The days that followed were calm and uneventful, and before I knew it, it was Dongyue.

The weather was getting colder, and on a snowy day, Zhou Yue hired a carriage and brought Bai Chenyu and Xu Qingluo to the bustling Daliang capital.

The three of them lived in the inn for a few days. The Tianzhai Yaxing entrusted by Zhou Yue helped Zhou Yue find a small courtyard with two entrances. The courtyard was located in the depths of an alley. Some of them are rich merchants, and there are two sixth-rank Beijing officials, very quiet.

Zhou Yue spent 15 taels of silver to rent this small courtyard with two entrances from a sixth-rank Beijing official who had returned from old age. By the way, he also hired two nuns in the courtyard. Although the courtyard is not big, it is very It is quiet, and there are two lush big pagoda trees in the middle of the yard.

Bai Chenyu was very satisfied with this yard, and Xu Qingluo liked it very much. She also said that when the Sophora japonica blooms next year, she must make Sophora japonica egg pancakes for Zhou Yue to try.

After settling down, Zhou Yue sold some medicinal materials while taking care of her body. Occasionally, she would help the nearby merchants to prescribe some decoctions and sell some common pills. Bai Chenyu was responsible for collecting medicinal materials, and Xu Qingluo was responsible for running errands to deliver medicines. Gradually gained some reputation.

After recuperating like this for a while, Zhou Yue felt better, and Bai Chenyu was relieved a little, but she still brought back some elixir frequently, such as thousand-year-old mountain ginseng and transformed poria cocos, forcing Zhou Yue to take it. Zhou Yue is also not allowed to make alchemy, so as not to wear down his body again.

This afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was as blue as washing. It was a rare good weather in winter. Bai Chenyu and Xu Qingluo were not at home. Zhou Yue sat in front of the study window in a daze after drinking a cup of decoction.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy in his heart, so he simply stood up, put on a brocade robe with a mink collar, and wanted to go out to inquire about news.

Not far from the alley, there is a bustling street, the sun is just right today, the street is bustling with people, bustling with people, Zhou Yue looked around, and his gloomy mood improved a lot.

There is a two-story tea house on the street, with three embroidered gold characters "Juxianlou" written on the tall blue sign.

Zhou Yue couldn't help complaining secretly. Sure enough, in the novel, [-]% of the inns are called Yuelai Inn, and [-]% of the teahouses are called Juxianlou.

He pondered for a moment, then walked into the teahouse, and just as he entered the door, Xiaoer warmly greeted him: "Guest officer, what would you like to drink?"

Zhou Yue said lightly: "Let's have a pot of Huzhou Fragrant Pieces."

Xiaoer said loudly: "Okay! Guest officer, please sit down first, I'll be here soon!"

Zhou Yue nodded, found a quiet place by the window and sat down. Looking at the bright sunshine and the bustling crowd outside the window, he remembered the situation when he brought Gu Xuecheng to the capital many years ago, and he was full of thoughts for a while. Thousands, I just feel like a lifetime away.

At that time, Gu Xuecheng was just a pure and handsome young man, Bai Chenyu was only 14 years old, and was still a pitiful young lady... Zhou Yue shook his head, stopped thinking about those old sesame seeds and rotten millet, and picked up the rotten rice on the table. A cup of fragrant tea, and took a sip.

The tea was slightly hot and tasted slightly bitter. At this moment, he heard a loud discussion from the next table.

"Have you heard about Lingxiao City? The elders of the East China Sea Sword Sect have been entangled with several sects to come to provocation, and want to snatch the Scarlet Heaven Sword from Lingxue Immortal Venerable!"

Zhou Yue was slightly taken aback, and glanced at the next table without leaving a trace. There were a few well-dressed mortals sitting at the next table, but the capital was mixed with dragons and snakes, and many mortals also had some information channels.

One person was surprised and said: "The Donghai Sword Sect is so courageous, how dare you go to Lingxiao City to grab something?"

Another person sighed: "When Immortal Ling Xue was around, everyone was naturally respectful, but now Immortal Ling Xue has been missing for almost a year. The so-called people go to cool down, some people naturally began to be unscrupulous."

"Yeah, Lingxiao City is guarding the Sword Asking Valley, which is a legendary ancient battlefield with extremely strong aura. The Chixiao Sword, one of the four magic weapons, has lost its owner, and there are countless treasures of heaven and earth ... Lingxiao City without Immortal Lingxue is simply a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite."

"But there are Lu Zilin and Lin Siyun in Lingxiao City, don't they?"

"The Donghai Sword Sect has a lot of people. It is said that this time they dispatched five retreat elders, including three of the eighth-rank Golden Elixir, and two of the seven-rank Golden Elixir of the Great Perfection. Both Lu Zilin and Lin Siyun were seriously injured, so they barely Saved the Scarlet Firmament Sword, and saved the face of Soaring Firmament City."

Someone said angrily: "If Immortal Ling Xue is still there, how can the East Sea Sword School be so arrogant!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yue couldn't help asking: "Brothers, Gu... Is there any news from Immortal Ling Xue?"

One person sighed: "Yes, there has been no news for more than a year. According to my younger brother's guess, it may have fallen, and I don't know."

"I heard that Immortal Lingxue entered the Valley of Asking Swords and wanted to repair the seal, but was besieged by the demon cultivator and died."

"How did I hear that I lost my cultivation, I had no face to stay in Lingxiao City, and left by myself..."

Zhou Yue naturally understood in her heart that Gu Xuecheng was only in seclusion, but she didn't know when he would leave the seclusion. It would probably take at least one or two years. The day Gu Xuecheng left the seclusion would be the time when the world would shake.

The next table chatted for a while about the affairs of the cultivation world, but there were no major issues in the cultivation world recently, except for some sects coveting the Akasaka Sword, it was just some trivial matters. After chatting for a while, they began to talk about the palace affairs.

Someone said mysteriously: "Have you seen the imperial list on the street?"

"What imperial list?" Someone asked suspiciously.

"My little brother heard that the noble concubine Rong in the palace had a strange disease, and the imperial doctors were helpless, even the national teacher couldn't do anything, the emperor had no choice but to ask for a doctor."

"What strange disease?" Someone asked curiously.

"How do I know this? The emperor's list didn't mention it in detail. After all, it's a matter for the nobles in the palace. Who can explain it clearly."

"I do know a thing or two. The third cousin of my wife's natal family was washing clothes in the clothes washing bureau in the palace. One night, she overheard the chatting of the little maids who delivered the clothes, saying that Concubine Rong was pregnant with a... ghost fetus. People are sucked dry."

"Ghost fetus?! There is such a thing?"

"Hush, don't talk about royal affairs, be careful that walls have ears."

"Hahaha, drink tea, drink tea."

ulterior motive?Zhou Yue blinked. If evil spirits and monsters were involved, such a matter would be too much for the hospital to solve naturally, but she was a professional counterpart.

He took a sip of the fragrant tea and muttered to himself.

Gu Xuecheng didn't know that Bai Chenyu had the aptitude for the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and in order to help him achieve the Nirvana of the Phoenix, he took away a lot of elixir to help him form alchemy. Thinking from Gu Xuecheng's perspective, he would definitely think that he brought Bai Chenyu with him. Yu, found a place with abundant aura, refined all kinds of panacea, stabilized Bai Chenyu's realm, and helped him completely control the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

Therefore, Zhou Yue did the opposite, and did not go to those mountains with strong aura to live in seclusion, and also vetoed what Bai Chenyu said, directly controlling a sect with spiritual veins, but brought Bai Chenyu and Xu Qingluo, She hid in the most prosperous capital city and lived in seclusion in the city.

And what is the safest and least suspicious place in the world?In modern terms, it is naturally... within the system.

Zhou Yue took a sip of tea lightly, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the gossip at the table next door. After listening for a while, he was basically sure that Concubine Rong Gui had indeed messed with something evil.

As long as you can cure Concubine Rong's ghost, it is very easy to be a famous imperial doctor. With royal connections, you can fabricate a complete set of identities, and call Bai Chenyu and Xu Qingluo your cousins. , I changed from a very suspicious casual cultivator to a family doctor.

Gu Xuecheng would never have imagined that in order to avoid him, he would be able to do this.

Zhou Yue made up her mind, put a small piece of broken silver on the table, and left the teahouse.

When he walked to the street, there was indeed a bright yellow imperial list posted on the wall, but there were only a few words written on it, and it did not explain the patient's condition clearly. When it comes to things like ghost fetuses, Huangbang naturally won't talk too carefully.

Zhou Yue squinted her eyes, gently took off the imperial list, rolled it up and stuffed it into her sleeve.

At this time, the sun was already slanting to the west, the sky was gradually gloomy, and a gust of cold wind was blowing in front of him. Zhou Yue couldn't help shivering shiveringly. After that, he actually started to feel afraid of the cold.

It's really useless.Zhou Yue shook her head helplessly, tightened the neckline of the brocade robe, and walked back slowly.

As soon as he walked into the gate of the courtyard, Bai Chenyu rushed up to greet him. While putting a thick fur-collared cloak on Zhou Yue, he complained, "I brought back some high-quality thousand-year-old snow lotus, and I am letting Qingluo I’m cooking snow lotus and white fungus soup for my brother, where did my brother go? Maybe I’m going to buy alchemy ingredients again? You’re very weak now, don’t make alchemy these days, and go indoors to shelter from the wind.”

Zhou Yue was walked to the bedroom by his arms, and could only say helplessly: "I've been bored at home for a long time, and I go out for a stroll, how old am I, and I still need you to worry about it? Also, the best thousand-year-old snow lotus in the world is all How did you get it planted in the Millennium Pond at Biyun Temple in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Bai Chenyu said that he slipped his tongue, blinked his beautiful eyes, and then said firmly: "Kuzhen, that old bastard, I don't know how many young children have been harmed! There are such old beasts in Biyun Temple, I will take them What's wrong with some snow lotus?"

"..." Zhou Yue had nothing to say.

He couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. Although Bai Chenyu's darkening value has been very stable recently, staying at about 70%, and after he found out that he was sick, he didn't move anymore, but this kind of unreasonable and strong expression Logic, I don't know when it will be broken.

Bai Chenyu is now a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and it is easy for him to enter and leave sects such as Biyun Temple and Yanbolou. Temple bar.

After a while, Xu Qingluo walked into the bedroom with a hot soup of snow lotus and white fungus: "Sir, you look so pale, hurry up and drink it while it's hot."

Zhou Yue couldn't bear to ignore the little girl's kindness, so she had to take a sip, the taste was really soft and sweet: "Well, it tastes very good."

After taking two sips of snow lotus and white fungus soup, he finally felt warmer and his face was flushed.

At this time, the sky was getting late, and the north wind was blowing outside the window, Bai Chenyu said softly: "Brother's complexion is not very good, let's rest earlier today. Qingluo, make a bed for brother, and add another blanket."

Xu Qingluo was very nimble in her hands and feet, and quickly made the bed for Zhou Yue. After making the bed, she patted the buckwheat pillow again, and suddenly she was slightly taken aback: "Sir, you...you have gray hair."

As Xu Qingluo spoke, she stood up, her slender fingers twirling a piece of long hair, which was almost snow white, with a faint luster under the candlelight.

"Sir, this..." Although Xu Qingluo doesn't fully understand Zhou Yue, she also vaguely knows that Zhou Yue and Bai Chenyu are not ordinary people, they should be legendary monks, and Zhou Yue has a young and handsome face despite his thin body , looks at most 25 or six years old, how can there be gray hair?

Bai Chenyu was obviously a little nervous: "How is that possible?"

Zhou Yue stared blankly at the snow-white long hair, her heart sank slowly, but there was a nonchalant smile on her face: "When I combed my hair, I never found any white hair, maybe it was left by the nanny who cleaned the room. Just let it go."

Xu Qingluo felt relieved: "Hey, I'm the one who is stupid, Mr. is so young, how could he have gray hair?"

Bai Chenyu was not as innocent as Xu Qingluo, he lightly brushed Zhou Yue's hair, but he didn't see a trace of white hair, so he was relieved.

That's right, a monk's youth lasts forever, and gray hair is a sign of exhaustion. My brother is a seven-turn Jindan monk, and he is so young. Although he has been a little depressed recently, how could he be exhausted?

After Xu Qingluo made the bed, she insisted on pouring a brass soup pot for Zhou Yue. Jindan monks don't really need this kind of thing, but Zhou Yue didn't refuse, because he was really afraid of the cold these days.

Bai Chenyu returned to the bedroom, thinking about that long snow-white hair, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

He sat in front of the desk, took out a bunch of things from the mustard bag, placed them on the desk one by one, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully.

On the left is a lot of treasures from heaven and earth, all of which I have stolen or robbed from other sects in recent days, and some are medicinal materials such as snake gall and tiger bones obtained after killing fierce beasts. Now it seems that my brother's body has to continue to mend.

Next to Tiancaidibao, there are three things.

The first thing is a small wooden box, which contains five eight-turn golden pills; the second thing is a small copper bowl, which is the soul refining bowl of Guanhui; the third thing is a small golden sundial, which is On the night of digging the pill, I picked it up from Gu Xuecheng when my brother was not paying attention.

He tried the soul refining bowl a few times, and he could barely control it, but the Qiankun Sundial was very weird, it could only control things within an hour at most, and it was unstable, so it couldn't be used at will.

Bai Chenyu caressed the golden sundial, and couldn't help sighing softly, feeling a little melancholy.

If the legend is true, it would be great, if the Nine Turns Golden Elixir can make Qiankun Sundial recognize the master, then I can go back the years, go back to the time when my brother has not met Gu Xuecheng, and I can get all the love of my brother, My brother will not be depressed and hurt his body.

But then again, if the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can make Qiankun Dial recognize its master, then Gu Ruhai and Gu Xuecheng have already made it recognize its master, so how could it be their turn.

When we were chatting before, my brother accidentally mentioned that Gu Ruhai had planned to change Gu Ruhai's Qiankun Sundial. Gu Ruhai thought he could go back to 20 years ago, so he killed his beloved by mistake. Maybe... this Qiankun Sundial is an ominous thing.

Bai Chenyu looked at the small sundial made of pure gold, and slightly squinted his eyes. Forget it, don't think about those illusory things. Anyway, his brother will be his own sooner or later, and he just needs to wait patiently.

In recent days, my brother's attitude towards himself has obviously improved a lot, and he occasionally smiles. Maybe it won't be long before his brother will accept himself slowly.

It is said that people who are sick are more vulnerable than usual. My brother is not in good health recently. Maybe I can try to be cheeky and coquettish like before, so that my brother will gradually soften his heart. After all, my brother is a person who eats soft but not hard.

As for the missing Gu Xuecheng, I don't need to mind too much, even if he is very talented, once again formed the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, and came to revenge, he still has the soul refining bowl and the universe sundial in his hand, which is enough for him to eat Walking around, let alone snatching my brother from myself.

Bai Chenyu thought about it carefully for a while, and felt that there should be no problem with the current situation, so he put away the medicinal materials and magic weapons, and went to bed to rest.

……

As the night deepened, Zhou Yue lay on the bed, listening to the north wind whistling outside the window, gradually felt her hands and feet were cold, she couldn't help curling up, and hugged Tang Pozi, who was hot in her arms, and felt a little better.

He thought of the long snow-white hair, the empty dantian, the riddled meridians, and the dull seven-turn golden elixir, and his chest felt a little stuffy.

Maybe I'm really running out of time.

However, I have to go back after completing the task anyway, and there is no difference in living two years more or two years less. Zhou Yue tried to comfort herself, but thinking that she is gradually exhausted, maybe she will die an ugly death , still a little sad.

He barely dispelled those heavy emotions, and tried his best to extract a trace of residual spiritual energy from his dantian as he did a few days ago, slowly nourishing the tattered meridians, but the effect was still the same as usual, not very good.

He was originally a seven-turn gold elixir, but after helping Gu Xuecheng endure the damage of three mental trials, his dantian and meridians were in a mess and could not be repaired at all. Now he can move freely like an ordinary person, which is already very good up.

Zhou Yuefa was stunned for a while, but had no choice but to accept the fact, and then forcefully mobilized his aura, trying to restore those marks on his body.

For the three times of double cultivation, Gu Xuecheng was in a muddleheaded state, and he didn't feel sorry for him, leaving a lot of marks on him each time.

The first two times were fine, Gu Xuecheng lost the golden elixir, he was just an ordinary person, and the traces left behind did not carry from the spirit body to the body, but the last time, perhaps because during the double cultivation, Gu Xuecheng's perfect golden elixir had gradually faded away. Formed, the traces left behind are like brand marks, directly brought from the spirit body to the body, and have not been able to dissipate. It seems almost shocking.

Zhou Yue worked hard for a while, but it still didn't work.

His aura was already very thin, and he soon felt exhausted. He could only sigh, cursed a few bad words, and gave up helplessly.

He stared blankly at the top of the pitch-black curtain, thinking bitterly, it’s a good thing it’s not a modern society, after he finishes his mission and dies, he doesn’t have to be stripped naked by the forensic doctor for an autopsy, otherwise he will have to die again after his death , that is too sad.

Thinking of this not-funny joke, Zhou Yue forced the corners of her lips to curl up, and continued to comfort herself. Anyway, she would never face other people naked again, doing that kind of extremely intimate thing. Someone would discover his predicament, so why should he bother to repair the traces?

Anyway, I'm going to die, it's better to save that strength and eat a few more meals.

Whether it is the meridian full of holes or the broken body, it is only his secret, and he will take these secrets to the grave, and no one will know them again.

At least from the appearance, he is still an ordinary casual cultivator, not a big brother who is willing to be a furnace, easily loses his body, and grays his hair early.

After I died, it seemed that it was only because of depressed mood, weak body, and finally ran out of fuel. The so-called dying in depression sounds quite forceful, and it won't be too hip.

Zhou Yue pretended to be relaxed and comforted himself for a while, but he still felt a little uncomfortable. He took a deep breath, tried to divert his attention, stopped thinking about his sad body, and started thinking about system tasks.

In two days, I will go to see a doctor for that Concubine Rong, get rid of that "ghost fetus", and then get a false identity as a famous imperial doctor, and settle down in the capital.

From then on, he will try his best to avoid Gu Xuecheng, complete the task conscientiously, arrange Bai Chenyu well, and then leave this book world, never to return.

He wants to return to the modern society, be an ordinary person, take good care of Xiaoling and grandma, and live the ordinary and happy life before.

Maybe he will still go to work, but it doesn't have to be so hard, he doesn't have to force 996, and he doesn't have to please the boss with a cold face. He has more than 2 points, so he can pay off the mortgage and live a normal and good life.

Zhou Yue tried her best not to think about Gu Xuecheng's cold and handsome face, not thinking about her dilapidated body, but trying to think about the system rewards after completing the task, thinking that she could finally take a long vacation for herself and stay at home to watch Online writing, playing games, drinking milk tea, eating random stuffed with some junk food.

In the end, he thought of his grandma's loving and gentle face, and Zhou Xiaoling's rebellious appearance of talking back, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and finally he slowly fell asleep.
