Another long, dead night.

The bright and icy moonlight shines through the window sills, illuminating Chu Jiuge's face. At this time, he looks paler, without a trace of blood, as if he will die at any time, and he is by his side, just watching silently. He held his cold hand tightly in his hand, trying to warm him with his own body temperature, but unfortunately to no avail.

If the witchcraft had invaded his body and taken away his consciousness, where would he be now... I believe that even if he went to Santuchuan, as long as he heard his call, he would definitely come back , but now, how can he save him...

"Deputy General Hua and Doctor Mo went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda overnight. If all goes well, they will be able to bring back related books tomorrow. General Yu and General Shen have already turned Lin'an City upside down in order to find the old woman, but there is still no result." After reading the letter from the spies, Xi Li became even more convinced that the old woman was most likely in disguise, and that the real body might be a young woman, or even a man.

Now he has temporarily put aside the imperial examination for Chu Jiuge, which may be the purpose of the Devil's Cult, and he has indeed been recruited as they expected, so what should we do next?

Chu Jiuge's situation is obviously not optimistic. The longer the delay, the more likely he will do something unimaginable. Xun Sui is already impatient, but there is still nothing he can do about it.

"It hurts..." Chu Jiuge, who was sleeping, could still feel the pain. The intense headache and dizziness made him unbearable, and the wound of the impact was divergent and could not be stitched.

"Jiu Ge, wake up quickly..." Xi Sui lifted Chu Jiuge's body and let him lean on his shoulder, trying to warm the coldness of his body. Chu Jiuge, who was sleeping, seemed to feel the pain, and he didn't know it was the pain. , was still moved, leaving two lines of clear tears, shining abnormally under the moonlight.

Xun Sui knew that this was a good omen, it happened that Gong Ziyin came to visit, he did not bring Xiao Changfeng who is easy to cry, but brought a very sensible Chu Luoyin, the two walked into Weiyang Palace cautiously, when Zi Sui met, he called them sit down.

"Has the situation improved?"

"Sometimes it hurts, maybe it's getting better." The bruises in Xi Sui's eyes were so deep that they could be clearly seen by the moonlight, so Gong Ziyin persuaded him to go to sleep. Xi Sui planned to stay by Chu Jiuge's side, but couldn't help it Physically exhausted, he got up and drove to the Hall of Chaohe.

Gong Ziyin knew that Chu Jiuge must have this catastrophe in his fate. When he was in the Palace of Wei many years ago, he predicted this hexagram for himself, "Life and death are unpredictable, good or bad is unknown, but my fate is big, I will definitely not I have something to do." At that time, Chu Jiuge could still say these words with a smile, but now the pain is so urgent, maybe he has the heart to cry.

Chu Luoyin knelt beside the couch, stroking Chu Jiuge's icy cheeks with warm little hands, Gongziyin reminded him in a low voice: "Be careful, don't disturb him." Jiuge, it might not be a good thing.

Chu Jiuge just fell asleep like this, unable to feel the worries of the people around him, just like Qingyan, the pain made him have no time to take care of more things, and just wanted to break free from this shackles.It was also the first time he felt his body was a drag.

Even though Mo Huaichun and Hua Yilian rushed to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as quickly as possible, negotiated with the abbot there, and were allowed to enter the Buddhist scriptures pavilion to read the classics, but at this time the time seemed to be tight, and it was difficult for even the gods to get out of it. Find the information they really need in this vast sea of ​​books.

"Buddhism is a quiet place, do you feel that you will brazenly put the books recording crooked ways in a conspicuous position in this scripture pavilion?" Mo Huaichun asked, obviously the answer was no, looking at Hua Yilian with a complicated expression, Mo Huaichun asked again: "If it were you, where would you hide the book?"

"Since it is a crooked way, it can never be put on the table, and the pagoda is known as a demon suppressor, so it is probably hidden in the basement."

The history of this Big Wild Goose Pagoda is hundreds of years at least, and the amount of books in the hundreds of years can be imagined, and there are hundreds of years of dust accumulation. Looking at the thick layer of dust on the ground, Hua Yilian doesn't want to touch it.

"But no one said that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has a basement. In order to preserve the ancient books here, the abbot here has not sent someone to clean it for a long time. Even if there is a basement, the door lock has rusted and cannot be opened. "

Mo Huaichun did not dislike those things, rolled up his sleeves and rolled up the dusty carpet, and was choked up by the dust so much that tears almost came out, Hua Yilian couldn't see it, so he gave his hand, unexpectedly, it was really Found the secret door.

"Many eminent monks can exorcise evil spirits and ghosts for people. In this case, they should not hide such books in places that are very difficult to find. This secret door is so obvious, perhaps it means that similar things happened in the previous dynasty. They had to leave a way for posterity."

Hua Yilian didn't like to listen to this doctor's nagging, so she opened the secret door, intending to cover his mouth with dust, but she didn't think there would be something hidden under the secret door.

Hua Yilian first poked his head in, not afraid that some mechanism would cut his neck, after watching for a long time, he waved to Mo Huaichun, raised his head and said, "It's the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven."

The latter naturally thought he was joking, and didn't care, so he walked down the stairs first, until he reached the end, only to find that, as Hua Yilian said, this secret room should be dark, but there is a bright light pouring from the roof, and they The secret door that came in was just a side door. The size of the secret room was actually not small, and it contained many objects other than books.

Hua Yilian thought, this situation, this scene is just like...like the corner a few feet below Kunlun where Chu Jiuge was imprisoned for more than ten years...Although Hua Yilian has never seen what it looks like , but according to Chu Jiuge's description, it is probably the scene in front of me.

Mo Huaichun was eager to save people, and after a few steps forward, he found useful information on the bookshelf, while Hua Yilian walked around. The center of the secret room, which is directly below the bright light, is A clear spring is constantly gushing out, and in the middle of the spring is a raised flat stone slab that is not submerged in water at all.Presumably there must be a design for spring water to flow in and out here, otherwise the pool would have been flooded and the secret room would have been destroyed.

Hua Yilian walked in and looked at the spring water, it was so clear that one could clearly see coins deposited at the bottom of the pool.He kept an eye out and didn't touch the water on purpose. Through the ripples and ripples, he could clearly see that the coins under the water were of different colors and denominations, and they didn't all look like things from the same era. Looking at the pool, it looks like a wishing pool.

Could it be that there was really someone who once stayed here, accepted people's offerings, and fulfilled people's wishes, but was not allowed to leave here?

Hua Yilian saw that the spring water was not deep in the pool, and the stone slab in the center was not far from the shore. If someone was imprisoned on the slate, it would be easy to leave, so how could it be a prison?

Just thinking about it, Hua Yilian looked in the direction of the stone slab, on which there were books and tortoise shells and other sundries, maybe someone used tortoise shells to predict good and bad luck and pass the time with books.Thinking of it this way, Hua Yilian wanted to find out even more, so she jumped up, and with a little light work, she easily stood firmly on the edge of the stone slab.

"Don't touch the things here, maybe there is some kind of mechanism." Mo Huaichun heard the movement behind him, and kindly reminded him. When he looked back, he saw Hua Yilian was flipping over something on the stone slab in the middle of the pool, so he moved over. Go over and let him down. "Don't really touch anything you shouldn't touch."

Hua Yilian flipped through the random piles of books on the slate, picked them up and shook them at Mo Huaichun, "This is what we're looking for." But these books are quite old, even Hua Yilian A heartless person also knows that he can't throw it at will. Mo Huaichun asked something again, and suddenly found that Hua Yilian was squatting in place, looking at something, but he didn't respond to his words at all.

"I said you come here quickly, we still have to hurry up to save people!"

"Don't make noise." Under Mo Huaichun's gaze, Hua Yilian turned over a white dress that had been stained dark by dust, and even Mo Huaichun could clearly see that what was covered by the white clothes was a shackle.

No wonder some people stay here and can’t leave. He didn’t want to be a god worshiped by everyone. He stayed here entirely because someone imprisoned him, just like Chu Jiuge...

Hua Yilian seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation, and jumped back to the pool, unwilling to look back at the stone slab.No wonder I felt very depressed when I walked up there. Who knew there was so much sadness there...

"This book is probably written about how to cure the poison of witchcraft."

Mo Huaichun flipped through it for a long time, and there were rich pictures and texts on it, which recorded the origin and development of Gu poison in great detail, and how to solve it with witchcraft. The symptoms seemed to be right with Chu Jiuge.Mo Huaichun nodded, and the two rushed back to the palace, impatient to implement it.

Chu Jiuge's appearance was not optimistic, his face was blue, his eyes were black, as if he hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, Mo Huaichun checked his pulse, but there was still nothing unusual, just like the book "There is no doctor" Again, the doctor couldn't do anything about his condition.

"Go and call the king. He needs to be present at this time. If something happens, he can tell his last words." Mo Huaichun was referring to Chu Jiuge.

Although he has no confidence that Chu Jiuge will be able to wake up, the purpose of calling Zun Sui is that firstly, he must supervise the whole process, and secondly, if Chu Jiuge cannot be saved, he also hopes that before he dies, he can have a loved one. The person is by his side.

Mo Huaichun has experienced too many partings, and he has probably become numb to life and death. However, when facing Chu Jiuge, he always has an urge to save him. Out of his medical ethics as a doctor, I am afraid that another point is that he does not want this. A person who has saved too many lives, but his own life is so short...
