red and white

Temple of Heaven.

Mu Gesheng looked at the figure not far away, and heaved a long sigh.

Back then, he had a lot of worries when he planned the fate of the country. If Song Wentong was the person he was most reassured about, then Chai Shuxin was the one he was most reassured about.

If Song Wentong can risk his life to help him fight the Yin soldiers, he will also come out as soon as possible after his death.Like a sharp blade that never rusts, it is sober and thorough, never wasted.

Chai Shuxin, on the other hand, is just the opposite. He has a heavy heart and seems to have nothing to do, but he is actually full of obsessions.

Before Muge died, he thought that if Chai Shuxin was willing to help him, he would have to go all the way to the dark. Now that his business has collapsed halfway, this person must be mad, and he might throw his ashes into the river vent anger.

However, according to the tradition of Tian Suan's lineage, after Tian Suanzi's death, he must wait a hundred days before he can be cremated. Even if he wanted to praise himself, he would have to wait a hundred days.They are all adults, and the one-hundred-day cooling-off period is long enough. If this person still can't let go after one hundred days, then let him go.

But he really didn't expect this person to be so twisted, and he stood on the Temple of Heaven for a whole month, guarding his corpse without moving an inch.Mu Gesheng felt embarrassed looking at him in the illusion, wishing he could directly tell his second son that you should burn me soon, if he kept on like this, it would not mean that he hated me, but that his son would be a filial piety for Lao Tzu.

However, there was no drop of water for a whole month, and 24 filial piety did not take him so moved.How many years have passed since the Qing Dynasty died, and the Ai family does not need to be buried with them, so hurry up and kneel down.

Song Wentong walked up to the Temple of Heaven, holding a casket in his arms.

Chai Shuxin turned his back to him, motionless, with one hand resting on the coffin, inside was Mu Gesheng dressed in white.

After Tian Suanzi's death, unless cremated, his body will not rot, and his face will remain the same as before.

Song Wentong got straight to the point: "I'm not here to persuade you, no one will stop you if you want to stay here as a widow, but the third child and I are leaving soon, to go to Kunlun to ride the Sparrow Terrace."

Chai Shuxin didn't say a word, and Song Wentong continued on his own: "Before the fourth brother started divination, he came to me once and gave me some things. I saw that they should all be left for you. "

He put the box on the ground, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence, "We are leaving this evening, you decide whether you want to come or not."

Mu Gesheng leaned over, his previous memory was incomplete, and he was also curious about what he left for Sanjiu Tian.

Song Wentong thought carefully, fearing that Chai Shuxin would not do anything, he directly opened the box and put it on the ground, even if he didn't want to look at it, he had to look at it.

Inside was a thick handbook.

The handbook was wrapped in kraft paper, with a few words scrawled like ghostly symbols. It took Mu Gesheng to read for a long time before he recognized that it was his own handwriting back then, and there was a title - "Xi's Internal Medicine".

He probably knew what it was.

He still has an impression of his experience when he was studying abroad. At that time, because of his correspondence with Chai Shuxin, he often paid attention to Western medicine. Later, he accidentally received a medical book. It is said to be a very famous classic. Unfortunately, there is no Chinese medicine. translation.Although Chai Shuxin was proficient in English, he was not familiar with the profound academic vocabulary, and it was useless to send it back to China. During that time, he just had nothing to do, so he translated most of it.

Later, when he returned to China, he stuffed a large stack of manuscripts into the suitcase and traveled across the ocean. However, after returning to China, he was entangled in many things, and he never had time to finish the translation of the last part.

Not long after Song Wentong left, Chai Shuxin slowly bent down and picked up the handbook.

There was a wind blowing in the Temple of Heaven, and the pages of the book were flipping. Some handwriting was neat and some were messy. There were still various stains on the paper. The brown ones were coffee, the red ones were wine, and the colorless water Zuo, probably halfway through his translation, fell asleep lying on the table.

The handbook is very heavy, bound into a heavy volume, and the last few pages are all blank paper, with only the beginning written with a pen——

Not finished, waiting for your writing to continue.

Among them was an envelope, which contained a letter of recommendation and a boat ticket to the United States.

It's something I can do.Mu Gesheng thought to himself.

Before he died, he must have thought about how to arrange Chai Shuxin. If the other party helped him fight the Yin soldiers, he would definitely offend the Yao family. With this person's temperament, the road ahead may be very difficult.The country is too chaotic, the hands of doctors should not be stained with more blood, and now half the world is at war, Europe is in a mess, the best place to go is the United States.

The letter of recommendation was written by a classmate he met when he was studying abroad. The other party later taught at Duke University. There is one of the best medical departments in the United States and even the world. It would be a very suitable place for Chai Shuxin.

I'm doing pretty well.Mu Gesheng nodded, quite honestly, in the next three or nine days, my ashes should not be thrown away.

Chai Shuxin blinked very slowly, and then began to cough, which startled Mu Gesheng. This was the first syllable the other party uttered in the whole month.

The cough was piercing, and he couldn't stop from the very beginning. Mu Gesheng hurried to help him, but what he touched was always a phantom. Finally, Chai Shuxin covered his mouth and squatted on the ground. He seemed to have his eyes closed. , did not open for a long time.

He curled up next to the coffin for a long time, the coffin was covered with white clothes, and he was like a solidified stone statue that melted from falling snow.

In the evening, Wu Zixu and Song Wentong stood in front of the gate of Penglai Mountain. There were ancient pine forests on both sides of the long steps, and a figure walked slowly in the distance.

Wu Zixu breathed a sigh of relief, "He's here."

It seemed that due to excessive consumption, Chai Shuxin's face was very pale, he bowed slightly to Song Wentong, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

"You don't need to be polite, it was originally left to you by the fourth child."

"It will take about ten days from Penglai to Kunlun, can you hold it?" Wu Zixu looked at Chai Shuxin's face worriedly, then looked at Song and asked Tong, "Why don't I call a ghost sedan chair, and then go back to Kunlun?" If it doesn’t work, use the ground formation.”

"The ghost sedan chair will alarm Fengdu, and all the shrinking formations are managed by Penglai." Song Wentong said: "Although our going to Zhu's house will be discovered sooner or later, we should try to keep a low profile until then, and it will be a while. "

"Don't worry about me." Chai Shuxin waved his hand, took out a string of bright red beads, and handed it to Wu Zixu.

"This is...?" Wu Zixu looked at the bead in his hand, rubbed it for a moment, then suddenly froze.

Chai Shuxin coughed, "This is Tai Sui's remains."

On the same day Wu Nian passed away in Baishui Temple, a fire fell from the sky, and his bones disappeared, leaving only a string of bright red drops of blood in the end.

Chai Shuxin was silent for a moment, then looked at Song Wentong, "I want to ask you to keep something for me."

Song Wentong stretched out his hand, "Bring it directly, there is so much nonsense."

However, when he took it, he frowned, "Are you sure you want to give it to me?"

It was the book that Mu Gesheng had left for Chai Shuxin. Song Wentong had seen it in the box.

Chai Shuxin nodded, "If there is no news from me after 49 days, just burn it."

"Aren't you going with us?"

"I need to go to a place." Chai Shuxin said: "If I don't go, it will be too late."

Song Wentong didn't speak, he looked at Chai Shuxin's face, frowning into a ball.

Wu Zixu worried: "But your body..."

"Third brother, don't talk about it." Song Wentong suddenly interrupted him, and he raised the book in his hand towards Chai Shuxin, "Okay, then I'll wait, Kunlun will take the bird platform in 49 days, remember to come and pick it up .”

Then turn around and leave.

"How can this be done?" Wu Zixu had nothing to do with the two of them, he grabbed Chai Shuxin's wrist, and Chaosong Wentong shouted: "Second brother, you should try to persuade him! "Then suddenly froze.

"Stop fucking nonsense!" Song Wentong yelled, "Let's go!"

Muge was stunned for a while.

The first is the death of Tai Sui Wu Nian.

Mugesheng woke up decades after his death. The Yinyang family had set up a tablet for Tai Sui Wu Nian in the ancestral hall, but no one could tell how Tai Sui passed away. At that time, Wu Zixu was still alive, but he also avoided it. don't talk about it.

The only thing Mu Gesheng knew was that Tai Sui disappeared after the Yin soldiers rioted, and that the Yin-Yang family ancestral hall did not enshrine Wu Nian's blood, but only declared that there was no body left.

In fact, he has been lucky all these years, as long as there is no corpse, there is a possibility that the other party is alive.

Uncle Tai Sui, the beauty made a crime. Although Wu Nian exhausted his cultivation during the Yin soldier riot, he would never die just because of this.

But now in the illusion, the past came from a distance, and he saw Chai Shuxin handing the blood drop to Wu Zixu with his own eyes.

The eminent monk passed away and made relics, and the soul of Tai Sui went to coagulate the blood.

Wu Nian is really dead.

Judging from the past events in the illusion, it was Chai Shuxin who collected Wu Nian's remains, and the time should be after the Yin soldiers rioted and before visiting Penglai.

Although it is extremely dangerous to suppress the Yin soldiers, Mu Gesheng does not think that Wu Nian will die because of it. On the contrary, after the city is broken, Wu Nian is likely to be alive.

Mu Gesheng pinched his nose and tried his best to recall the scene at that time, when the city wall collapsed, he seemed to be protecting Chai Shuxin... After that, he woke up in Penglai.

It should be Chai Shuxin who brought him to Penglai. According to this idea, after the city was broken, Chai Shuxin and Wu Nian might have met each other, and Wu Nian was still alive at that time.

What did they encounter?How did Wu Nian die?

The Yin soldiers have already suppressed them, and the two of them should not be stupid enough to counterattack the enemy army in the city, so what else can kill Wu Nian?

Mu Gesheng simply sat down where he was, and carefully thought about all the previous details. Although the easier way is to wait for him to come out of the illusion and ask Chai Shuxin, but his intuition told him that he had to figure it out by himself.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Although this person has changed from a Lingshuzi to a Rakshazi over the years, if the other party decides to hide something, he will not say it if he is suffocated.

I don't know how the second and third children got along with Chai Shuxin when he was not around... Wait a minute, Mu Gesheng suddenly realized something.

The Yin army was violent|chaotic, and the disciples suffered heavy casualties. In order to save Song Wentong and Wu Zixu, he had to do divination and fortune-telling, and only then did he obtain medicine in Penglai.

What about himself?Who saved him?The second and third child were seriously injured so far, how did he survive?

When the city wall collapsed, he protected Chai Shuxin. At that time, he had already embraced the will to die. The high wall collapsed, and it was difficult to survive such a serious injury.

But he woke up safely in Penglai.

Mu Gesheng remembered what he said to him when he woke up and couldn’t draw——

As I said before, sometimes the price of frivolity is not just shallow blood and tears. You have to be prepared to fight for your life.

You are a fan of the authorities, you know very little.

At the beginning, he felt that the other party was hinting at something, and he thought about it for a long time.At that time, there was only Chai Shuxin beside him, and his face was very pale. He always thought that Chai Shuxin had done something to save him.

But Chai Shuxin himself denied it.

But later he gambled on the fate of the country, so he thought that the price of being unremarkable was his own life.Now it seems that it is much more than that.

I shouldn't have believed him in the first place.Muge thought.

He knew that there was a forbidden technique of exchanging lives for lives in the Yao family's inheritance, and he also thought that Chai Shuxin used this method to resurrect himself who had suffered the punishment of heaven, but now it seems that it is far from the case-this fucking guy is very Maybe he changed his life before he counted the fate of the country.

In other words, he has died more than once. He died after the city was broken, and Chai Shuxin changed his life back.

Yao family's life extension technique is a taboo, and after the city is broken, Chai Shuxin is also injured, so he will definitely not be able to support the entire ceremony - there is no doubt that Wu Nian helped him.

And this is probably the real cause of Tai Sui's death.

It's also why Chai Shuxin has Wu Nian's blood.

Mu Gesheng suddenly didn't dare to think any more.

He knew that Chai Shuxin had been hiding something from him, but he didn't know how deep the past was behind those silences.

However, his thoughts opened up, and various fragments poured out like a flood. Since Chai Shuxin helped him survive long before the fate of the country was counted, what about earlier?

Mu Gesheng thought of the dream he had many years ago.

In the dream, the paper money was like snow, and he heard the singing of sacrifices.

He always thought that it was Tian Suanzi's prophetic dream, implying the uprising of Yin soldiers in the near future, but the libretto of the man in white was different from that of the banging man in Chengxiguan.

Soul Comes Back——

Tai Sui Wu Nian spent 500 years of cultivation to divert the disaster of the Yin soldiers. That night he encountered the Yin soldiers on the ladder of Yin and Yang. He was supposed to die, but he woke up just seven days later.

When Wu Nian woke up, she rowed a boat to send him off, and she said at that time: You fought against the Yin soldiers a few days ago and narrowly closed the Yin-Yang ladder, but the gap between the two sides is too big, you overestimated your strength, and eventually died of serious injuries.

...The injury that the boy from the Yao family treated you personally has just improved, otherwise you may not be able to get out of bed for a year or so.

The memories are overwhelming, and the past is overturned like a flood.

Although the medicine family has inherited the art of extending life, not everyone can use it, and it is impossible to use it again and again. Chai Shuxin has extended his life so many times, and I am afraid that his own lifespan is running out. .

I'm really not a thing.Mu Gesheng thought to himself.

He didn't dare to think about what kind of mood Chai Shuxin had when he watched his fortune-telling. That night when he said goodbye to Chai Shuxin, the other party rarely lost control and shouted something, but he was still suppressed.

Chai Shuxin understood that even if he told him the truth, Mu Gesheng would still use his life to exchange the lives of Song Wentong and Wu Zixu. It would be useless to talk more, but it would only make his death uneasy.

Mu Gesheng is rarely in a trance, his brain is still running fast, but his mind has long since stagnated.

Damn, I owe him too much, even if I get all the 49 mountain ghost money, it's not enough to pay back.

No wonder Chai Shuxin wanted to hand over the books to Song Wentong for safekeeping, no wonder Wu Zixu's face changed when he grabbed Chai Shuxin's wrist, no wonder Song Wentong turned around and left.

He is explaining the funeral.

It is rare for Mu Gesheng to encounter something he can’t figure out—if these painstaking efforts happen today, he will not be surprised. After all, they have been together day and night for decades, and the relationship between the two is no longer simply a sentence of brothers or family members. It was more like a kind of fate between life and death, both parties were the only ones who could deliver to each other.

But going back decades, he and Chai Shuxin were just friends, half confidants at most, why did the other party pay so much?

wait.Mu Gesheng suddenly realized something was wrong, where is this person going next?

Chai Shuxin himself has a short lifespan, so how did he get dragged back from the gate of hell again?

The scene in the illusion changed rapidly. Chai Shuxin left Penglai, headed south, and finally returned to the ancient city.

The ancient city has long since fallen, what is this man doing when he comes back?Does the leaf fall back to its roots?

In the middle of the night, with no stars and no moon, the street was dark, Chai Shuxin stumbled all the way, and came to an intersection.

The surrounding scenery of Muge was too familiar, he looked at Chai Shuxin's back, and suddenly had a crazy guess.

He saw that the other party took out a bright red bead from his bosom, it was the blood droplet of Tai Sui Wu Nian, he gave Wu Zixu a whole string, but kept one for himself.

The blood drop was placed in the middle of the fork in the road. Chai Shuxin bit his finger, dripped a drop of blood on the bead, and drew an extremely complicated pattern around it.

In an instant, the wind blew up from the flat ground, and a bottomless gap opened in the space. The sinister wind howled, filled with an indescribable fishy smell.

This person actually opened the Yin-Yang Ladder again.

Mu Gesheng suddenly stepped forward, trying to grab the opponent, but his hand only touched a phantom.

He watched Chai Shuxin jump down helplessly.
