What's more, it's this time?
"Cousin Li Chu, how do you know all this?" Yu Jiao asked.
Wei Lichu was still wearing a wide Taoist robe. Standing there at night, the wind fluttered the corners of his robe, giving him a feeling of being an immortal.
"It's a long story. My master is Zhang Daoling. I came here today just to follow his instructions." That day, Yu Qizhe brought people to Nian Qu Pagoda. After meeting his master, he was called in by his master to tell his last words. Part of that will was related to Cheng Ying.
After he sent his master's ashes back to Pingliang Prefecture, he went to Jiuli and found the Miao descendants who had an old relationship with his master. He took back the antidote that his master had given him from them and then rushed all the way to Jiaxing.
His master once said that if the world's general situation has been settled, the government is stable, and the orthodox way of heaven can continue, and Cheng Ying's life is hanging by a thread, he can use the method of detoxification retrieved by Jiuli to save his life.
When Yu Jiao heard the name Zhang Daoling, she was slightly stunned. Her senior brother said that there was a Taoist priest who saw through his soul from another world at a glance and could lead her soul to Taiyan as well. It seemed that the Taoist priest was Zhang Daoling.
He used her as bait but deceived his senior brother everywhere. This Taoist priest could not only see through the secrets of heaven but also plan everything in advance. Even her meeting with Yu Qizhe was caused by him. It was really scary.
The fate of her, her senior brother, and Yu Qizhe seemed to be completely following the route designed by Zhang Daoling. Why did Zhang Daoling send Wei Lichu to save her senior brother?
Thinking about her senior brother who was unconscious but she couldn't find out the reason, Yu Jiao felt a little depressed. She felt vaguely that Zhang Daoling might have been involved. Could it be that he had already done something to her senior brother?
Thinking of her senior brother's pale and sickly face on the way to Jiaxing, the fact that he took medicine without telling her, and the sudden bleeding in his eardrum when he had an argument with her that day, all these details seemed to confirm her guess.
"Where is Zhang Daoling?" Yu Jiao stared at Wei Lichu vigilantly.
Wei Lichu's expression showed a hint of sadness. "Master has passed away. Yu Qizhe was also there the day Master passed away."
Yu Jiao pursed her lips, was silent for a moment, and took Wei Lichu to Cheng Ying's room.
After entering the room, Yu Jiao looked at the unconscious Cheng Ying and said to Wei Lichu in a calm but cold voice, "Cousin Lichu, your master Zhang Daoling had schemed against Cheng Ying in every possible way. I don't care what Zhang Daoling's purpose was before he died when he asked you to save him. If he is still plotting against him this time, I will not be soft-hearted towards you."
"If he is fine, it's fine. But if something happens, don't blame my cousin for being cruel." She had never done anything for her senior brother, and she couldn't respond to his feelings, but this time she would never allow anyone to use her as bait to plot against him again.
Wei Lichu had never seen her so ruthless and sharp. He also knew that Master had used Cheng Ying, so he smiled bitterly and explained, "Master told me to save Cheng Ying when he was on the verge of death before he died, so that he could make up for Cheng Ying and leave him a glimmer of hope."
Wei Lichu uncovered the white cloth bandaged on Cheng Ying's heart, looked at the arrow wound that almost pierced his chest, and said, "But this ray of hope was also left for him by you."
Yu Jiao was puzzled.
Wei Lichu took out a black jar from the bag he was carrying. Yu Jiao frowned when she saw the red and black blood stains on the edge of the jar.
"There is a poisonous insect in Cheng Ying's body, and the other one should be in your body." Wei Lichu said.
Yu Jiao thought of the poisonous insect that her senior brother had pricked her fingertips and put into her body. Yu Jiao said, "There is indeed one." But she remembered that her senior brother had said when he put the poison on her that the function of the poisonous insect was to make her forget Yu Qizhe and fall in love with him. She thought it was the lover's poison that had always existed in the legends of Miaojiang.
Yu Jiao twirled her fingertips and said, "It got in from here, but when I woke up, it was as if the insect didn't exist in my body at all. It had no effect on me."
Wei Lichu said: "The Miao people who raised this pair of Gu worms told me that this is a mother and son Gu. The son Gu is fierce and overbearing. It can see through the unbearable human heart, control people's minds, and catalyze people's inner pain. The mother Gu is gentle and harmless, but it can restrain the son Gu, and even control the son Gu."
Why did Senior Brother allow such a poisonous thing to enter his body? Yu Jiao had a vague answer in her mind. It was probably because he used her as a scapegoat to trick Senior Brother into planting this poisonous insect in his body.
Senior brother... why are you so stupid? As long as it is related to her, he believes everything others say.
Wei Lichu couldn't bear to tell her that, in fact, this pair of mother and son Gu were raised with Cheng Ying's own blood.
Cheng Ying, who took out 49 pieces of his heart's blood to offer to the longevity lamp in Lianxi Temple, probably would never have imagined that those pieces of heart's blood were taken away to feed the mother and child Gu soon after he took them out, and then used on him.
"This sub-Gu is vicious and greedy. When it senses that the host is dying, it will frantically devour the host's flesh and blood, accumulate strength, and break out of the body." Seeing that Yu Jiao's face was getting uglier, Wei Lichu continued, "Looking at Cheng Ying's fatal arrow wound, the sub-Gu should have acted at that time, but fortunately the mother Gu in the cousin's body restrained the sub-Gu. It should be because the cousin wanted him to live, so the mother Gu controlled the sub-Gu, which in turn protected his heart meridian, which gave Cheng Ying a glimmer of life. But after the sub-Gu protected his heart meridian, it went into hibernation, which is why Cheng Ying has been in a coma until now."
No wonder… No wonder that after the senior brother was shot by an arrow last night, he was soon in critical condition, but later he survived until she pulled out the arrow.
What was this? Success or failure? Should I be thankful for the existence of the mother-child Gu? Should I be thankful that the mother Gu was planted in her body? Should I be thankful for the existence of this glimmer of hope? Yu Jiao felt mixed emotions, and was a little scared.
