Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Like a married couple
Ruan Mingyu has been spending a lot of money recently. On the one hand, he has to make pills, and on the other hand, he is also responsible for the maintenance and planting of spiritual fields, etc.
To make money, he not only treated patients but also took on odd jobs like caring for cats and dogs. Over time, all the brothers and sisters in the sect knew that Yuantai Peak had a cheap and useful alchemy cultivator.
He can cure anything for money, so there is a constant stream of people coming to see him.
There was another long queue outside Yuantai Peak today. In order to make it easier to see a doctor, Ruan Mingyu almost converted the house he lived in into a hotel.
However, when there are a lot of people, you will encounter all kinds of people, like today.
"Doctor, what should we do if the mouse is sick?" A junior sister put the big white mouse she raised on the table. The mouse was as big as a cat.
Ruan Mingyu's scalp was numb. He repeated to himself many times, "I need to make money" before he forced himself to resist the urge to run away and wrote down the prescription.
"If the rat is sick, feed it some rat poison." Ruan Mingyu wrote out the medicine and hurried her to leave. Then he said skillfully, "Next."
The next person was a junior fellow student. He sat on a stool and stared at Ruan Mingyu's face for a long time, looking like a young boy in love.
Ruan Mingyu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Junior brother, please tell me your symptoms."
I only heard him say: "I have fallen in love with my senior brother, what should I do? He and I are both men, this is absolutely unacceptable."
"Take some Chinese medicine to recuperate."
"It's no use drinking it."
"Increase the dosage."
"What if it still doesn't work?"
Ruan Mingyu wrote down the prescription calmly: "Drink it first."
The other party finally told the purpose of his visit and said, "I think you look like my senior brother. Can you talk to me? Maybe my illness will be cured."
Because Song Chenxi had done many incredible things in the secret realm, many people kept him in their sight. Some of these people loved him, while others hated him.
Ruan Mingyu and Song Chenxi look a bit similar, so people often find him, either to transfer their hatred for Song Chenxi to him, or to want him to be a substitute.
Ruan Mingyu was no longer surprised.
He said expressionlessly: "Don't drink Chinese medicine, drink pesticide instead."
"Next!"
…
After a whole day of seeing patients, Ruan Mingyu finally had some free time. He ran down the mountain. The seedlings he had planted last time had grown a lot in the past two days. Ruan Mingyu looked at the seedlings as if they were his own children.
Yueya saw him coming alone every day and asked him, "Where's your spouse?"
Ruan Mingyu was fiddling with his precious medicinal herbs. Upon hearing this, he looked up suddenly: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my senior brother."
"Your senior brother?" Yueya touched her chin. "I think you two are like a married couple."
What kind of outrageous talk was this? Ruan Mingyu's face was filled with shock, his eyes widening. He stopped what he was doing and immediately corrected her: "That's absolutely impossible. If you spread rumors again, I will dock your salary!"
Yueya curled her lips and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more." Then she muttered, "That's how it is, and I won't let anyone say it."
After working hard for an entire afternoon, Ruan Mingyu had to hurry back to the sect before it got dark.
On the way back, I was so hungry that I couldn't help but go to the night market to buy some food.
He held a string of candied haws in his left hand and a butter cake in his right hand, feeling very happy. If only Song Chenxi was here, he wouldn't have to pay for it himself.
As they were walking on the road, a man wearing a veil suddenly snatched the candied haws from his hand, lowered his head and took a bite.
"Why are you still snatching other people's food!" Ruan Mingyu wanted to argue with him, but he met a pair of extremely charming eyes. This feeling seemed familiar.
"Don't you remember me?" the other person smiled sweetly.
Ruan Mingyu was puzzled: "Who are you?"
"I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be alive. Now we can still meet. It seems that we are destined to be together."
He deliberately dragged out the last word and shouted:
"Ruan Ruan——"
Memories of the past flooded into his mind, and Ruan Mingyu remembered Gong Lingdeng from the Hehuan Sect!
Gong Lingdeng noticed his expression change drastically and came over to ask, "My beauty, do you remember me?"
Ruan Mingyu pretended to be calm: "Who are you? If you don't know me, don't come near me."
That's what he said, but he raised his foot, turned around and ran away without even taking the candied haws.
However, the opponent was very powerful, and in a few seconds, Ruan Mingyu was caught up by him.
"Ruan Ruan, why did you leave as soon as you saw me? I would be sad."
Nonsense, if you don’t leave, are you waiting to be caught by him?
Fortunately, Ruan Mingyu's skills have improved over the years. Without thinking, he took out the magic weapon given to him by Song Chenxi and escaped in front of him.
Gong Lingdeng looked in the direction he left and said meaningfully, "Do you think you can get away like this?"
——————
After returning, Ruan Mingyu did not dare to go down the mountain for several days, for fear of meeting Gong Lingdeng again.
After he returned, he started to refine the elixir and made two batches.
One furnace is for Song Chenxi.
The book says that "false thoughts" are a kind of poison, but Song Chenxi's statement is different from the book.
Ruan Mingyu speculated that it might be more of a trigger. Everyone has obsessions in their hearts. If they have no desires or demands, are they still human? They have become gods. Then anyone would definitely be controlled by them. No wonder Song Chenxi said there is no cure.
Despite this, he still made some elixirs that could calm his mind and spirit, which could also provide some relief. Besides, he had finally picked some medicinal herbs from the mountain last time, and it would be unreasonable not to use them to make elixirs.
The other furnace was refined for himself.
Ruan Mingyu had previously absorbed an entire furnace of his master's elixir energy and was terrified that he would one day explode and die. Although his master had helped him cultivate his sealing skills, it was only a temporary solution.
It's really tragic, how come he and Song Chenxi have ended up in the same situation, unable to survive without taking medicine! Ruan Mingyu thought sadly.
It took Ruan Mingyu nearly a month to make these two batches of pills.
After using all kinds of expensive medicinal materials, only two or three bottles of medicine can be made.
He carefully put away the refined pills, and regardless of whether they were useful or not, he planned to go to Siguo Cliff immediately to give them to Song Chenxi.
He did what he said and flew his sword straight to the back mountain. He originally thought it wouldn't be far, but it still took him some time to arrive.
There were towering cliffs and the sounds of monkeys howling and birds crying in the forest. It was too high. Ruan Mingyu didn't dare look down, for fear that he would fall down in excitement, even though he could now fly in the air.
But this place is so big, where is Song Chenxi?
He searched for a long time but couldn't find a cave entrance. He had no choice but to take out his sound transmission talisman and ask Song Chenxi, "Brother, where are you? I came to see you."
After a while, a cry came from the mountain stream:
"Little sparrow!"
His words "little sparrow" suddenly echoed in the mountains, and Ruan Mingyu almost choked. He searched for the source of the sound and finally found it.
The entrance to the cave is halfway up the cliff and is very hidden. If it weren't for Song Chenxi's howl, Ruan Mingyu really wouldn't have been able to find it.
He flew over on his sword and stopped outside the cave entrance. Ruan Mingyu's original intention was to put down the pill and leave without staying for too long.
Song Chenxi waved to him and asked him to come over.
Ruan Mingyu had no choice but to take two steps closer.
Song Chenxi was sitting in the cave, meditating. He was clean and tidy, and did not look at all disheveled. It seemed that he was not here to reflect on his mistakes, but to just stroll around.
"Mingyu came to see me," he smiled at Ruan Mingyu, his eyes narrowed, "I'm very happy."
It is said that there is no one guarding the Cliff of Repentance. You can get out if you want, but if you are identified by the magic circle of the Cliff of Repentance, it will not be a simple matter of a few months or half a year. You may have to be locked up for decades before you can get out. Therefore, no one dares to escape from prison.
Now it seems to be true.
Ruan Mingyu stopped listening to him. He put the medicine on the ground and said to Song Chenxi, "One pill a day for ten days. Brother, please remember this."
"You're not coming over?" He frowned slightly.
Ruan Mingyu made an excuse: "Senior brother, my stove is still burning. I'm really too busy. I'll come to see you next time." As he said that, he slipped away.
However, before he took two steps, a pair of hands wrapped around his waist.
Ruan Mingyu was shocked: "Aren't you afraid of being recognized by the barrier when you come out? Brother, it will take more than half a year, at least a year before you can come out. You are not going to the Immortal Sect Competition!"
Song Chenxi: "So what if I don't go? This magic circle is just ordinary. I broke it on the first day I came in. It can't be blamed on me. The reason I stayed in the cave was purely to give the elder face."
Hearing him say this, Ruan Mingyu laughed awkwardly: "Senior Brother, you're holding me a little too tight."
Song Chenxi still didn't let go. He seemed very tired between his brows. He closed his eyes and leaned on Ruan Mingyu's shoulder, which made him feel a little relieved.
Ruan Mingyu didn't dare let him get up, because he saw a faint blood-red in his pupils again. He had been demonized more times during this period than before.
The two leaned against each other quietly, forgetting everything for a while.
They were so close that even the frequency of his eyelashes fluttering could be seen clearly. Ruan Mingyu stared at him nervously, and Song Chenxi looked into his clear pupils without a trace of desire and easily fell for them.
After a long time, Song Chenxi looked away, lay on his shoulder, lowered his head and sniffed, and suddenly frowned.
"Why do you smell like powder? Who did you meet behind my back?"
Ruan Mingyu didn't know when he had picked up the smell. He had a very sensitive nose. He explained, "I treat patients every day. I see so many people in a day..."
In the middle of his words, Song Chenxi's fingers wandered between his collarbones. Ruan Mingyu asked nervously, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Really?" Song Chenxi lowered his head to straighten Ruan Mingyu's collar, and his slender fingers would always faintly stroke his neck.
Ruan Mingyu was really afraid that he would go crazy again like last time, so he suddenly grabbed his neck again.
Feeling his men stiffen, Song Chenxi loosened his grip. He had come here because there was no one around, and the quiet and secluded place was perfect for cultivation. He was trying to find a way to cage the monster in his heart so that it would never come out again.
Ruan Mingyu's appearance still made him feel uneasy.
He said to him, "You don't need to come to see me again during this period."
Ruan Mingyu nodded and silently widened the distance between him and Song Chenxi.
"Then I'm leaving. Remember to take your medicine."
Song Chenxi watched him leave before turning around and stepping into the cave.
After leaving, Ruan Mingyu actually felt a sense of relief. He always felt that there was something behind what Song Chenxi said, and the way he looked at him was not right. He was afraid that he had made him misunderstand something.
————————
Back in the room, Ruan Mingyu lay on the bed, thinking about what Song Chenxi had said to him before.
Why did he ask me not to come to him again during this period? Did he not want to see me again?
Ruan Mingyu was upset and tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep. If it were at this time, he would have been fast asleep.
Suddenly, he heard a slight noise and quickly closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
After a while, a figure quietly jumped into his room.
The man slowly approached him, and the moment he got close, Ruan Mingyu drew out his sword and placed it across his neck.
"Who? What do you want?"
"Don't be so fierce." The man didn't seem to be afraid of his sword at all, and even touched his face lightly.
Although there was no light in the room, Ruan Mingyu was sure that this person must be Gong Lingdeng!
Ruan Mingyu immediately slapped his hand away and started shouting for help.
Gong Lingdeng quickly covered his mouth and tied him up with a rope.
"Ruan Ruan, what are you trying to do? We've been reunited after a long time, and you treat me like this?"
Ruan Mingyu made a humming sound.
Gong Lingdeng said, "Ruan Ruan looks so pitiful. I can't bear to tie you up anymore."
He slowly loosened his grip: "Okay, you can shout now. You can make our affair public."
"Senior brothers and sisters, come and save me!" Ruan Mingyu shouted as soon as he was able to make a sound.
But there was no response, not even the wind outside the window.
After shouting for a long time, no one came. Ruan Mingyu gave up because it was useless.
"Ruan Ruan has suddenly become so well behaved. I'm not used to it yet," he said.
Ruan Mingyu was a little overwhelmed: "Brother, what exactly are you going to do? It's been so many years, just let me go!"
"You know all these years," he seemed to be brooding over what happened back then. His sharp nails scratched Ruan Mingyu's face, and his charming face seemed a little distorted. "Then let me ask you, do you regret not choosing me?"
Ruan Mingyu did not answer.
Regret, what's there to regret?
He didn't answer because he was afraid of irritating the person.
Gong Lingdeng persisted: "Answer me."
Ruan Mingyu turned his head: "I don't like making choices."
His cheek suddenly felt a pain; it turned out that the other person's nails had dug into his skin.
"I understand. You don't regret it at all." Realizing his own gaffe, Gong Lingdeng withdrew his hand without leaving a trace. "Has your senior brother taken good care of you over the years?"
Is he a pet?
Ruan Mingyu: "He didn't support me these years..."
He was really tired. Why were all these people he met so crazy?
Compared to that, Song Chenxi was pretty good. At least I was familiar with his temper.
Gong Lingdeng felt a deep sense of frustration.
He still didn't give up and continued to ask Ruan Mingyu: "Then under what circumstances will you choose me?"
Ruan Mingyu immediately replied, "Relationships can't be forced. You and I have only met a few times..."
"You mean you spent more time with your senior brother, so you chose him?" He pressed on.
Gong Lingdeng suddenly seemed to have figured something out: "In the days to come, you have to get along well with me."
Ruan Mingyu said hurriedly: "No, I have to be busy making money. Once my furnace is turned on, I can't stop it. It's all money coming and going."
Gong Lingdeng: "Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
When it comes to money, Ruan Mingyu is no longer sleepy.
Ruan Mingyu's eyes widened, and there had never been such strong love in his eyes.
"Not much, just eight hundred spirit stones a month." Yes, he was asking for an exorbitant price. But that didn't matter; he could wait for the other party to bargain. He wouldn't lose out no matter how much he calculated.
Gong Lingdeng: "I'll give you a thousand, and you'll be responsible for accompanying me."
Ruan Mingyu: "This..."
Gong Lingdeng's hand was about to touch his face again, and Ruan Mingyu quickly agreed.
"I promise you."
Gong Lingdeng said, "Then let's start with the name. Just call me husband."
Ruan Mingyu: “…”
Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat.
"Just call me husband." When his fellow students found out, he would say that he was calling him "Old Gong." Then he wouldn't sound so disgusting when he called him that.
Gong Lingdeng thought about it and nodded.
From that day on, Gong Lingdeng haunted Ruan Mingyu like a ghost.
Ruan Mingyu originally wanted to go and file a complaint, telling others that a person from the Hehuan Sect had infiltrated the sect, but he was discovered by him on the way and forced to swear that if he told anyone else, he would become a disciple of his Hehuan Sect.
Ruan Mingyu cursed with tears in his eyes. There was one bad thing about the world of cultivating immortals: you couldn't swear casually. If you swore and didn't keep your oath, you would suffer retribution in the future.
At this time, Ruan Mingyu really hoped that Song Chenxi was here, at least he could help him deal with this guy.
Fortunately, he kept his word. At the end of the month, when Ruan Mingyu received the 1,000 spirit stones he gave her, she thought to herself, "husband is nothing. She can even accept calling him grandpa."
Gong Lingdeng would come up the mountain from time to time to guard Ruan Mingyu. Ruan Mingyu couldn't figure out what he wanted to do?
Sometimes he would send a few beautiful flowers, and sometimes he would recite some incomprehensible poems.
I only wish that your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down.
Every time he recited poetry, Ruan Mingyu covered his ears and said to him, "I have never been to school and I don't understand." From then on, he never recited poetry again.
Gong Lingdeng was like a flamboyant peacock, displaying his feathers with all his might every day. He wore a different color each time he came. However, his flirtatious glances were completely blinding, and Ruan Mingyu showed no reaction.
Gong Lingdeng is considered a veteran in the love field and has never suffered such a big setback!
Only at the end of the month would Ruan Mingyu become very different. He would show a shy expression on his face, and then shamelessly ask: "Husband, you haven't given me this month's money yet."
Gong Lingdeng really wanted to hit someone at this time.
The relationship lasted for several months.
Gong Lingdeng felt that something was still missing and didn't want to play these boring games with him anymore.
Finally, on a dark and windy night, Ruan Mingyu was abducted.
When Ruan Mingyu opened his eyes again, he was already inside the Hehuan Sect.
"I'm not forcing you," Gong Lingdeng said. "I'm just changing the location."
"My Hehuan Sect is definitely better than your Qixing Sect."
Ruan Mingyu was extremely frightened and subconsciously felt his pocket to take out the sound transmission talisman to call for help, but he found that all his clothes had been changed.
Gong Lingdeng took out the yellow talisman in his hand and said to him, "Are you looking for this?"
He burned all the yellow talismans in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, no senior brother came to save you this time."
“…”
"What do you see in me?" Ruan Mingyu was a little overwhelmed.
"I'm not attracted to you, I just like you." He smiled charmingly.
During these days, Gong Lingdeng was extremely gentle to him.
Ruan Mingyu thought that if he were gay, he would definitely fall in love with him. Unfortunately, he didn't have such thoughts at all.
He reasoned with him: "There are many beautiful women out there. You said you liked me, but in fact, you just wanted to have a little fun. If I really said I liked you, you would not be happy."
"I'm happy to."
“…”
This guy can't communicate at all!
"I don't like to force people," Gong Lingdeng said with a smile. "Just stay here. Sooner or later, you'll change your mind."
Then he left and came back after a while with a brush in his hand.
He grabbed Ruan Mingyu's hand and rolled up his sleeves.
"what you up to?"
Ruan Mingyu wanted to take his hand back, but he was held down forcefully.
He picked up the brush, dipped it in a drop of vermilion ink, and then touched the brush to his wrist.
A red dot suddenly appeared on the skin.
"What's this?"
"Shu Gong Sha."
