Chapter 489: He no longer has the rest of his life
"I remembered the legend of the Lotus Fairy in this lotus pond, and thought it was my good fortune to have encountered the Lotus Palace and the Lotus Fairy. I bravely swam over, hoping to ask the Lotus Fairy for a pill to cure my wife's illness."
"I was so nervous that I didn't notice I was in the restricted area. By the time I noticed it, it was too late."
"I..." Lu Wang's throat tightened and the fear in his eyes became more intense.
For others, this happened more than ten years ago.
But for him, it just happened yesterday.
"I..." Lu Wang was so nervous that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't say a word.
Xie Yingmian handed him a pill.
After swallowing the pill, Lu Wang slowly regained his composure.
"I saw a bridge rising from the water, and on that bridge appeared a very large platform, like an altar."
"On the altar, there were many people, both men and women, wearing lotus-pink clothes. Each of them was holding two babies. The babies were not crying or making a fuss, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive."
"Some people were playing music, others were singing, and the woman leading the group did something unknown. A round platform appeared on the altar, and on that platform was a small crystal coffin."
"I see..."
"I see..."
Lu Wang's eyes widened: "I saw a little baby with snow-white skin inside."
“It, it…”
"It has only one body, but two heads, and the two heads share the same body."
"Those people lined up to bring real babies to it, and it acted like it was alive, with its two heads taking bites out of the two babies."
“After it had bitten everything, it looked towards where I was hiding.”
"It found me."
When Lu Wang said this, his scalp went numb and his hair stood up because he was so scared.
"I saw its eyes. It had no eyes, just black holes. It stared at me with its black eye sockets without eyeballs, and it smiled at me."
"I was so scared I fainted."
"Twelve years had passed when I woke up." Lu Wang sighed deeply.
Twelve years.
My son has grown from a 100-day-old baby to a young teenager.
My parents are gone forever.
It's all his fault.
If he hadn't forgotten the time, if he hadn't entered the restricted area, if he hadn't been greedy.
His parents would not die from overwork.
His son would not have suffered for so many years.
Xie Yingmian brought the map and asked, "Do you remember the location of the altar?"
Lu Wang nodded.
He pointed to a spot and said, "I'm digging lotus roots here."
"After hearing the fairy music, swim from here to the restricted area."
"The altar is located somewhere around here."
Xie Yingmian marked the location.
"You've been infected with the Sun and Moon Soul-Bewitching Gu. I'll temporarily seal it. You'll be awake for two days. On the full moon night two days from now, the Gu will awaken again."
Lu Wang had already heard from Lu Hesheng.
He nodded: "I heard from Xiaohe that you can help me get rid of the poison."
"I have nothing to repay you with. I will spend the rest of my life working like a slave..."
Xie Yingmian interrupted him: "Xiao He probably hasn't told you the consequences of taking the Gu."
"The Gu has been in your body for over a decade. Your health has long been depleted. If the Gu is removed, your consciousness will recover, just like it is now. However, your body won't last much longer. You only have one year left to live."
Lu Wang's face turned pale, his lips moved, but he said nothing.
He no longer has the rest of his life.
Xie Yingmian: "There is another option, keep the insect."
"The two toxins in the Gu worm have reached a state of equilibrium, where one increases while the other decreases. If the Gu worm remains in your body, you will become unconscious and insane, but you can at least survive for another five years."
"Don't rush to make a decision. You still have two days to think about it."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye left the space to the father and son.
The shopkeeper kept staring at Louvan's room.
Seeing Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye come out, he served them tea and snacks in a servile manner.
The coarse tea leaves were replaced with the tea leaves brought by Yu Lingye.
The drinking water in Hehua Town is mountain spring water, which is very good for making tea.
The dim sum also includes local specialties such as lotus crisps and lotus cakes.
After the shopkeeper put down the tea and snacks, he looked back every few steps.
Xie Yingmian glanced at him and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
The shopkeeper chuckled and immediately turned back: "I just want to know, is Lu Wang really poisoned or cursed?"
Xie Yingmian: "It's poison."
"He accidentally entered a restricted area, saw something he shouldn't have seen, and was put under a spell to silence him."
The shopkeeper was puzzled: "Then why not just kill him?"
Xie Yingmian: "After Lu Wang was poisoned and became insane, how did you spread the news? After the news spread, has anyone else approached the restricted area in the past few years?"
Shopkeeper: ...
After Lu Wang became insane for no apparent reason, everyone became very secretive about the forbidden area and wanted to stay away from it as far as possible.
The shopkeeper walked away embarrassedly.
Yu Lingye picked up a cup of tea and asked, "Did he trick you so easily?"
Xie Yingmian raised the corner of his mouth: "Isn't this more interesting?"
"We're doing this so openly, so he can investigate if he wants. Why not just tell him directly and have him pass on the message as soon as possible?"
Yu Lingye: "That makes sense."
Xie Yingmian: "We have been here for a few days. Has Xia Xia discovered us?"
Yu Lingye shook his head: "She won't find out."
Xie Yingmian's expression turned cold: "This is really bad news."
There are countless spies from Feixue Tower in Lotus Town.
If there was nothing wrong with Feixue Tower, they wouldn't have hidden this matter from Wen Juexia.
Therefore, there is a high possibility that there is something wrong with Feixue Tower.
Wen Juexia obviously discovered the problem with Feixue Tower, which is why he was so worried.
"What about the Emperor?"
"He's always been keeping a close eye on us. We've been away from the capital for so many days, and there's been no movement from him. I'm not used to it."
Yu Lingye put down the teacup.
His expression was calm and his tone was deep. "Before leaving Shangjing, I informed the Emperor of the discovery of the Twin Lotus Sect's headquarters, and told him that the Twin Lotus Sect's headquarters might be related to the Stone of Eternal Life."
"The emperor has replied. Ji Yunzhang will soon lead the imperial guards to capture the remaining demon cult members."
Xie Yingmian silently gave Yu Lingye a thumbs up.
If Fan Jingzhou is a black-bellied Husky.
Yu Lingye is a black-bellied fox.
On the night of the full moon.
During the day, Lu Wang was in good spirits.
After the sun went down, the poisonous insect gradually woke up, and Lu Wang's consciousness became increasingly blurred.
"My lord." Lu Wang knelt before Xie Yingmian with his last bit of willpower. "I have made up my mind. Please help me exorcise the poison. I would rather die in a conscious state than live as a ghost."
"I cannot repay your kindness in this life, but in the next life, and the next, I will be your slave and serve you wholeheartedly."
After saying this.
The full moon was shining in the sky, and Lu Wang fell into the madness and agitation of the full moon night.
"Dad!" Lu Hesheng burst into tears.
"Here." Xie Yingmian handed Lu Hesheng a porcelain bottle. "There are three pills in it. Feed him one every two hours."
"No matter what happens outside tonight, stay indoors and don't move."
"Remember, never leave this room."
