Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 91 The Hungry Ghost Festival shocked the past, the Penglai Saintess
Snowflakes are falling one after another, and the carriage painted with epiphyllum is heading for the former Zuo Xiang's mansion - today's Duke Huguo's mansion.

Yin Liehuosu raised the curtain of the car, saw the red figure standing under the door of Shizi Mansion gradually disappear behind the closed door, put down the curtain, looked at Mo Li who was sitting opposite, and murmured: "She... is sad."

Mo Li remained silent, the brilliance at the bottom of her eyes was hidden under the shadow of her eyelashes.

Yin Liehuo said again: "She's jealous."

Mo Li responded softly, raised his eyes, and at this moment the bottom of the pool was flickering, but he said indifferently: "I went to Qiuhang a few days ago, and his mission went well, but Wenyang sent a letter from Zhou Guo, and brought it up." Now that Mo Xun seems to have restrained himself a lot, the Taotie Sect seems to have disappeared for a while, this may be suspicious."

Yin Liehuo smiled softly, and suddenly asked: "When can you go back to Zhou Kingdom?"

"It's not the time yet." Mo Li's expression was slightly turbulent, and he asked, "Do you want to go to Zhou Kingdom with me?"

Yin Liehuo nodded fixedly, looked at the blurred street view outside the window, and said coolly: "My parents have gone, and I have nothing to miss about this Shang country. When I think of the capital, I only have hatred... I just want to follow you , I can help you with some calculations, Yin Haoyi, I will settle the accounts with him after all!"

Mo Li didn't say a word, and the bottom of the snow-like eyes of the ancient cave seemed to be brewing something. Just when Yin Liehuo thought he would not speak, he said abruptly: "Two years have been endured, and a little more time will not be enough." It doesn't matter, what they owe me, I will definitely recover the principal with interest in the future, including the debt from your parents."

"Then... what about Jiuge?" Yin Liehuo suddenly asked seriously: "Her, how do you arrange it?"

Mo Li's expression darkened, and the dim light coming in from the window fell on him, black and white were clearly distinguished between the light and shadow, he said: "I said this morning, one day I will send her away safely, I only hope that during these days, Nothing more will happen to her."

Hearing this, Yin Liehuo felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors in his heart, and asked quietly: "If someone as persistent as her really sends her away, she will definitely refuse, and her heart will definitely be twisted like a knife."

Mo Li's eyes were deep, and she sighed slowly: "Even so, I have to think about her safety. She is different from you and me. She doesn't want to be splashed with dirty water, and she can't bear the slightest grievance by the people around her. She can do whatever she wants. Presumptuous. Such a silly girl doesn't know how to stab in the back of the city, and if she follows me, she will be covered with bruises." After saying this, she smiled gently and asked: "How did you do with the 'thousand needles like rain' I taught you earlier? ?”

Yin Liehuosu raised her hand slightly, with dense golden needles between her fingers, she said with a slight smile: "I have experienced almost all the essentials, but I still can't control the strength properly, and I still need your advice."

"Well, you're welcome." Responding with a slight smile, narrowing his eyes slightly, he watched Yin Liehuo driving thousands of golden needles in this small carriage, flying like golden fluff.

Yin Liehuo concentrated on his expression, manipulating the golden needle back and forth, there was a serene killing intent flowing in his heart that was already ashamed.

She has made up her mind that she will only be loyal to Mo Li for the rest of her life, no matter what he does, she will do her best to help him.Thinking of the day when her mother threw herself into the lake, when she got up from the wheelchair, her legs did run a few steps... She believed that under the treatment of the prescription given by the ghost doctor, one day she would be able to look like Stand up like a normal person.Until then, it will be the day when she is completely at odds with this big business!
……

Zhong Shan.

Because of that snowstorm in June, Zhong Shan put on silver clothes.

When the snow clears and the sky clears, the continuous mountains are still shrouded in mist as if bathed in an illusion.

Gradually, the weather returned to the heat of summer, the snow melted, and the mountains were moist and lush. The hibiscus flowers in the mountains also bloomed, and the big flowers were very bright.

Before he knew it, Baili Jiuge had lived here for more than a month.

These days, the senior ghost doctor is still going out early and returning late every day. He seems to wish he could search all the medicinal herbs in the mountains, and he has searched countless ancient caves.Every night, he would hang up the little silver sling and start refining medicine, constantly holding the cattail leaf fan to control the firepower.

Baili Jiuge still didn't know what kind of pill the senior ghost doctor wanted to make. She once asked, but the ghost doctor sighed melancholy and didn't answer.Baili Jiuge simply stopped asking, and concentrated on taking care of Ziqi, working hard without complaint.

In his spare time, the ghost doctor will also invite Baili Jiuge to teach her some detoxification methods of uncommon poisons, and pass her some medical skills along the way.

That night, Ziqi fell asleep, and Baili Jiuge stretched out of the thatched cottage, wandering all the way to the col.

The col was originally pitch black, but there was a little fire in the distance, and the black smoke rose up, making the moonlight hazy.She looked at it in surprise, and suddenly realized that someone was burning paper money.

Baili Jiuge, let's go and see.

I guessed right, there was indeed a young man squatting under a tree, burning paper money, chanting something, until Baili Jiuge came close, he slowly turned his face away, and immediately jumped like a spring, He fell to the ground with his buttocks, and shouted in fear: "Ghost! Ghost! Don't kill me, I, I am a good person, and my life is not over yet!"

Baili Jiuge said speechlessly: "Stop shouting, do I look like a ghost?"

The man trembled and shouted in horror: "Red...you are like a ghost in red!"

"Bullshit!" Why would a red-clothed ghost be a red-clothed ghost?Baili Jiuge said angrily: "I am a person who lives in the mountains, okay? Seeing the fire here, come over and have a look. I don't want to be treated as a female ghost, it's just ridiculous!"

"Ah?" The man blinked and asked timidly, "You...are you really not a ghost?"

"Nonsense, isn't it?" Baili Jiuge didn't bother to explain anymore, and said, "You are really a person. Since you are so afraid of ghosts, why do you come to Zhongshan alone to burn paper? Do you think that the strangers you see at night are all Is it a ghost?"

"This, of course it's not..." The man explained embarrassingly: "The main reason is that this month is July... July is also called ghost month, and it's not like you don't know it."

"I know, is that why?"

"Of course, otherwise what could it be because of it?" The man said: "The ghost moon is the most cloudy. Generally speaking, I don't go out at this time of the year. Often there are many people who get sick during the ghost month, and their illnesses are still serious. It will get worse..."

Baili Jiuge's face suddenly changed, and he couldn't stop thinking of Mo Li at this moment.I haven't seen him for more than a month, and she misses him every day in her spare time. I don't know if he stays up late, pays attention to his body, and... goes to accompany Li Huo.

However, why did I forget that this month is July, and the world is full of gloom, wouldn't Mo Li be able to...

Quickly asked: "Which day is today in July?"

"Hey?" The man stared at Baili Jiuge in surprise, and said, "Isn't it the Hungry Ghost Festival on July [-]th, or else I wouldn't be so scared when I saw you!"

Hungry Ghost Festival? !

The heart of Baili Jiuge suddenly trembled. The Ghost Festival is also known as the "Ghost Festival" and "Ulan Basin Festival" in the folks. It is the day when the legendary evil spirits return to the sun. Afraid of ink dripping...

She flung herself away in a hurry, soared into the air, stepped on the branches and crazily headed towards the direction of Chaodu, which made the man behind her startled and shouted in horror: "Can, can fly? Ghost! She really is Fierce ghost in red! Help, help, help!"

This series of howling ghosts and wolves has been forgotten by Baili Jiuge, and now his heart is full of ink, how can he care about other things?

But when he thought that Ziqi still needed to be taken care of, Baili Jiuge felt dizzy. After thinking about it, he decided to bring Mo Li to Zhongshan, just in time to let the senior ghost doctor take care of him.

When I first returned to the capital, the streets were full of lanterns, like lotus flowers of different colors, hanging all over the walls of the streets, illuminating the way home for the dead.On the corner of the street not far away, someone set up a dojo, where steamed buns were placed for the dead.

Baili Jiuge anxiously crossed the street and ran towards Shizi Mansion.

When passing through a wide river in the capital city, I saw countless lotus boats and painted boats on the river from a distance. The colorful ripples bloomed all over the river and continued towards the horizon.

This scene reminds Baili Jiuge that when he was a child, his master once said that the word "lamp" means "waiting", waiting for the lamp, and people setting off the lamp to express their grief and also to wait for the journey. People return, or wait for the dead to return home on the day of the Ghost Festival, and get together again.

Such a beautiful and warm picture scroll seemed a little far away to her. She was like an outsider, passing by in this world in a hurry.

Suddenly, I heard someone saying: "This lamp is for my mother. Although my mother treated me very badly when I was young, I am the only one left in the world now. I will still miss her..."

Baili Jiuge's footsteps stopped suddenly, a cruel feeling seized her heart, and a sneer burst out of her lips.

What a similar situation!What an ironic reality!
She couldn't help turning her face away, seeing the speaker putting on the lamp alone, feeling empty and uncomfortable in her heart, she simply took a little time to put a lamp on for her cruel and ruthless mother, just as a little gift for her daughter Mind it.

So, I bought a bright red lotus lantern on the side of the street, walked to the river, lowered my body, and sent the lantern in.

The bright red lotus lantern floats gently on the water, slowly, like many floating lanterns, along the river, towards the center of the river.Baili Jiuge's eyes followed it, and his cold heart seemed to warm up, his expression involuntarily became a little more peaceful, just watching the lamp gradually drifting away...

But at this time, a painted boat passed by, and the bright red lotus lantern lightly bumped into the painted boat, stopped in place and spun.

Baili Jiuge moved his gaze upwards and looked at the painting boat, at this moment he was speechless.

Ink... dripping...?
She looked at him in surprise. Across the thousands of mottled floating lights, he was wearing a white crane cloak, which seemed to have the same color as the moonlight, so spotless.The brows are elegant and picturesque, and the moon-like eyes, the moment they saw her, there were shallow waves, as if looking from a thousand feet of soft red, passing through the floating light amazingly, soft as if they would break when pinched.

Baili Jiuge was bewildered, staring blankly at Mo Li on the boat, it took him a long time to realize what happened, he jumped up suddenly, stepped through the water and landed on the boat amidst the exclamation of everyone.

"Mo Li!" She ran over, and seeing that Mo Li hadn't put her hand in the brocade, she quickly took his hand and stuffed it in, and scolded: "The yin energy on July [-]th is so heavy, why don't you Take a good rest, is your body still able to take it now?"

Mo Li looked at her softly, his eyes were indescribably peaceful, he said softly: "It's okay, it's much better than the day of getting married, the yin energy on that day was the heaviest in the Gengzi Year."

"Is that so?" She blinked, and said suddenly, "Don't try to fool me, I want to hear you tell the truth!"

"That's the truth, I'm fine."

Hearing that Mo Li's tone was not too weak, Baili Jiuge believed it after all, and was about to ask him what he was doing here with a painting boat, but in the blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of another person on board.

It was Rong Weijun, still wearing the loose yellow clothes that didn't fit his body, with a short jade flute hanging around his waist, and he came over with a smile on his sleeves, and teased: "It's true that life never meets again, Jiuge, are you here from Zhongshan?"

Baili Jiuge was stunned, thinking that Xiao Rong knew her identity anyway, so she didn't shy away, and replied with a smile: "Yes, one of my sisters was stung by a poisonous scorpion, and I have been taking care of her these days."

"Is there such a thing?" Rong Weijun narrowed his eyes.

Mo Li replied, "It's Ziqi."

At this moment, Rong Weijun's face seemed to have changed a few times, he was as weird as a pickle, he quickly raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said with a smile: "That's it, hehe..." Speaking of which, I won't stop said.

Baili Jiuge looked at it, always felt a little strange, and couldn't tell what Rong Weijun meant, so he didn't mention it.She looked back at Mo Li, and saw that he was holding a white lotus lantern as if he was going to put the lantern on the side of the boat, so she walked towards Rong Weijun, pulled Rong Weijun's sleeve to the other end of the boat, and asked with a smile: "Are you honest?" Tell me, how is Mo Li's health during this time?"

Rong Weijun lazily said: "Of course it's still the same, the good is not much better, and of course the bad is not too bad, anyway, you can rest assured."

Of course she is worried!Seeing Mo Li leaning over slowly at this moment, he asked Rong Weijun again: "Did you rent the boat? Who is Mo Li lighting up for?"

Rong Weijun's expression changed slightly, his pupils like peach blossom pools were rippled, as if he was a little sad.He looked at Mo Li, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and he sighed, "It's for his mother."

"Mo Li's mother?" Baili Jiuge remembered what Mo Li had said, that his mother died suddenly on Qixi Festival when he was six years old.

With a thought, she asked suddenly: "Since you and Mo Li are very familiar, do you know what happened to Mo Li when he was a child? It's like he was under the Yin-Yang curse."

Mr. Rong Wei said: "After all, I am five years younger than Mo Li. I haven't seen many things, but I have heard a lot..." He thought for a while, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he said: "Nine Ge, do you want to know? There are some things that Mo Li won't tell you, but if you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

Baili Jiuge noticed that Rong Weijun's attitude was extremely serious at the moment, she replied firmly according to her heart: "Tell me, I want to know what happened to Mo Li, about him , I must know!"

Rong Weijun smiled, glanced at Mo Li over there and glanced at them shallowly, Rong Weijun smiled shyly, ignored Mo Li, and said in a low voice to Baili Jiuge: "Jiaxu Year's At that time, the Penglai Kingdom suddenly announced that the holy girl was married to the Central Plains, have you heard of this?"

Baili Jiuge was taken aback, how did Xiao Rong get here?She said, "I've heard of it."

"Then do you know who the saint is married to?"

"This... I have never heard of this, and it seems to be a mystery among the nations."

"That's right, it's a mystery. Even in Penglai Kingdom, only the Xia family of the royal family, the Si family of the emperor's family, and the Duan family of the priest's family know about it. And only a few people in the family know about the place where the holy girl married. The whole thing was almost done in secret."

Baili Jiuge was surprised: "Why is this happening? Who is the saintess married to?"

Rong Weijun glanced at Moli, and said meaningfully: "It is the monarch of Zhou Kingdom, Mo Yang."

Zhou's... monarch?
Baili Jiuge was stunned, as if he had endured the beating of a stormy sea in an instant, violent shocks set off in his mind.She almost opened her eyes and asked: "You mean, the Penglai saint is... Mo Li's mother?!"

"Yes." Rong Weijun nodded.

Baili Jiuge was shocked and lost his voice for a while.

Rong Weijun continued: "Even Mo Li didn't know the reason for this secret marriage, but what happened when he was six years old, in the Year of the Renwu... first, on the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, when he was pregnant... The eight-month-old saint was told that Penglai had been destroyed for a year. She was emotional for a while, and gave birth to a girl on the sixth day of July, but the girl disappeared that night. On the seventh day of July, the saint died suddenly, and the cause of death is unknown And on the eighth day of the seventh month, someone cast a yin and yang curse on Mo Li. At that time, his two concubines were eager to get rid of him. Fortunately, Mrs. Yao arrived in time and took him away. Otherwise, you can also think of What will be the consequences."

Baili Jiuge couldn't speak, but felt that every word she heard was like a sword, stabbing her heart continuously, and the feeling of blood dripping down her throat, she was so excited that she could even taste the blood smell.

At that time, Mo Li was only six years old, but in those few days, he almost suffered all the blows that many people would never bear in their lifetime.So, is it because of this that she feels that Mo Li's endurance is beyond ordinary people?Perhaps the humiliation he suffered as a proton, compared with the blows he suffered when he was young, is simply that the sea was too difficult for him!

Panting excitedly, Baili Jiuge looked at Mo Li, under the moonlight, his slender figure stood alone, his eyes followed the floating lantern far away, as if he was alone in the world.

Feeling bitter and astringent in his heart, Baili Jiuge gritted his teeth, recalled what Mr. Si Rongwei said, and suddenly realized that he had missed something.

"Xiao Rong, you just said that the Saintess of Penglai gave birth to a girl on the sixth day of the seventh month of Renwu Year?"

"Yes, that's Mo Li's own sister, but it's a pity that she disappeared that day, and she still doesn't know where she is."

Baili Jiuge was stunned again.Mo Li... actually has a younger sister?The sixth day of the seventh month of the Renwu year, and this day again, is it a girl who was born on the same day as myself, Lie Huo, and Gu Lian?Born without parents...

She swallowed bitterly, polished her bright eyes, and asked again: "Do you and Mo Li know something strange about the sudden death of the Saintess of Penglai?"

Rong Weijun said meaningfully: "If anyone knows, things will not be as they are today. Anyway, I always feel that what happened to Mo Li in the past seems to have been premeditated earlier, but now , this premeditation should still not be over." He finally smiled helplessly: "Perhaps, there will be something recorded in the library in the imperial palace of the imperial capital. It is said that there are all rumors and secrets in the library of the imperial capital .”

Baili Jiuge hurriedly said: "Then why don't you go to the Library Pavilion to look for the recorded books?"

"If I could go, let alone Mo Li, even I would have already gone." Rong Weijun shrugged helplessly, "The Zangshu Pavilion is heavily guarded, full of traps, and the key is in the hands of King Chen. If you don't ask him to borrow the key, It's absolutely unwise to break in directly. It's a pity that the library hides too many secrets of the Shang Kingdom. Without the permission of Emperor Zhaoyi, King Chen would not lend the key to anyone. As for stealing the key, this is even more important. It's not feasible, that man Chen Wang has some skills, he can't be underestimated."

Baili Jiuge nodded, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he told himself over and over again that he must find a way to enter the Library Pavilion and find all the records about the death of the Penglai Kingdom and the Penglai Saintess.It is impossible to ask Yin Haoyi for a license, so I can only ask Yin Haochen.

However, could Yin Haochen, a well-behaved person, agree to her?
Unless it is, unless it is...

At this moment, a bold idea appeared in Baili Jiuge's mind, and she couldn't help being surprised by this idea.

That's right, although Yin Haochen is unlikely to agree to her, he is very likely to agree to the fairy in black who saved him!Or Bai Qiang who has the same face as the fairy in black!
But if this is the case, how will he end up?
The little hands couldn't help but clenched into fists... Forget it, I can't think about it anymore, take every step counting, you can't miss the opportunity for nothing!

She secretly made up her mind that tomorrow, as Bai Qiang, she will invite Yin Haochen to view the paintings, and beg him to lend her the key to the library!
