Xu Mingyan came early in the morning with a lunch box and knocked on the door gently. He waited for a long time but didn't hear any response from Zhao Chengmo.
When he pushed the door open, he found Zhao Chengmo lying on the bed sleeping, and he didn't even notice him coming in.
Gu Lingze heard the sound and raised himself from the inside.
"Brother Xu." He called in a very low voice.
Xu Mingyan immediately opened his eyes wide and walked over excitedly.
Gu Lingze curled his eyes and said to him, "I'm fine." Then he put his index finger between his lips and pointed at Zhao Chengmo.
Xu Mingyan nodded with a look of relief on his face, waved the food box in his hand to signal him, and then placed it on the table.
The two of them slept until noon, and when Zhao Chengmo opened his eyes he immediately looked around.
Gu Lingze was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, and there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of his nose.
Zhao Chengmo got out of bed with very small movements, put on his clothes, and saw the food box on the table.
He went out with his lunch box, ready to go to the kitchen to heat up his meal.
As soon as I closed the door, I saw Magistrate Wu, the Tongpan and others.
"Is the Imperial Master okay?" Magistrate Wu asked cautiously.
Everyone still remembers Zhao Chengmo's crazy look when he came back five days ago.
Zhao Chengmo nodded, and then Magistrate Wu and the others felt relieved.
After heating up the meal, Zhao Chengmo came to the bed and gently woke Gu Lingze up.
I took a look at the wound first. The wound that had been dripped with the spiritual milk had healed and formed a scab.
Zhao Chengmo helped him put on his clothes, took out the dishes from the lunch box and placed them on the table.
Gu Lingze looked at the porridge and vegetables on the table and sighed helplessly.
After dinner, Zhao Chengmo asked him for a few fire talismans to stick on the wall, and then applied medicine to him.
The wound on the palm was very deep. Even after dripping the spiritual milk, the area around the wound still looked bright red.
Zhao Chengmo lowered his eyes and looked at the knife wound, feeling so painful that he couldn't speak.
"If you do this again, I will ask Brother Xu to help me apply medicine in the future."
"No." Zhao Chengmo rejected it outright.
"Then you can't take it to heart anymore."
Under Gu Lingze's determined gaze, he nodded after a long time.
"Did you know something a long time ago?" Zhao Chengmo suddenly asked.
Gu Lingze was stunned for a moment, then deliberately avoided his gaze.
When Zhao Chengmo saw this, his heart sank.
"Lingze, what did you figure out? Will it be like this from now on..."
"No, no." Gu Lingze looked at his clenched fists, knowing that he was thinking wrongly, so he denied it immediately.
He pursed his lips and said, "Before you left, I had a fortune-teller."
Zhao Chengmo has the star of a general in his body, and his destiny is ruled by the element of Tan Lang.
But last month, Gu Lingze calculated his horoscope and found that the star Tan Lang in his horoscope had begun to fluctuate in brightness.
Tan Lang is the master of both disaster and blessing, just like Emperor Ziwei, he has disasters in his life.
If Tan Lang enters the fate, one will not be afraid of evil but will be happy with emptiness and disaster.
The divination made by Gu Lingze showed that Zhao Chengmo was about to face a great disaster.
That's why he insisted on going to Linji Prefecture with Zhao Chengmo to provide disaster relief, just in case.
If Gu Lingze had not shown up, the poison that Cheng Jiao had planted in his body would have killed him long ago.
Gu Lingze had caused Zhao Chengmo's death last time, so he was so ferocious this time.
Under normal circumstances, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with an earthbound spirit.
After listening to his explanation, Zhao Chengmo slowly said, "So you transferred it to yourself?"
Gu Lingze suddenly felt guilty when he heard him ask this. He laughed dryly and said, "After all, I am more confident..."
Under the other person's gaze, his voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely.
Zhao Chengmo was silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh.
"You're right. If it were me, I would also go through fire and water for you."
Hearing this, Gu Lingze immediately grinned, no longer avoiding his gaze, and looked up at him straight.
Zhao Chengmo held his face with his big hands and wanted to give him some more instructions.
But Gu Lingze was extremely stubborn about this matter. Even if he said it thousands of times, when the time came, his little husband would still take the path he thought was right, so he did not say anything.
In the next few days, Gu Lingze lived a life like a rich landlord with food and clothes provided for him.
Even when Zhao Chengmo went to the toilet, he wanted to carry him, but he gave up after he was bitten several times by him.
Only after the scab on the wound fell off did Zhao Chengmo allow him to get out of bed and move around.
The first thing he remembered was that the bandits had not been dealt with yet, so he asked Zhao Chengmo to lead the Black Cloth Army to a hilltop to look for them.
They rode horses when they reached the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Chengmo insisted on carrying him up the mountain.
The two of them were in a stalemate, and finally Gu Lingze lay on his back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and was not let down until they reached their destination.
"There was an avalanche here before. The bandits' bodies are probably buried deep down. You may have to work harder."
The black-clothed soldiers immediately took orders, took off their tools and started digging.
Zhao Chengmo looked at the surrounding mountains. There was less snow on the top of the mountain, but the snow was very deep on the mountainside. There were indeed signs of an avalanche.
Gu Lingze looked at this place and couldn't help but recall everything in the nightmare, and frowned.
Zhao Chengmo saw that his face looked strange and asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
He shook his head, forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I just haven't been out for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable."
Zhao Chengmo immediately heard the clue from his words, but since Gu Lingze didn't want to say it, he didn't force it.
The two groups took turns digging twice and dug for nearly two hours before they dug out all the bodies of the bandits.
Even the Black Robe Army, who had experienced many battles, felt their stomachs churning when they saw the scene before them.
Only a few bodies were relatively intact. Not far away, there were human bones and some broken limbs, some of which even had human teeth marks on them.
It's obvious what happened here.
Gu Lingze suppressed the strong discomfort in his stomach, with a pale face, and threw three Flame Talismans over.
After the corpse was completely burned, Gu Lingze closed his eyes and chanted the spell.
Even if the souls of these bandits enter the underworld, they will be punished for a hundred years for the sins of killing they committed in their lifetime, and then they will fall into the animal realm.
After the matter was settled, Zhao Chengmo ordered the Black Cloth Army to return to the city first, and he and Gu Lingze walked slowly along the mountain road.
Gu Lingze knew that he had seen through the clues, so he took a deep breath of cold air and said, "The black shadow that day was the leader of this gang of bandits."
Then he slowly told him what happened on the day of their death. As soon as he finished telling what happened in the cave, Zhao Chengmo hugged him in his arms.
"Stop talking."
Although his description was very simple, Zhao Chengmo had already figured out the whole story.
He remembered what Gu Lingze had said to Xu Mingyan before.
'The conditions for forming an earthbound spirit are very harsh. First of all, these people must have died in a disaster or accident before their life span ended.'
