King's Landing [Rebirth]

There are two types of insect cultivation, one is corpses and the other is living people.

It is easier to use parasitic Gu worms on freshly dead corpses than living people, but the method of preserving corpses is more troublesome, and the worms produced are stiff and inflexible, similar to marionettes, not suitable for fighting people, at most they can be served at home to serve tea Pour water and clean the house.In this way, not only the cost is high, but the effect is also poor, so the Gu masters in Fujian began to play tricks on living people.

The parasitic Gu is different from ordinary Gu. In order to retain most of the consciousness of the living, the parasitic Gu is an intermediate king Gu that has survived layer upon layer of biting.The living beings parasitized are infinitely powerful, ignorant, and absolutely obey the Gu Master's orders.Many Gu masters who make living insects carefully select their hosts, and those who know martial arts are of course the best.

It is very difficult for living insects to succeed, because the host will resist in the early stage and choose to commit suicide when conscious.But even if only a small part succeeds, the fighting power of this small part is still very impressive.It's not uncommon for bugs to be used by Gu masters for assassination, but because bugs are used less than one, Gu masters won't release bugs easily unless they have to.

The bugman in the tavern yesterday was a living bugman, it can be seen that he retains most of his consciousness, under the control of the Gu master, he can talk like a normal person, no different.

"The worm man in the tavern must have been created by the yamen Gu master, but I'm curious why he is so obsessed with you two. Even if he is a talisman that the county magistrate invited back at a high price, it's already done for the county magistrate out of morality. , why would you intercept and kill again?"

The incident happened suddenly during the day, and Liang Jian was only thinking about detoxifying Mei Zhenghan, but he didn't think about it carefully.Now that Jiang Shengxue mentioned it, he thought about it deeply and found that the situation was not as simple as it seemed.

There was a wave of people in the tavern, but clearly the purpose was different.Those killers were well-trained, and it was obvious at a glance that they were organizations that often worked with partners, and their goal was Mei Zhenghan.This is not difficult to understand, because Mei Zhenghan successfully escaped, it is not impossible for the county magistrate's son to offer a huge reward in a rage.

As for that bugman, his target was not Mei Zhenghan, but Jiang Shengxue.From the beginning when he answered the conversation, to the end when he cried bitterly, the topic was all about Jiang Shengxue.It's just that he used Doctor Jiang's kindness to him as a cover, so that people didn't have too much doubt for a while.

Liang Jian, as an extra person in this hunt, naturally became the stumbling block that this group of people wanted to kill first. This also explained why Jiang Shengxue and Mei Zhenghan went out and those people did not move, but they had to wait until Liang Jian got up. follow out.When the bugman pounced on him, he probably wanted to get entangled and stab Liang Jian unexpectedly, but he didn't expect that Liang Jian didn't want to talk to him at all.

Liang Jian was provoked into anger in the tavern, and she didn't even think about keeping alive, so she killed them all.At this moment, he had doubts in his heart, and he thought about the incident carefully, and found that there were indeed many strange things in it.

It stands to reason that once the magistrate of Li County dies, even if the Gu masters in the yamen terminate the deal with him, they can leave without getting involved in this troubled water.But instead of leaving, he pressed on every step of the way, and even sent buggers to follow the killer to intercept him halfway.

Furthermore, even if the yamen wants to guard Jiang Shengxue to catch Mei Zhenghan, it is fine to lie in ambush outside Jiang's house, there is no need to guard Jiang Shengxue every step of the way.They guarded so blatantly, Mei Zhenghan is not a fool, he would run up and throw himself into the trap.Looking back now, the appearance of the yamen was not like arresting Mei Zhenghan, but rather preventing Jiang Shengxue from leaving and trapping her to death in the county seat.

Jiang Shengxue is an orphan, why is the government guarding against her?Or, the yamen or the Gu master want to get something from Jiang Shengxue.But he was also afraid of Mei Zhenghan's existence, so he didn't dare to rob each other, so he had to consume each other.

Jiang Yi left two things for Mei Zhenghan, so he will definitely leave other things for Jiang Shengxue.It's just that Jiang Shengxue didn't mention it, and Mei Zhenghan didn't ask. Most people don't think so deeply, so naturally they don't take this kind of thing to heart.

Things that can attract people to snatch cannot be so simple, Liang Jian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze towards Jiang Shengxue became dangerous.

Jiang Shengxue has been intentionally avoiding Liang Jian's gaze, she hangs her head with a haggard look, her black hair hangs by her ears, she has the morbid beauty of a weak willow Fufeng.It wasn't a whim when she talked with Liang Jian tonight, it was just a panic in her heart.That Gu master gave her a bad feeling, when she thought of the scene during the day, her scalp tingled.

She is a doctor, and she has seen a lot of life and death with Jiang Yi, and she has also seen a lot of blood and death, but those things are completely different from what happened during the day.Liang Jianjian's killing made her terrified, but after the fear, there was a deep fear of chasing and killing.After all, she is young and has no experience in the world. It is better to experience it than to see it or hear it.

For the first time, she understood that the rivers and lakes are precarious, and the souls of the dead under the sword come whenever they say they want.If you want to live in peace, unless you withdraw from the whirlpool.

But she can't, at least now she can't get out of this vortex, she is still at the very center of this vortex, there is no way to get out.

"Will those people continue to hunt and kill us?" Jiang Shengxue couldn't answer Liang Jian's doubts. She was more worried about the future than why.

Regarding Jiang Shengxue's avoidance of answering, Liang Jian did not continue to ask. He withdrew his slightly oppressive eyes, leaned on the guardrail lazily and said, "Don't worry, I will let them come and go if they dare to come."

It's just a few young people, Liang Jian doesn't take it to heart.

Jiang Shengxue nodded, but his face was not relaxed, and he still seemed to be very concerned about this matter.

Liang Jian thought about it, and thought that she didn't blame Jiang Shengxue for being like this. A girl's family lived a life of running around and fleeing at a young age, and depression was inevitable.

"Okay, don't think too much, go back and rest, we might have to continue our journey tomorrow." Liang Jian comforted Jiang Shengxue appropriately, and urged her to go to bed.

Jiang Shengxue looked up at him, pursed her lips and said nothing, and said after a while, "You stretch out your hand."

"What are you doing?" Liang Jian asked puzzledly, and reached out her hand cooperatively.

Jiang Shengxue didn't answer, but touched Liang Jian's wrist to give him his pulse.Liang Jian raised her eyebrows in doubt, wondering if this girl remembered that he was still a sick patient and was planning to check the internal injuries he suffered in the county?

"You didn't hide when that bugman rushed towards you during the day. I was worried that you would be bewitched by him, but it seems that he didn't carry a Gu bug on him, so you didn't get hit." Jiang Shengxue let go of Liang Jian's hand and explained Dao: "In fact, Gu masters from Fujian rarely come to West Yunnan, unless it is a Gu master conference. After Gu art flowed from Fujian to West Yunnan, a new faction formed and improved on the original basis. The annual Gu master conference Only people from Fujian come to communicate with us. Our voodoo is essentially the same as theirs, but there are different diversions in development. We sneer at some conservative factions in Fujian, and the people of Fujian do not see our improvement Eye-catching. If the Gu Master hired by the county magistrate is really from Fujian, then his purpose of staying is definitely not that simple."

In fact, when detoxifying Mei Zhenghan, Jiang Shengxue wanted to give Liang Jian a pulse check.But when Liang Jian interrupted her, she forgot about it for a while, and when she returned to her room, she remembered that she was still thinking about it.If Liang Jian hadn't told her to go to sleep just now, she might still not be able to remember.

As soon as Gu was mentioned, the chatter box in Jiang Shengxue's heart opened, and she couldn't help but talk to Liang Jian.

Liang Jian listened carefully to her talk about the voodoo sects in western Yunnan, many of which were consistent with the situation in her previous life.When Liang Jian assembled the Gu master alliance during the war against Fujian in the previous life, he heard those Gu masters chatting about the schools of Gu art. At that time, they also mentioned a man named Jiang Gong, Liang Jian was deeply impressed.

"If Jiang Gong was here, we wouldn't have lost so much. It's a pity that he left early, and even his only daughter is missing."

The Gu Master who lamented Jiang Gong's death had a gray beard. It is said that he was older than Jiang Gong. He lost to Jiang Gong several times in the Gu Master Conference.

Liang Jian also lamented that it was a pity that he did not have the chance to meet such a righteous man.

"You know so much about Gu art in western Yunnan, so you are also a Gu master?" After Jiang Shengxue finished speaking, Liang Jian asked, "Have you ever heard of a man named Jiang Gong?"

I don't know if it was Liang Jian's illusion, but when he mentioned Jiang Gong, Jiang Shengxue's eyelashes licked and tears flickered in his eyes.But while he was watching, Jiang Shengxue's face was as usual, with lowered eyebrows and soft expression.

"I've dabbled in both Gu and poison, because my father is a restless person, and he wants me to learn all his skills. Qiao County is very close to Fujian, so it's easy to collect things about Gu. As for Jiang Gong..." Jiang Shengxue said: "He is a very famous senior among the Gu masters, but he is mysterious, I have only heard about him, but never seen him. Why, you know him too."

"I've heard about it." Liang Jian was even more curious about this Jiang Gong in his heart, and replied casually: "I heard that he also has a daughter."

"..." Liang Jian's words made Jiang Shengxue slightly embarrassed. She stretched her eyebrows and smiled slightly, and said, "I thought that when I came out of the territory of western Yunnan, people outside would either sneer at Gushu or ignore it. I didn't expect Big brother Liang not only dabbles, but also knows more about the legendary figures in the faction than me."

"So he really has a daughter?" Liang Jian was a little surprised, he thought those Gu masters were joking.

Jiang Shengxue covered her lips and laughed loudly, "Unfortunately, I heard that he has a son."

"..."

Yep, it's just a joke.

Liang Jian shook his head helplessly, he couldn't believe the false rumors, he would doubt whether that Jiang Gong really existed.

It was foggy in Qingxi County in the morning, and the streets were covered with whiteness. The fog did not dissipate until the sun rose three poles.The golden sunlight came in from the window, Liang Jian was sitting at the table drinking tea, Mei Zhenghan was breathing steadily on the bed, and there was no sign of waking up.Liang Jian and Jiang Shengxue chatted very late last night. Jiang Shengxue didn't go to bed until dawn, and she didn't get up now.

Liang Jian was in good spirits, went downstairs for breakfast and went out, brought back some necessities, and hired a carriage by the way.

Although Jiang Shengxue's way of dispelling Gu was milder than Liang Jian's direct bloodletting, but it hurt his muscles and bones after all, and Mei Zhenghan needed to rest for a while.But this place is not a good place to rest, they have to move on.Riding a carriage is more comfortable than riding a horse, allowing Mei Zhenghan to recuperate on the road.

The sunlight in the room moves with time, extending from the window to the bed.Mei Zhenghan moved his fingers resting on the quilt, slowly waking up.The moment he opened his eyes, the sun fell into his eyes, and he raised his hands to cover them uncomfortably, and turned his head to the side.

"Wake up? How do you feel?"

Liang Jian, who was still drinking tea just now, arrived at the bed at some time. Mei Zhenghan saw him blankly for a while, and then remembered what happened yesterday.He suddenly supported the bed and sat up, a stabbing pain in his back made him groan|groan, and fell back on the bed in pain.

Liang Jian originally reached out to help him, but when he saw him falling back, he touched his nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Mei Zhenghan burst into tears, looked at Liang Jian aggrievedly, and sat up from the bed.This time he learned to be smart, propping up the bed and getting up slowly, trying not to involve the wound.

"How did this happen? I only remember the onset of Gu poison, what happened afterwards, why did I feel like someone had cut me from the back." Mei Zhenghan reached out to touch the stinging spot on his back, but he didn't feel it. Something like a bandage felt like a small cut, but the pain was like oozing from the bone. If Liang Jian wasn't in front of him, he would definitely hammer the bed.

"Is it really that uncomfortable?" Mei Zhenghan's blue eyes were soaked with water, like a blue lake.Liang Jian's throat tightened, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.He thought that Jiang Shengxue's method was gentle and probably wouldn't hurt.

Mei Zhenghan was suffering beyond words, and his expression became more and more aggrieved.Liang Jian saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, so she sat on the side of the bed and asked Mei Zhenghan to take off his coat to check the wound.Mei Zhenghan obeyed. He took off his clothes, revealing his smooth back.

Last night, where Jiang Shengxue cut the knife, there was only a thin cut long from the little finger, and there was a circle of red marks around the wound, which didn't look like the blood was congealed under the skin.Liang Jian stretched out his hand to press, Mei Zhenghan patted the bed in pain, Liang Jian was so frightened that he didn't dare to touch it again.

Mei Zhenghan turned his head to look at Liang Jian, and when the curse words came to his lips, he forcibly held back: "What's going on?" He asked, his voice was quite gnashing of teeth.

Liang Jian told Mei Zhenghan what happened yesterday in a few words. Knowing that this was the wound left after the devotion, Mei Zhenghan stared wide-eyed, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.This detoxification is more tormenting than no detoxification. Does he have to continue to suffer like this?

"I don't know about this either, I'd better find Miss Jiang to come and have a look for you." Liang Jian didn't understand the red marks around the wound, so she had to ask Jiang Shengxue.

Poor Jiang Shengxue just went back to bed and fell asleep, and was woken up before she woke up.He didn't even have the time to wash up, so he came to check on Mei Zhenghan after changing his clothes.

"It's because the residual poison is not cleared. Just drink two doses of medicine. If it really hurts, you have to endure it." Jiang Shengxue said the result without sympathy after reading it.It is not difficult to detoxify the Silkworm Heart Gu, but the Gu in Mei Zhenghan's body was activated yesterday and spit out the venom, which made the wound look like this.

Silkworm Heart Gu's toxin will hinder wound healing and aggravate the pain.

"...All right." Mei Zhenghan, who struggled uselessly, accepted the reality and lay motionless on the bed.

Jiang Shengxue gave him a white look, ignored his wailing, and went back to his room to sleep.After talking with Liang Jian last night, she felt much better. Although she was still afraid of Liang Jian, she was able to hide this emotion.After the big stone in her heart was lifted, she was very sleepy. She couldn't get a good night's sleep and couldn't make it on her way.

Seeing that the two siblings were in low spirits, Liang Jian changed the schedule to the afternoon.Leaving from Qingxi County, there is a county close by, and you can arrive there if you leave in the afternoon, and you won't sleep in the wilderness.

In order not to concentrate on the wound on his back, Mei Zhenghan started to have fun for himself.The living person in the house, Liang Jian, naturally became his target. In the face of pain, only beauty can comfort him a little.

"You slept all day and all night, are you hungry? I'll go downstairs and bring you a bowl of porridge."

It was fine if Liang Jian didn't say anything, Mei Zhenghan's stomach growled in response to the occasion.The two of them looked at each other, Mei Zhenghan rubbed her stomach awkwardly, Liang Jian couldn't help laughing, her peach blossom eyes were bent into crescent moons, the water was rippling, and the romance was infinite.

Mei Zhenghan felt even hungrier, his Adam's apple was rolling, he looked at Liang Jian aggrievedly and asked, "Can I drink?"

"No, taboo."

Liang Jian mercilessly denied it, and went upstairs to serve Mei Zhenghan a bowl of millet porridge.Mei Zhenghan lay on the bed because of the pain from his wound, and Liang Jian came over with porridge. After thinking about it, he got up and drank the porridge himself.After eating a bowl of porridge, Mei Zhenghan could barely fill his stomach, so he wasn't that hungry.

"The medicine that Miss Jiang gave you can't be taken on an empty stomach, so I'll ask you to drink a bowl of porridge first. I've asked the waiter to decoct the medicine. After drinking the medicine, you'll feel better. We'll go downstairs for dinner."

Liang Jian took the porcelain bowl and put it on the tray, and explained to Mei Zhenghan why he only served him a bowl of porridge, not to make him hungry.

Mei Zhenghan frowned when he heard that he wanted to drink medicine.But after thinking about it, he would die of pain if he didn't drink, it seemed that it was not worthwhile.

"Where are we going next?" Feeling uncomfortable anyway, Mei Zhenghan simply put all these things behind her, and concentrated on admiring Liang Jian who was sitting in front of her bed and taking care of her, chatting with others .

Liang Jian allowed him to chat with him: "Didn't your master tell you to go to Mobei? Let's go to Mobei."

"Does he really want me to go to Mobei?" Mei Zhenghan was silent for a moment, his eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and said quietly: "Since Master asked Sheng Xue to tell me that I can go to Mobei when I have nowhere to go, it shows that there is something wrong in his heart." He didn't want me to go. It's just that he was worried that Sheng Xue and I would have a difficult life after he left, so he had to give us a way out."

Mei Zhenghan understood his master's personality, if his master really wanted him to go to Mobei, it would not add the condition of being desperate.Master would say this, mostly out of helplessness.

Liang Jian was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and after a while, he murmured, "Really?"

It turned out that Jiang Yi's last words were not to ask Mei Zhenghan to go to Mobei, but to leave a way out for Mei Zhenghan.In the previous life, Mei Zhenghan went directly to Mobei without stopping, was it because there was really no way out at that time?

Liang Jian suddenly remembered that not only had he never met Jiang Shengxue in his previous life, but he had never even heard of Jiang Shengxue's name.Jiang Shengxue did not appear in his previous life.In other words, when Mu Zhenghan left Qiao County, not only did Jiang Yi die, but Jiang Shengxue also died.He was wanted and hunted down by a Gu master alone, and was seriously injured, so he had to flee to Mobei.

In this life, because of Liang Jian's appearance, Jiang Shengxue was safe and sound, and Mei Zhenghan had a choice. He didn't have to repeat the fate of the previous life, but could choose a new start.

"I heard that the Poetry Club in Hongye City is still open. Brother Liang, why don't we go to Hongye City?"

When Liang Jian was stunned, Mei Zhenghan had already thought about the next journey. Anyway, the three of them don't have a definite goal now, so they will play first and then plan.

Liang Jian looked up at Mei Zhenghan's bright smile, curled his mouth and said, "Okay, go to Hongye City."

As long as it is where you want to go, I will accompany you.Now that I have changed your destiny, I will be responsible for your future life.
