A medicine man...
Gu Xinglang was so shocked by these words that he almost couldn't stand. He was mentally prepared for this and had told himself that no matter how bad the result was, he would accept it without fear. But when the time came to accept it, Gu Xinglang found that he couldn't do it without fear. Perhaps it was too difficult, or perhaps he had simply overestimated himself.
"Are you scared?" Taoist Tianjie couldn't see Gu Xinglang's panic, but he could feel it. He gently put down the empty bottle in his hand and said to Gu Xinglang, "I just want to ask you, if you become a medicine man, you are no longer Gu Xinglang, right?"
Gu Xinglang thought about this question for a long time.
Taoist Tianjie raised his hand and pointed at Gu Xinglang, saying, "Now that you have become a medicine man, you are also Gu Xinglang, aren't you?"
Gu Xinglang murmured to himself: "Can a medicine man still be considered a human being?"
"Whether you can be considered a human being depends on yourself," Taoist Tianjie said, "I believe that to Princess Linglong, your two brothers, and those friends, you may be a Pojun or a Yaoren, but no matter what, you are Gu Xinglang."
Gu Xinglang stood still for a long while before he said in a hoarse voice, "Po Jun?"
Taoist Tianjie fumbled behind him and took out another pot of wine. He pulled out the cork and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. Then he said to Gu Xinglang, "Whether you bring disaster to the world or save the world, it does not lie in your fate, but in what you think in your heart."
Gu Xinglang thought about what Taoist Tianjie said, and suddenly asked, "You waited for me here on purpose?"
Taoist Tianjie nodded and said yes, then he stretched out his hand to Gu Xinglang and said, "Let me feel your face."
"No need," said Gu Xinglang.
Taoist Tianjie did not force it and retracted his outstretched hand.
Gu Xinglang turned around and wanted to leave, but stopped after thinking about it. He put a purse next to Taoist Tianjie, and then turned around and walked towards the Prince Consort's Mansion.
After Gu Xinglang disappeared, Taoist Tianjie raised his head and drank a few more sips of wine before he said, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied now?"
The door of the shop was opened from the inside, and Jing Mo, who was supposed to be in the Fengtian Imperial Palace, walked out.
Taoist Tianjie said, "Prince Consort Gu was not crazy or screaming, and he even knew to leave me some silver. It seems that he is not an inexperienced person. Your Majesty does not need to use a blind man like me to tell him the truth."
Jing Mo whispered, "I don't know how to start. The princess and the others must be the same. I'll have to trouble you this time."
Taoist Tianjie said: "Your Majesty is so anxious to tell the truth to the Prince Consort, and even bypassed Princess Linglong and Gu Yanruo. If something happens to the Prince Consort because of this, Your Majesty, I am afraid that they will become enemies with you."
Jing Mo did not respond to Taoist Tianjie's words. He glanced at the empty wine bottle in front of the Taoist and said, "I will order someone to escort you back to Zhuri. I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Taoist Tianjie stood up unsteadily and said with a smile, "I am not destined to enjoy wealth and honor. Your Majesty, take care."
The two guards behind Jing Mo saw that Taoist Tianjie was about to leave and took a step forward, but Jing Mo raised his hand to stop them.
Taoist Tianjie stumbled toward the street, humming a Taoist song. Jing Mo could barely make out one line of the words: All people in the world are suffering.
Watching Taoist Tianjie walk away, Jing Mo kicked the empty wine bottles to the bottom of the stairs and found that Taoist Tianjie left all the wine bottles behind and took away the purse given by Gu Xinglang.
"Your Majesty?" The guard standing on Jing Mo's left asked Jing Mo softly.
Jing Mo said: "What did you just hear?"
The two guards knelt down in front of Jing Mo in a hurry and said in unison: "Your servants didn't hear anything just now."
Jing Mo walked slowly towards the Prince Consort's Mansion, his figure was still upright, but his steps were slightly staggering. Jing Mo knew what he was doing, and he also knew that if Gu Xinglang got into an accident, Yu Xiaoxiao, Gu Xingnuo, and many other people would not forgive him, but Jing Mo knew that he had to do this, and he had to bet that Gu Xinglang could bear the truth, and Gu Xinglang must be able to bear it.
Master Fenglin could no longer return to the Eternal Life Temple, and the people they sent to the Eternal Life Temple could not stay in the temple. Now the only person who still had hope of entering the Eternal Life Temple and even staying with Mo Wen was Gu Xinglang. Jing Mo slowly adjusted his pace and took a deep breath of the somewhat cool air after the rainstorm. Jing Mo told himself that since he had taken the risk to do this, he had to trust Gu Xinglang.
In the Prince Consort's Mansion, Yu Xiaoxiao was guarding Wuhuan's bed. Gu Xinglang was standing in front of the door. He wanted to stay for a while and then leave. But Yu Xiaoxiao heard the noise, walked out, stood in front of Gu Xinglang, and said, "Xiao Gu, you're back."
Gu Xinglang twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled at Yu Xiaoxiao, nodded, and said, "I'm back."
"Did something happen?" Yu Xiaoxiao thought there was something wrong with Gu Xinglang's smile.
Gu Xinglang's face immediately returned to his usual serious expression, and he said, "I couldn't sleep, so I came to see you."
Yu Xiao: "Really? Brother Wuhuan is asleep, do you want to go in and see him?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head and said, "No, are you hungry?"
"Princess, are you hungry again?" Jing Mo said as he walked in from the courtyard gate and shook the wooden box in his hand.
Yu Xiaoxiao instinctively believed that there was food in the wooden box, and her eyes lit up again.
Jing Mo walked up to the two people and said with a smile: "I heard from the servants that the Imperial Master is alright?"
Yu Xiaoxiao stared at the wooden box and was in no mood to talk.
Jing Mo just looked at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Wuhuan is fine now. He is sleeping in his room now."
Jing Mo said, "Brother Wuhuan?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said at this time: "Yes, Wuhuan recognized Xiao Gu as his younger brother."
Jing Mo reached out and patted Gu Xinglang on the shoulder, saying, "Come on, I brought some snacks from Zhuri, come and try them."
Yu Xiaoxiao was of course happy to have some snacks. Gu Xinglang looked at his wife, nodded to Jing Mo, and said, "Thank you."
The three of them sat in a side room in the courtyard. Yu Xiaoxiao was eating snacks, Jing Mo was drinking tea, and Gu Xinglang was also holding a cup of tea. From time to time, he helped Yu Xiaoxiao wipe the snack crumbs from the corners of her mouth. He looked normal.
Yu Xiaoxiao ate her snacks and asked Jing Mo, "Didn't you go to the palace? You came back so soon. Is my father already asleep?"
Jing Mo said: "When I went there, His Majesty was still discussing matters in the Imperial Study."
Yu Xiaoxiao..., when did her tyrant father become so diligent in his work?
Jing Mo said: "Princess, His Majesty is having a hard time right now."
Yu Xiaoxiao blinked and asked Jing Mo, "My father is working very hard, what can I do? I am not idle either."
Jing Mo was choked by Yu Xiaoxiao.
Gu Xinglang poured a cup for Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Drink some water, Princess has worked hard."
Yu Xiaoxiao drank the glass of water in one gulp and said to Jing Mo, "That's right. Xiao Gu and I have had a hard time. No matter whether that bald guy is dead or not, how can Xiao Gu and I have a good life?"
