me suffer the same thing as you?!"

"I'm actually..." She opened her lips, and suddenly, her raised hand fell weakly, just like the slanted body.

"Nian Nian!" Yin Haochen caught her and fell to his knees.

He has never seen Wu Niannian look so weak, no, this is not weak anymore, she is dying, she is dying!
The painful and sharp cut open the chest cavity, hitting Yin Haochen's chest, blood dripping.The pain was so intense that he almost burst into tears, he hugged the fragile person like a lonely soul in his arms, and cried out in pain: "Don't die, Nian Nian, this king ordered you not to die! "

"My lord..." Wu Niannian moaned angrily.Death, what a bland word, she who killed the whole clan should have died long ago...

But she couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear this person who hurt her like that, and she couldn't bear Jiu Ge who was kind to her.

Death is not scary, what she is afraid of is that after leaving them, she will be alone again.

She was so scared of being alone!
"Nian Nian! Nian Nian!" Yin Haochen roared hysterically.

Wu Niannian could feel that his hand was pressing against her back, channeling the inner strength for her.

However, she couldn't hold on anymore, she just felt that her body was getting lighter and farther away, and something vague and warm was gradually enveloping her...

"My lord..." She managed to hold her breath, "You are so distressing... In the end, Nian Nian couldn't help you... After Nian Nian left, you must... take good care of yourself..."

The little hand slid down, and on the weakly spread palm, the fluorescent-colored spiritual grass dazzled the whole world.

At this moment, Yin Haochen's mournful cry resounded through the endless scorched earth, like a mourner who lost his partner, startled the sun and the moon.

She is dead.

She actually... died.

Why is the heart so empty, empty as if only the rolling poisonous fire is raging, even the pain has been numb, only the fire is left, burning all sanity, and it seems to have burned the rest of his life.

He lost everything, even her.

He actually failed to protect her in the end!He deserves to die, he deserves to die, the most damned person is him, Yin Haochen!

"Niannian, Niannian..."

Broken growl, as if begging her to open her eyes and come back to him, just hearing it, it will break your heart.

Baili Jiuge was paralyzed in Mo Li's arms. He didn't know what the tears were, but only knew that his eyes were empty, water, all water, constantly dripping down his eye sockets, the whole world was a mixture of water and fire, and the pain penetrated to the bone marrow!

However, Mo Li was shocked suddenly, put Baili Jiuge down, then quickly walked to Yin Haochen's side, bent down, picked up Wu Niannian's wrist, and pressed her pulse...

Then, when Yin Haochen was in a daze, Mo Li stretched out his finger and pointed at Wu Niannian like lightning.Yin Haochen and Baili Jiuge were stunned, only then did they realize that Mo Li had sealed Wu Niannian's meridians.

This kind of behavior made Baili Jiuge realize something, and quickly shook off tears, saying in surprise: "Mo Li, Wu Niannian—"

"There is still a breath left, and there is still a way to live."
