incomprehensible

Although Lan Qi's body hadn't completely turned into Gu, the process of turning Gu into blood had indeed begun, but it was interrupted because of the intervention of Snake Mian, and part of the Gu blood merged into his own blood, so that the Gu fragrance came out through his body.

Looking at it now, all the secret medicines of the Feng Clan should have come from Fengya, and Snake Mian was improved from one of them, and it should also have the same origin as Deed Gu.The two interact with each other, and it is not yet clear what the result will be, but at least for now, it seems that the voodoo is temporarily terminated.

Feng Ya's physique was attributed to his father's taboo research. Blood Gu was originally born for the technique of longevity, and he refined his body into Gu body in order to live forever; his father failed, and Feng Ya, who was born with Gu body, finally It's just that the body is immortal, no matter from which point of view it is not "longevity".

No one in this world can live forever. According to what the Presbyterian Church ridiculed Yu Zuimian at the time, Fengya’s birth was the punishment of Heaven’s Dao for his arrogant and ignorant father’s attempt to break the law and peek into taboos, and this curse will be passed on from generation to generation in the blood. Among them, engraved the brand of sin on them.

Of course Yu Zuimian doesn't believe in these things, and Ye Xuehuan and Lan Qi don't believe in ghosts and gods either, but they have to be in awe of the greatness and wonder of nature's creations.

None of Fengya's own children inherited his abilities, but they did leave a hidden inheritance in their blood.Judging from the wall text, Feng Ya's abnormal blood should have both "medicine" and "gu" abilities; but after generations of dilution, only the "gu" ability is left in the very small number of abnormal blood that appeared in later generations. kind.

Yu Tian once said that among the people with different blood that came out of the Feng family for thousands of years, some lost their sex and went mad, some turned into puppets, and some lived to die in peace. The endings are different; The different blood has lost its medicinal properties, and it can resist poison itself, but it cannot detoxify and heal injuries for others, so it has not much use value.

Perhaps it was also because of this that they became pure heretics in the Feng Clan, instead of being repeatedly squeezed out of life like Feng Ya.

This can probably be regarded as the only kindness left to them by the so-called "Day of Heaven".

——So, the only blood with medicinal properties in this world only exists in Lan Qi.

Fengya's blood is effective for all living beings, but Yu Zuimian used his heart as a cocoon and his own blood as a cocoon when refining the deed Gu, but the Gu body used the blood of the Nanling tribe when men and women get married. Some kind of love Gu used makes the contract Gu have the characteristic of loyalty, and its blood is only effective for the contract owner; but at the same time, it also has a certain amount of lust, and the bond can only be formed when lust arises due to emotion.

He originally wanted to use himself as the host, and exchange his life for Feng Ya to wake up; but the deed Gu originated from Feng Ya, so he couldn't recognize Feng Ya as the master, and couldn't return to Feng Ya's body.It has the instinct of a Gu insect, and has a natural attachment to its own origin; it also seems to have some primitive and unstable self-awareness, and it has a weak and obvious relationship with Yu Zuimian, the refiner who should be the "master". resistance.

——It was as if a strand of Feng Ya's soul had been refined together in the Deed Gu.

Deed Gu's resistance became the last straw that crushed Yu Zuimian, and he even began to not be able to tell the difference between that ignorant body that can move freely without a heart, and this heart-refined body that has no human form but Deed Gu with vague mood swings, which one is the real Fengya?

Maybe it was both, maybe it was neither, or maybe...he had never really owned Fengya in the first place.

He was collapsed and dazed, at that time he was already very old, but Feng Ya was still young and beautiful when he was just bewitched back then, the huge gap was like the gap that never disappeared between them.

He finally realized that perhaps he and Fengya had never been in love, but it was just a grabbing possession and an attachment with nowhere else to go.

Qi Gu's resistance to him, is it not Feng Ya's silent blame to him?

He knew that he was wrong in the end, but what was the wrong step?

If Fengya is not taken out of the ancestral hall, he will be reduced to a sacrifice for the rest of his life, and in the end he cannot escape the fate of being transformed into a gu.

If Fengya is not placed under house arrest, he will always be coveted by others, exposed to danger all the time, worried every day, and will not be at peace.

If he didn't use the different blood, Yu Zuimian would lose in the competition, and even if Feng Ya didn't fall into the hands of the people, he would still be displaced with him.

Yu Zuimian felt that she did nothing wrong with every step of the arrangement after meeting Feng Ya, but he and Feng Ya missed it after all.So in his opinion, his mistake happened before meeting Feng Ya.

——He shouldn't be competing for this world.

If he could choose again, he would take Fengya to hide from the world from the very beginning, and wait until the situation of the country is settled, and then return to the world together to enjoy peace and joy.

This logic can be said to be far-fetched, it seems to be the only option after eliminating all the wrong answers, but in fact it puts the fault on the world - it is the world that made him lose Fengya.

"I would like to trade Jiangshan for Fengya..."

Lan Qi muttered the last sentence of the mural, and the secret room fell into a long silence.

As bystanders, both he and Ye Xuehuan knew that this was an unsolvable situation.

If Yu Zuimian had never participated in the world war, the xenophobic Nanling tribe would not welcome him in, he would not even have the chance to see Fengya.Even if it wasn't born in troubled times, Feng Ya's abilities were too eye-catching, the small Nanling tribe couldn't keep him after all, and when they were in danger, they would always offer him up for protection.

Of course Yu Zuimian was at fault, his love for Fengya was too domineering and distorted, and he held him in his palm all the time; but even if he let Fengya go free, this weak and beautiful bird would not be able to hunt people all over the place. fly high in the sky.

If one must investigate the root of the error, it can only be Feng Ya's existence itself.

——Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.

Perhaps for Feng Ya, committing herself to the strongest in troubled times, and being buried with Yu Zuimian in the collapsed imperial tomb after a thousand years is already the best ending.

Lan Qi couldn't help stretching out his hand to cover his heart, it's no wonder that Deed Gu would resonate so strongly with Long Feng's Gu body, so strong that he could even faintly detect some emotions that have spanned thousands of years - because that was his heart , a part that should have been throbbing in his chest.

That's why what Long Feng holds in his hand is a heartless flower, and Gu Puppet's final mission is to entrust the "flower" to the hands of "heart".

Yu Zuimian in the coffin is a gesture of repentance, sleeping beside Feng Ya's Gu body in a humble posture forever; part of begging for forgiveness.

Lan Qi has never felt the existence of Deed Gu since waking up from the suspended animation. If it really has the so-called "self-awareness", wouldn't it have already merged with him at this moment along with the process of melting blood?

To some extent, can he be regarded as the successor of Feng Ya's will?

At the moment when he came into contact with the Gu body in the Spirit Hall, he did feel deep reluctance and sadness from the Qi Gu. It might be the last bit of emotion that Fengya had before he transformed into a Gu, but there was no hatred in it. .

He had never really touched the world in his short life, and perhaps he never knew what love was, so he didn't know how to hate.

——From the beginning to the end, it was Yu Zuimian who was acting affectionate by himself.

"... Rongcai."

After a long while, Lan Qi suddenly said: "Xingzu said that he would exchange the country for Fengya, so will the jade flower he put in Fengya's hand at the end... be able to destroy the world?"

Saying this, even he himself felt that it was too illusory, unable to imagine how such a little jade flower would destroy the world, but he felt that it was logically logical.

Xingzu did have the idea of ​​burying the world, but the one who died was not himself, but Fengya—he wanted to sacrifice the country that had taken Fengya away.

The soldiers buried in the underground palace probably all used Fengya's blood, the seven generals and the four ministers must have participated in the discussion on whether to use different blood during the conquest, and the palace guards who served personally knew the secrets of Fengya's body, So they all have to be buried with them.

The names of Yuzuimian and Fengya have been erased from history, and the glorious achievements of one emperor through the ages have completely covered up the tragic love between the two; but looking back, the entire country seems to be full of traces of Fengya.

Taking Feng as the surname of the country, changing the Panjiang River to Fenghui River, and excavating the Wuzhi River in Danlu City all imply that Yu Zuimian gave the name of Fengya to the mountains and rivers he built; following this line of thought, The reason why he failed to destroy the world in the end was because he felt that this country was bought by Feng Ya for him, and that only Feng Ya could decide its survival, and he himself was not qualified to do so?

What's more, would he feel that only Fengya's ruin of the country meant he was forgiven?

He built such a stone room on the mountain behind the imperial mausoleum, imagining that he and Fengya in another world lived a life indifferent to the world, and then designed to let the deed Gu host who took the jade flower come here to witness, is it because he wanted to Let the host replace Feng Ya to destroy the world, and then forgive him?

This kind of thinking is extremely crazy, but Xingzu was originally a lunatic.

Ye Xuehuan took a deep breath, "If that's the case...do you think Second Emperor Brother can do it?"

Regardless of how the little jade flower is used, if it can really destroy the world, he can understand the intention of Empress Chu.

——It is not used to destroy the world, but to frighten the world.

She wants to grasp the lifeblood of the country, use the country and the people as hostages, and make Ye Xueshi the absolute master. Whoever tries to provoke the imperial power will die together with the country.

But the premise of deterrence is that the party being threatened must believe that the world is really possible to be destroyed within the palm of its hand.

——If Ye Xuequan can really control the power of destroying the world, can he do it?

In other words, would Chongyang's clan princes and court officials believe that he was capable of doing so?

"……I have no idea."

Lan Qi shook his head blankly, and grabbed his sleeve subconsciously, "But if it's him... I think it can be done."

Ye Xuehuan got the expected answer, and couldn't help sighing: "Among our brothers, perhaps he is the most suitable to be emperor."

This is the sore spot in the hearts of the two of them, and no one wants to mention it, so they all cast their eyes on the stone box in the corner.

Right above the stone box is the phrase "I would like to exchange Jiangshan for Fengya". What will be contained in it, the two of them have some guesses.

The lid of the box was heavy just by looking at it. Ye Xuehuan asked Lan Qi to hold the fire, and finally lifted the lid with both hands. It was indeed a gorgeous and bright dress for the queen, complete with phoenix crown and xiabei. Promised, personally put on the wedding dress for Fengya.

The huge stone box is more than enough for one person to lie in, but there is only such a set of clothes.The glamorous dress can only be accompanied by the cold stone slabs around it, waiting alone for thousands of years, but in the end, it has not been able to wait for the person who should wear it.

When they were in the underground palace before, their impression of Xingzu had fallen to the bottom. Although he was amazingly talented, he was brutal, unreasonable and unreasonable. He was an out-and-out tyrant. Still poor.

The two of them deliberately did not pay attention to the too glaring red wedding dress, and only focused on the stone box—if it was just for storing the wedding dress, the box would be too big.

Lan Qi was already extremely exhausted at this time, so he simply sat beside the stone box, carefully avoiding the wedding dress, and carefully touched the inside and outside of the stone box, but did not notice any obvious mechanisms, but the sound of knocking at the bottom of the box reverberated slightly, It is clear that there is an underground passage.

He went through all the possible types of mechanisms in his mind, and after several failed attempts, he suddenly got up, sat on the edge of the box, felt the whole box sink slightly, and knew it in his mind.

In order to verify the conjecture, he asked Ye Xuehuan to try to close the lid of the box.

The box cover is a very rare split type. The two half covers are respectively connected to the box body by stone pivots, and are spread out on both sides after opening.It stands to reason that this kind of box cover should be much easier to close than to open the cover; Ye Xuehuan opened the cover with one hand and one cover, but when closing the cover again, both hands could not lift a piece of the box cover. There was a clicking sound, and it was actually locked.

"Sure enough." Lan Qi breathed a sigh of relief, "This is a box ladder. After opening the lid, it needs to be triggered by weight. If there is no weight in the box, the lid will not close. Just stand...and lie down in the box, and you should be able to Sent us out."

Ye Xuehuan thought of the sinking coffin in the Spirit Hall for no reason, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Of course he knew the box ladder, but it should be called a machine tool rather than a mechanism. The huge box is pulled and lifted by ropes, and it is mostly used for digging mountain roads and transporting materials and labor up and down when building tall buildings, hence the name box ladder.And this stone box is obviously not controlled by ropes, but a set of sophisticated and unspeakable mechanism, which directly sends them out lying down from the secret passage in the mountain.

The only meaning of such a lot of trouble is that the people in the box will not be able to see the direction of the secret passage, and they will not be able to return the same way. After going out, they will never be able to return. Together in the past, they are buried in unknown wilderness, and will never be visited again.

The way out was in sight, but the two did not have much joy as they had imagined.One is that the secret from thousands of years ago is too shocking, and the other is that it is undeniable to have some subtle feelings for this small valley.

Their previous lives have always been in the torrent and undercurrents, and they have never been so indifferent. They don't need to calculate and think every day, and it's another day if they eat and sleep enough.Although it is not enough to be nostalgic for this kind of leisure, it will be boring after a long time, but it is enough to become a memorable memory, which will be endless when you think about it in the future.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lan Qi can't go out of the valley at the moment, and he has to sleep for seven or eight hours a day, which is not suitable for trekking at all.This box-ladder secret passage is obviously a one-time mechanism, and there is no risk to take any risks. It must wait for Lan Qi to recover some physical strength.

It was dark in the secret room, and it was impossible to tell the time. After returning to the stone room below, I found that the sky was already slightly bright.

Although Lan Qi wanted to tidy up the current situation, he was so sleepy that he was light-headed and confused, and fell asleep after washing indiscriminately.

Although Ye Xuehuan was also sleepy, he didn't feel much sleepiness.Lan Qi in his arms was not sleeping soundly, his brows were furrowed, his hands were clutching his sleeves, and his body was curled up tighter and tighter.

He couldn't help guessing whether Lan Qi dreamed about the tragedy that happened thousands of years ago, or even whether he was Feng Ya himself in the dream.

Deed Gu is refined by Feng Ya's heart, and it can react with the Gu puppets in the Spirit Hall, which affects Lan Qi and makes him feel a little substituting; but after all, Deed Gu is not Feng Ya, nor does it have Feng Ya's memory, let alone Turn Lan Qi into the next Fengya.

Ye Xuehuan is not Yu Zuimian, and the same tragedy will not happen to them again, but these strange situations beyond common sense and common sense still make him feel confused and disturbed.

Deed Gu is of the same origin as Fengya, and they are against Yu Zuimian, so all Feng's bloodlines can neither be the master nor the host, they cannot use Deed Gu, and they cannot be used on people with other surnames, they can only be shelved .The early Feng Clan royal family may still have some other thoughts about deed Gu, but whether it is the insane Xingzu or the too special Empress Longfeng, they are enough to become a negative factor that shakes the Feng Clan's "Destiny". buried by history.

As a member of the royal family, Ye Xuehuan certainly understands the importance of the "purity" of the royal family's blood, so he also understands why history has exaggerated the achievements of Xingzu and downplayed Longfeng's sense of existence, describing him as a person who died young. woman.Most of the descendants of the Feng family in later generations may not know that there is such a supernatural ability hidden in their blood. If it is not for a person with different blood like Yu Tian, ​​they will not care about the secrets of their ancestors at all. It has become a "collection" handed down instead of a living thing, so it can be sealed for thousands of years, and no one cares about it.

And after sleeping for thousands of years, Qi Gu did not reject Lan Qi, and was willing to recognize Ye Xuehuan as the master, but at that time they were only half-grown children, and they didn't know anything about love and desire at all.

——Or maybe, just because they are all children, and they don't have any other interest relationship with each other, they are recognized by Deed Gu?

Thinking of this, Ye Xuehuan suddenly shuddered; the reason why Empress Chu chose to let the two of them form a bond was because she had tried it on other people and found that the bond Gu would only choose clean and innocent children, just like The Fengya who hadn't met Yu Zuimian back then?

During Lan Qi's 14 years of hard work to nourish Qi Gu, did Qi Gu have an impact on him, making him always have a steadfast and pure affection for the Qi master?

Ye Xuehuan's astonishment when he saw Lan Qi for the first time, was he also lured by the deed Gu?

Between them... Is it because of love that they form a bond, or because of bond Gu?

In the secret room above, Ye Xuehuan didn't mention this topic, but he knew that Lan Qi must have thought of it too.

No one can give them an answer.But no matter what the reason is, this love has taken root in each other's hearts, and they will always protect each other, depend on each other, and give each other everything they have.

Yu Wushuang had commented on Deed Gu at the beginning, "if love persists, the bond cannot be understood, and if the bond cannot be understood, life will never end", but Ye Xuehuan felt that he and Lan Qi should be the other way around now.

——If the life is not broken, the contract will not be understood, and if the contract is not understood, the love will continue.

Nothing in the world can separate them except death.

…………

When Lan Qi woke up, it was already the evening of the second day.

He didn't sleep too deeply this time, he was half-drowsy and half-awake, and he always felt that he was in some kind of gray dream, and he couldn't tell what he dreamed of.Dimly, he heard Ye Xuehuan answer when he said that he wanted to go out, but in the end he was awakened by hunger and the smell of food.

Looking at the sky and counting the time, he slept for almost another seven hours, and he couldn't help but sighed.

Just as Ye Xuehuan was about to carry him to eat, his heart tightened when he sighed, thinking that he was thinking wildly again, but his face remained calm, and he asked half-jokingly: "What are you sighing for?"

Lan Qi hooked his neck, let him hug him to the fire, and said, "I want to go back soon..."

Ye Xuehuan relaxed, shook his head and said with a smile: "With your small body, you are recovering well now, so there is no rush. You can take care of it for another half a month, at least after the first month, and the weather will be warmer, and you will be able to move quickly." convenient."

He had been anxious to find a way before, but now he was not in a hurry.One is that they missed the best time to return, Mo Ran and Yu Tian should have arrived at Danlu, the court should have been in chaos long ago, even if they can go back now, it will only add to the chaos; the other... He also didn't want to go back and face Ye Xuequan.

Lan Qi disliked that his recovery was too slow for dragging him down, but subconsciously he hoped that Lan Qi would recover more slowly, so that when everything was settled when he returned, he would not need to make another decision.

Ye Xuehuan smiled wryly, he had never had such a useless idea of ​​escaping from reality, probably because he had spent too long in this small valley, and he was a little sluggish.

Lan Qi knew where his depression was, so he didn't bring up the matter of going out of the valley anymore.

The two of them ate a hasty meal, and both of them felt that their spirits were waning; the secret door above their heads could not be closed, and there was a dark hole there, always reminding them of the heavy past recorded above.

Ye Xuehuan was so depressed that he simply carried Lan Qi out of the stone room and sat in the night wind to breathe and relax.

Tonight should be the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and both Danlu and Qianming City should still be snowing heavily, but the valley is always full of spring.

There are still a few days before the full moon, so the phase of the moon is not very beautiful, but it is already bright enough to reflect the dim light of the surrounding stars, and there is really no night to speak of.

So Lan Qi curled his lips without losing face and said, "It's not good-looking."

Ye Xuehuan laughed, pinched his chin, and made him face her, "The night is not pretty, so just look at me."

Lan Qi closed his eyes directly, leaned on his shoulder and said lazily: "I don't want to watch it. I will watch it for the rest of my life. What should I do if I get tired of watching it now?"

Ye Xuehuan was speechless, and after a long pause, he poked Lan Qi's cheek, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Is this how you talk to me now? Are you really confident and showing your true nature? It's really hard for you and me to pretend to be like this." Be good for a long time."

"You've always known my nature."

Lan Qi finally raised his eyes to look at him, his almond eyes were as dark as the night, but they were far brighter than the starry sky above his head, "I told you from the beginning that I am selfish and mean, and you always tell others that I have a big temper and a small mind. I know that I am not a good person, if I hadn't been desperate at that time, I really didn't have the courage to go to you so soon."

He hugged Ye Xuehuan's waist, and muffled on his chest: "My temper is already so bad, if I can't even pretend to be good, why would you like me?"

Ye Xuehuan felt a slight pain in his heart. In the first period of time, he was really intoxicated by the obedient and gentle Lan Qi only showed him, so he couldn't refute it, so he could only silently hug him a little tighter.

"I have to admit that at the beginning, I did have some pretentious gestures. I knew that you kissed me and hugged me from the bottom of my heart, but I still wanted to respond. I didn't want you to lose interest in me too soon, and I wanted you to love me a little more... "

Lan Qi confided his shameful little thoughts in a low voice, the tips of his ears turned red, "Then that night in Youling...I lost my composure, you must have seen it..."

"So you still admitted that you seduced me first."

Ye Xuehuan bit the tip of his ear, her tone was half regretful and half funny, "Little white-eyed wolf, you play hard to get, and dare to slander me for not being sincere. You don't know how much I wanted to love you back then, but you You keep a straight face all day long, as if I've been lying to you. But now, your temper has become so big that you dare to scold me for farting and slap me in the face."

Lan Qi didn't admit his mistake, and hummed: "You said it yourself, no matter what I look like, you like it."

Ye Xuehuan sighed, took his still inflexible left hand, pinched it in the palm and rubbed it carefully, "You know, I once had the same thought as Yu Zuimian."

"I always feel that I can't hold you firmly, and I'm afraid that if I don't love you enough, you will leave. That time at Yunshuiguan...you don't know how afraid I am that I won't find you again."

Lan Qi pursed his lips, buried his face in his neck, and listened quietly.

"I thought about locking you up, locking you up, abolishing your light concealment technique, so that no one can see you, you can't go anywhere, you can only stay by my side obediently, and you can't live without me... But How could I be willing to treat you like that."

He put his forehead against Lan Qi's, and his clear phoenix eyes were filled with deep love, "Everything I own, the scenery I have seen, the joys and sorrows I have experienced, I want to share everything with you." You share."

"I want to hold you higher, I want you to fly farther, I want you to feel all the wonderful things in this world, and I want to take you to do everything that makes you happy."

"When you have seen all the prosperity, you are still willing to return to me in the end, and regard me as your final destination... In my opinion, this is love."

"Now you finally no longer have any reservations about me. You believe that even if you don't pretend to be good, I will love you..." Ye Xuehuan smiled softly, "It means that I have finally given you a sense of security, doesn't it?"

Lan Qi bit her lower lip, but couldn't hold back the upturned corners of her lips and the shallow dimples, her almond eyes bent into soft crescents, and she rubbed softly in his arms, "How can you be so good?"

Ye Xuehuan grabbed his hand and covered her heart, "Because you are watching over me."

He didn't know that Lan Qi deliberately made a small temper because he saw him depressed and bored, and wanted to give him subtle but firm comfort.

Perhaps Lan Qi is the person who understands him best in the world, and will always find the best way to comfort him, to clear up the clouds for him when he is confused, and as he himself said, to keep a clear heart for him. Heart, so that he can be himself without any worries.

——How could he not love Lan Qi like this.

"I said I would guard this place for you, so naturally I won't break my promise."

Lan Qi put up a finger, followed the rhythm of his heartbeat, and poked at his heart, "But what about you? You said that you would never let me go, that you would hold me tight and never let go. What happened?"

"You also said that you would take me to hunt in the meadows, to watch the sunrise on the Gobi Mountains, to soak in the hot springs and watch the stars in the snow-capped mountains of Beiling... You have promised me so many promises, but none of them have been fulfilled."

Ye Xuehuan was once again speechless, as expected of the well-known child prodigy in Jiangdong back then, with a terribly good memory, and he couldn't let go of any debts owed to him.

However, after thinking about it again, it seems that he himself made Lan Qi want to remember and believe every word he said.

——That's why Lan Qi deserved to overthrow the old account.

He took Lan Qi off his body, put it on the grass, and whispered in his ear: "Then I'll cash one right now, okay?"
