Both worlds are like dreams
Chapter 34 Antidote for Blood Gu
Wei Yunzhou held the handkerchief in his hand, frowning slightly. He turned and came to Gu Qinglan's room. He had been waiting for news and discussing countermeasures in Jinxiu Tower.
"Brother Wei," Gu Qinglan stood up and saluted, "is there any news?"
Wei Yunzhou sat at the table and unfolded the handkerchief in his hand.
Gu Qinglan took a look and said, "This is Miss Xuehuang's handkerchief."
Wei Yunzhou nodded, "She is in the Hanxi Palace."
"What?" Gu Qinglan was shocked.
"Luoning brought back news that Mo Yunchen had left the palace that night, and the time before and after basically matches."
"If King Han Xi takes her away, her situation will be very dangerous." Gu Qinglan frowned. They already had a feud between them, so why did he take Xue Huang away at this time?
“Not necessarily.” Wei Yunzhou gestured for him to look at the simple picture on Xue Huang’s handkerchief. “This is the message she conveyed.”
"What does this symbol mean?" Gu Qinglan asked puzzledly.
"Be safe. Use stillness to overcome movement." Wei Yunzhou said succinctly.
"This... please give me some advice, Brother Wei."
Wei Yunzhou glanced at the "smiley face". It was drawn extremely simply and crudely, just a circle with two crescent moons and upturned corners of the mouth.
Many years ago, Xue Huang mischievously entered the Ghost Forest of Guigu, which was a maze set up by Mr. Guigu. There were countless poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts inside, and anyone who entered it would not be able to get out unless they knew the art of Qimen Dunjia.
When he learned that she had walked in, Mr. Guigu personally took Wei Yunzhou and Rong Yu to look for her. In the end, they found her based on the simple smiling face that Xuehuang had carved under the tree.
Not only was she safe and sound at the time, she also beat the bear in the forest so hard that the bear shrank into a cave with tears in its eyes.
Later, Rong Yu asked her why she carved such a strange symbol. She talked about all sorts of things, and Wei Yunzhou only remembered one sentence, which meant that her situation was safe and even under her control.
But Wei Yunzhou was obviously not a talkative person, and simply explained: "The situation is under her control. As for these lines, they are the third move of the Seven Wounds Sword Technique." Then he picked up a brush and showed it in front of Gu Qinglan.
Gu Qinglan secretly admired her. He didn't expect Xue Huang to use this method to pass on the message. At the same time, he was relieved. He finally put his mind at ease when he learned that she was fine.
"So what does she mean by using stillness to control motion?"
"Wait." Wei Yunzhou said. "Mo Yunchen is good at making poison and refining Gu. Combined with the previous speculation, Xu Yao may have been controlled by Mo Yunchen. That bottle may be related to him."
"In your opinion, Brother Wei, why did King Han Xi take Miss Xue Huang away?" Gu Qinglan frowned.
Wei Yunzhou frowned, thinking back to the information that Shanhemen had found out before. Although the palace often bought maids, they had never been seen in the palace. No one saw them alive, and no one saw their bodies after they died. It was as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.
However, Xue Huang was still able to deliver the message at this time, and it was Bai Yu, the mortal enemy of Phantom, who delivered the message. I don’t know what kind of clever method he used, which shows that she is still safe now.
"Maybe, he wants to restrain you and me." Wei Yunzhou said.
Gu Qinglan lowered his eyes, hiding the worry in his eyes. He should have stopped her at that time, and he should not have left her alone.
.........
Xue Huang didn't sleep well the whole night. She kept dreaming. Sometimes she dreamed about fighting with Mo Yunchen in the snow, and sometimes she dreamed about Gu Qinglan being convicted. But what she dreamed about most was how to unlock the mechanism of the secret door.
She woke up before dawn and walked out of the room alone. Wei Yunzhou should have received her message. She believed that he had that tacit understanding.
"Go to the secret door again," said the voice in the gem, "I have a guess."
"Is it reliable?"
"More reliable than you."
Xue Huang immediately left the courtyard and walked towards Mo Yunchen's study. When she arrived at the courtyard, she suddenly felt a murderous aura.
"Hide," Jewel reminded her.
Xue Huang immediately ran behind the rockery, took a deep breath and observed the situation outside.
Then a figure in black came in with a sword in hand. Xue Huang was surprised to find it was Xu Yao. His sword was still dripping with blood, and with his evil ghost mask, he looked like a visitor from hell.
The guards of the palace were no match for him and surrounded him without daring to approach.
Xue Huang frowned. It turned out that the relationship between him and Mo Yunchen was not that simple.
Mo Yunchen's personal guard, who seemed to be called Duan Yun, took the lead in stopping Xu Yao, "He is trespassing into the palace. Capture him."
Xu Yao said coldly: "I came to see an old friend."
Xue Huang felt that the two of his "old friends" were talking with gnashing teeth. As expected, no one present believed it.
After all, if you kill someone's men first when you meet them, your relationship doesn't seem like that of old friends.
At this time, a bone-chilling voice sounded from behind Duan Yun, "The word 'old friend' is not very accurate."
Xu Yao's eyes fell on the red figure and he said coldly: "You and I are indeed not old friends, enemies are more accurate."
Mo Yunchen walked over slowly, and the guards immediately made way for him. "Friend or enemy, it's up to you."
"There's no way you and I can be friends."
"But I believe we will be good partners." Mo Yunchen said meaningfully.
Xue Huang couldn't help but roll her eyes. Just say it directly. Is there any need to beat around the bush?
Isn't it just that you destroyed my country and controlled me, and I can't live with you. Then I have the antidote in my hand, so you have to listen to me?
boring!
"That's right," Xu Yao said, "It's time for you and I to talk about cooperation again."
"Do you think that you have the leverage to negotiate with me just because you hold the lives of two princes?" Mo Yunchen said with sarcasm and arrogance, "You are not qualified as a chess piece."
After he finished speaking, Xu Yao's eyes turned cold and his wrist began to shake violently.
Xue Huang clearly saw that the blood vessels in his palms were covered with red lines, like long and thin worms.
He looked extremely painful, but he just clenched his fists tightly and looked at Mo Yunchen angrily.
Mo Yunchen was like a king standing high above, admiring his masterpiece to his heart's content, "This is the bond of eternal cooperation between you and me."
"I will definitely cut it off with my own hands." Xu Yao pointed his sword at Mo Yunchen.
"You'd better think it over carefully." Mo Yunchen exuded an air of chilliness.
"My choice has always been clear." Xu Yao flew forward, and the sword blade chopped down from the air, facing Mo Yunchen's face.
Mo Yunchen just turned his body to the side and used his strange body skills to avoid Xu Yao's sword.
Good opportunity! Xue Huang took advantage of no one's attention and quietly ran to Mo Yunchen's study.
While the fight was going on, the guards in front of the study were standing still. However, it was not difficult for Xue Huang to avoid them.
She successfully slipped into the study and came directly to the secret door.
"What can you do?"
"Come closer."
Xue Huang followed his instructions and placed the gem close to the secret door. After a while, the voice said, "It is indeed so."
"what?"
"The mechanism of this door is controlled by temperature."
"temperature?"
"That's right. I thought that no one could easily design such a mechanism, but I didn't expect that Mo Yunchen just took advantage of his Ice Art."
Xue Huang raised her eyebrows and said, "So, when the temperature is low enough, the secret door can be opened?"
"Yes. Let me help you." The gem emitted a barely perceptible blue light.
"Okay, I'll try." Xue Huang immediately cast the Mysterious Ice Curse, and a layer of cold air instantly spread around her body. She placed her hand on the secret door, and a layer of frost instantly spread.
Not long after, a slight 'click' sound was heard from inside the wall, and the secret door slowly opened, revealing a staircase leading downwards.
Xue Huang curled her lips and walked in slowly. Mo Yunchen's biggest mistake was that he was confident that he would make her useless just because he sealed her inner strength. Her life-saving method was something that the entire Guigu Sect had never seen before, and it was also her biggest secret.
The secret door behind him slowly closed, and Xue Huang walked straight down.
"This mechanism is quite clever," the voice in the gem said with some surprise, "It can be opened from the inside by sensing the weight on the steps."
"Never mind," Xue Huang didn't care. "Let's find the antidote first." She quickly ran to the stone chamber and pushed open the heavy stone door. There was indeed a place for refining medicine inside.
Various utensils, medicinal herbs, and even poisons filled the grids of an entire wall.
The air was filled with the smell of medicine mixed with a strong smell of blood.
"What is he refining here? Why is there such a strong smell of blood?" Xue Huang frowned and covered her nose.
"It should be the blood gu."
"How do you know?" Xue Huang asked in surprise. But then she saw a square pool with pitch-black herbs soaking in it. What made her feel even more strange was that there was a depression on the edge of the pool, which seemed to be deliberately designed to fix something, because there was a pale human hand dripping blood into a pottery jar below.
Xue Huang stood by the pool and took a closer look. It turned out that there was a female corpse with a pale face soaking in the pool.
She was startled, took several steps back, frowned and asked: "What is this?"
"The legendary blood parasite is made from the purest blood of a young girl."
"Is it so perverted?" Xue Huang frowned. "Do you find it weird? Why do I feel like this corpse is laughing?"
"She's dead, but she should have been alive when she was bled, but she had lost consciousness, so there was no pain on her face. And these herbs can keep their blood fresh, which can nourish the blood Gu very well."
"Could it be that... all those young women from Shuanglin City who were sold to the royal palace were also used to do this?" Xue Huang asked in disbelief.
"Blood Gu is extremely difficult to refine, and must be nourished with a large amount of human blood."
There was a trace of grief and indignation in Xue Huang's eyes. Although the legendary Mo Yunchen had a strange personality and was cold-blooded and ruthless, she had never imagined that he was so cruel!
"How do we cure this blood poison?" Xue Huang asked, suppressing her anger.
"Blood Gu has two parts, the male Gu and the female Gu. Xu Yao must have been poisoned by the male Gu. If you want to detoxify, you must use the female Gu to draw out the male Gu. The Gu worm nourished in the blood is the female Gu."
Xue Huang looked at the pottery jar, and sure enough, there was a bug moving inside. She took out the medicine bottle from her waist, and despite her nausea, she carefully put the black, bloody, ugly poisonous insect, which was the size of the tip of her little finger, into the pottery jar with a herb stick she found nearby, and then sealed the lid and put it in her arms.
There was another identical medicine bottle next to it. Xue Huang opened it and smelled it. The pill inside had the same residual smell as the one Xu Yao gave her. It should be the antidote to temporarily suppress the sub-gu, so she took it away.
Then she deliberately found another insect that looked similar and threw it back in, but she thought it would be of no use.
"Then what's the antidote for my poison?"
"You don't have a Gu, you have a poison, but I can't tell what kind of poison it is."
Xue Huang glanced at the various prepared poisons and black insects on the shelf next to her, and her lips curled up. She had an idea. "I have a way, and I need your help again. Can you do it?"
"Okay. But your injuries might get worse afterwards."
"It's a small matter." Xue Huang immediately left the stone chamber and was about to step onto the stairs when she suddenly thought of the stone slab she had seen before.
She always felt that there seemed to be something hidden there, and couldn't help but look over there.
The voice in the gem sounded again, "What's in there is definitely something you don't want to see."
Xue Huang was surprised and asked: "Do you know what it is?"
The voice in the gem was silent for a moment, as if hesitant, "I roughly guessed it. If you really want to know, open it and take a look. Then you will know what kind of person Mo Yunchen is."
Xue Huang walked over. There was a mechanism next to the stone slab, which opened when she pressed it.
At that moment, Xue Huang seemed to smell a strange smell, as if many things were mixed together and covered by something. This strange smell made her sneeze.
She covered her nose and looked carefully into the depths of the cave. Because the light was too dim, she could only vaguely see what seemed to be broken human bones piled up at the bottom of the pit.
"Is this... the place where Mo Yunchen dumped the bodies after taking their blood?" Xue Huang was shocked. All that came to her mind were the abandoned images of those girls. They were all the same age as her, but they all became food for the poisonous insects. How cruel, how heartless?
"Whether in Shuanglin City or Shangyang City, he has never stopped refining blood Gu, but after you take away the mother Gu, he will be able to stop this inhumane behavior."
"So what if he stops? Can it wipe out the sins he has committed?" Xue Huang said coldly.
"Get out of here first."
Xue Huang closed the stone slab and ran out of the secret room.
