Chapter 605 Sir, it’s time to drink medicine
Night comes.
Luo Jing, the residence of the Secretary General.
In the dim bedroom, the flame of the candle swayed gently, casting mottled light and shadow on the screen; the breeze carried the scent of incense and blew the big red curtain, making the birds and animals embroidered on it seem to come alive. come over.
Luochuan lay quietly on the couch, closing his eyes and thinking.
The words Gu Xu said when he came to his house recently lingered in his mind for a long time, and he couldn't get rid of them.
The land of Great Wilderness originally looked like a terminally ill patient whose whole body was rotten.
Under the emperor's powerful hand, the cancer on his body was suddenly removed, and powerful medicine was injected into him.
Although his body is still weak, he has been able to escape from the hospital bed and hobble forward on crutches.
Everything is gradually developing in a good direction.
The new ideas proposed by the emperor, such as the construction of formations to transform the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or the promotion and sharing of spiritual scriptures, made Luo Chuan's spirit even more exciting.
He eagerly hoped that his injury would heal quickly so that he could devote himself to the emperor's great cause as soon as possible.
Just like thousands of years ago, they started from the bandit camp in Longji Mountain in the Lingxiao Realm, and built a huge foundation step by step.
At this moment, Luochuan heard a slight sound of footsteps.
Shangguan Jin, who was wearing a green skirt and her black hair held up loosely, walked lightly to the bed with a bowl of medicine in her hand.
"Master Chief, it's time to drink medicine." She opened her red lips lightly, her voice as soft as the spring breeze blowing on her face.
She temporarily placed the medicine bowl on the table next to her, then stretched out her hand, firmly supported Luo Chuan's back, and helped him sit up on the bed.
Then, she picked up the medicine bowl and carefully handed it to Luo Chuan.
The medicinal soup in the bowl turned dark black, and steam rose in curls. Luochuan could clearly smell the bitter smell emanating from the medicinal soup.
Luochuan took the medicine bowl, took a deep breath, and slowly swallowed the medicine soup.
He seemed to vaguely feel that after the medicinal soup entered his abdomen, the scorching temperature gradually spread to every part of his body along his meridians.
Shangguan Jin sat on a chair nearby, observing the changes in Luo Chuan's face intently, as if she was concerned about his health.
"Xiao Jin, you have worked really hard these days. You spend so much time taking care of me, an old man." After drinking the medicine, Luo Chuan looked at Shangguan Jin's increasingly thin face and sighed softly. vocal channel.
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard,” Shangguan Jin said with a slight smile, “Sir, you are my teacher and you have taught me profoundly. Taking care of you is what I should do. "
"Master leads me in. Cultivation is personal. Over the years, to be honest, Xiaojin, I haven't taught you many useful things. On the contrary, you have helped me solve many difficult problems with your diligence. question.”
"Sir, don't say that. If it weren't for you, I would still be doing dirty work in that simple inn every day."
"..."
You two have a word , I said it.
The words are polite, the smile is polite and harmonious, and it looks like a master is kind and the disciple is filial.
At this moment, a gust of wind roared in from the window, instantly blowing the flame of the candle, making the room dim by three points, and bringing a biting chill.
Luo Chuan's smile suddenly solidified on his face.
Accompanied by a faint rustling sound, it was as if countless worms were quietly awakening in every corner of his body. Invisible forces gathered along his meridians, and finally weaved into a huge... The net tightly bound his soul.
"Xiaojin, what are you doing?" Luo Chuan's eyes suddenly flashed with unprepared panic, as if he never expected that his most trusted assistant and student would secretly plot against him.
"This is the 'Truth Word Gu', Sir Chief Secretary. Once you are infected by this Gu, you will no longer be able to lie or hide from me for a period of time."
Shangguan Jin put away the smile on her face, and her eyes instantly became as cold as ice - or in other words, the elegance and politeness that hung on her face just now was just a layer of exquisite disguise, and it was finally revealed at this moment. The true appearance behind him is without sadness or joy, as indifferent as frost.
"You...what happened? You...how did you do it?" Luo Chuan opened his eyes wide, with an exaggerated expression of disbelief on his face, "When I just drank the medicine, Obviously I didn't notice anything strange. "
"Because this 'Truth Gu' is not only in the bowl of medicinal soup just now, but I have divided it into countless parts and hidden them in your hands. In every bowl of medicinal soup I drank in the past few days, I stimulated their activity, causing them to reunite and take effect," Shangguan Jin said lightly. "As expected of the students I taught, this kind of thinking is already better than that of others." Luo Chuan shook his head gently, with a helpless and resigned smile on his face, "Now, if you have any questions, just ask. Whatever I know, I will answer truthfully."
At this moment, Shangguan Jin fell into silence.
She took a deep breath, her lips trembling slightly. The words that she had thought about countless times in her heart came to her throat again and again, but she swallowed them unconsciously.
Obviously she had already guessed the truth of the matter.
But when she really wanted to confirm it, she still lacked some courage.
“Speak quickly if you have anything to say,” Luo Chuan urged. “You took so much pains to create this ‘Truth Gu’, couldn’t you just make a silly joke with me?”
Shangguan Jin lowered his eyes and finally said: "Gu Xu...actually he is no longer alive, right?"
"His body is still there, but his soul is indeed gone." Luo Chuan said frankly replied.
"Then...then who is occupying his body now? Is it...the Emperor Ziwei?" Shangguan Jin's voice contained a tremor that was difficult to conceal.
“For the future of the Great Wilderness, he dedicated his body to the Emperor, as a carrier for the Emperor to come to the world,” Luo Chuan replied, “He sacrificed himself, saved all living beings in the Great Wilderness, and paved the way for them. On the road to the light.
“His death was extremely glorious. "
Shangguan Jin's face was as pale as paper.
Another gust of cold wind hit her, making her whole body cold and exhausted. If it weren't for the support of a chair, she might have fallen to the ground weakly.
"Any questions?" After a brief silence, Luo Chuan said calmly.
Shangguan Jin lowered his head and did not answer.
"What do you want to do by asking these questions? Do you want to avenge that young man?" Luo Chuan suddenly sat up straight and his tone became sharp.
Shangguan Jin bit her bloodless lips tightly and remained silent.
Recently, she has been working hard and planning secretly. Taking advantage of the fact that Luochuan was seriously injured and Ziwei, the old man, went to "Guixu" and could not take care of the capital for the time being, she mixed "Truth Word Gu" into Luochuan. of medicine, just to confirm the truth.
But what can she do after knowing the truth?
Gu Xu was unable to come back to life.
It is impossible for her to kill Zi Wei to avenge him, nor to deal with Luo Chuan - after all, Luo Chuan, as her mentor, once brought her out of that dirty and simple inn, Her cultivation, her knowledge, her status...it can be said that all of these were given to her by Luochuan.
And she had to admit that under Zi Wei's leadership, the wilderness world was indeed slowly getting better.
It seems that Gu Xu’s sacrifice really saved all living beings in the wilderness.
Shangguan Jin's eyes were slightly red, tears welling up in his eyes.
She sat stiffly in the chair, looking extremely helpless.
Obviously she was still scheming and secretly fighting with Luo Chuan just now.
But now her mind is blank, like a little girl who is disoriented and at a loss.
The hard shell of coldness and alienation in recent days also shattered at this moment, exposing the most fragile side of her heart.
She cried silently, not knowing what she should do or where her future was.
At this moment, the dormitory suddenly overflowed with light.
A chain made of starlight appeared quietly and bound Shangguan Jin to the chair, making her unable to move.
Shangguan Jin was shocked to find that his true energy was also imprisoned by an invisible force and could not flow.
Luochuan, who was originally seriously injured and weak in bed, miraculously stood on the ground at this moment, looking calmly at Shangguan Jin on the chair, his eyes particularly cold.
"I have been observing you for a long time."
