"Tick."

A drop of water leaked from the crack in the cave and landed on the tip of Mo Xi's nose.

"..."

Mo Xi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were a little slack, and he didn't even know what night it was.For a while, he saw the chaos of the Bat Tower still swaying in front of his eyes, and for a while he saw Gu Mangmiao's back walking away in the dusk.

The heart was stuffed under the flesh and blood, beating dully.Before that, it was almost broken to the point of stopping.

Mo Xi slowed down for a while, until his vision was no longer so blurred, he turned his stiff neck and looked left and right - he was lying in a cave, this cave was not too deep, he could see the starry night outside, a pile of firewood The fire was crackling and burning, and there were three people sitting beside the firepit, namely Gu Mang, Jiang Yexue and Murong Chuyi.And Yue Chenqing was lying not far from her, covered with Jiang Yexue's cloak.

Mo Xi had a severe headache and closed his eyes in pain.

Memories before coma were polished one by one in the brain like lightning and flint.

All kinds of past in the time mirror, Gu Mang slowly walked away with Lu Zhanxing's corpse on his back, and the lotus flower of the old beggar sounded sadly - I also once carried Gao Xuan on a light fur and fat horse, pointing at thousands of people to drive to the mountain.There was a sound of encirclement and surprise, and the people greeted them like gods.Who will get back when the gold is gone today? My friend is out of the pack and the hunting dog cooks...

And at the end when they came out of the mirror, Gu Mang stood in the bloody wind with a cold face.

Mo Xi sat up abruptly, and the sound spread to the three people who were chatting around the fire.Gu Mang was the first to notice it. He turned his head and met Mo Xi's eyes.

Gu Mang: "..."

Mo Xi: "..."

But Gu Mang's first sentence was not directed at Mo Xi, he stared at Mo Xi for a moment, then turned to Jiang Yexue and Murong Chuyi and said:

"He's awake."

The other two immediately looked at him. Jiang Yexue used a wooden wheelchair and came to Mo Xi's side: "Mr. Xihe, how are you? Is there any discomfort?"

Mo Xi didn't answer, his heart was pounding, he was still looking at Gu Mang who was sitting by the campfire.

After he regained his composure, he still felt astonished, bewildered, and surprised by Gu Mang's sudden recovery—he even thought it was like a dream.

But when he closed his eyes and opened them again, it was still this cave and these people.

it is true.

The time mirror really stimulated Gu Mang's mind while bringing Gu Mang back to the past, it really made Gu Mang have the same mentality as yesterday!

"You..." Mo Xi moved his haggard lips, but his voice was hoarse.

Gu Mang glanced at him, and his blue eyes turned away lightly, his expression was almost exactly the same as that of the young man from eight years ago in the time mirror, as if covered with a thin layer of frost.

Seeing that Gu Mang didn't answer, Jiang Yexue was afraid of Mo Xi's embarrassment, so she said, "Gu Mang is fine. Besides... when you were unconscious, he already told us everything about the memory recovery, so you don't have to worry. "

Mo Xi looked at Gu Mang who sat silently by the firepit across Jiang Yexue. Gu Mang's demeanor was very leisurely, with one foot curled up, the other propped up, his elbows resting on his knees, and even the hem of his clothes They were all slightly torn open, resembling the army ruffian back then.

Ever since he entered the time mirror, Mo Xi has been stimulated too much, and this last blow was completely beyond his expectation.

The moment Mo Xi realized that Gu Mang had recovered his memory, there was a moment of sad and short-lived ecstasy.That kind of ecstasy comes from the fact that their past is finally shared by two people again, but that is only a moment after all.At this moment he looked at him, but the violent throbbing in his chest cooled down little by little.

Gradually, this mood was crushed by the unknown, anxiety, bewilderment and confusion.

He seems to have thought a lot in this short period of time, and it seems that he has been tortured to the point where his body is covered with bruises and numb. His mind was in a daze for a while, and his final thoughts were frozen like this - Gu Mang recovered his memory, but he was even more and more unlike what he remembered. Senior Brother Gu, on the contrary, was very cold.

Obviously he was the first to notice that Mo Xi had woken up, but he didn't get up, and only let Murong Chuyi and Jiang Yexue take care of him, but he turned his face away, holding a cup of hot tea and drinking it like nothing happened.

Mo Xi looked at his silhouette, and the heaviness in his heart became deeper and deeper.

Jiang Yexue saw that he was silent for a while, just staring at Gu Mang in a daze, and said worriedly, "Mr. Xihe, are you alright?"

Mo Xi paused, turned his gaze away from Gu Mang, and tried to calm down, "...Okay."

After a while, because he didn't want Jiang Yexue to see anything more, he made a mistake and asked, "...where are we...?"

"Still on Bat Island." Jiang Yexue replied, "Things are too big, Wuyan has sealed off the entire island, and we are so worn out that we won't be able to get out for a while."

"Who?"

"It's the female bat queen of Bat Island. Her name is Wu Yan."

Mo Xi wearyly said: "...it's obviously a bat, why do you call yourself Yan?"

"Yeah, it's such a weird name." Jiang Yexue said, "When we entered the tower, Wuyan was retreating and practicing in the underground palace to a critical juncture, so she never came out after making such a big commotion. Chu Yi, the tribe that took over her entire tower..." After saying the name, she realized that something was wrong, and changed her words, "My uncle rescued Chen Qing from her prison again. After you fell into a coma, she just ended Zhou Tian, ​​​​and broke the law. Guan chased him out—fortunately, there was Gu Mang."

As Jiang Yexue said, she glanced at Gu Mang.

Gu Mang was quite polite to others, but he was able to grin at Jiang Yexue as before the rebellion.

Jiang Yexue didn't know how to respond, so she had to turn her face back again, and then said, "Because Gu Mang was able to take charge of his own affairs, we were able to escape and find this cave. But Wuyan was already mad, and now the entire building is The Bat Island is covered with screaming spells, if you don’t pay attention, you will be found by her. I have placed a concealment spell here, and it can be avoided for a while, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Mo Xi raised his hand to press his twitching temples, he slowed down for a while, then turned to look at Yue Chenqing who was still sleeping soundly curled up in the big armchair.But I haven't seen her for more than ten days, Yue Chenqing has lost a lot of weight, her round cheeks are sunken, and the lines of her cheeks look extremely lonely.

Mo Xi asked, "How is he?"

Just as Jiang Yexue was about to answer, he heard Gu Mang's voice: "If you have anything to say, come over and say it. You can light a fire and eat something."

Even though there were thousands of scars and calluses all over her heart, she still shuddered suddenly at this slightly warm sentence.

Mo Xi raised his eyes to look at him, and was about to say thank you in a low voice, but the words were still in his throat, when Gu Mang said in a slow voice: "Maybe Mr. Xihe is too weak to walk?" It's on the way, do you need me to carry it?"

That thank you was blocked at once.Choked in the throat, choked so hard to even breathe.

He thought that after they came out of the time mirror, they would be able to relax a little.At least he wanted to ease up with Gu Mang, he wanted to apologize to Gu Mang for his mistakes back then, and he wanted to try to ask Gu Mang the truth about that year.

But Gu Mang didn't think so.The hostility in Gu Mang's words was still exactly the same as that of the traitor loyal to the Liao Kingdom before.

An unrepentant tone.

Mo Xi said softly: "Gu Mang..."

"Huh?" Gu Mang sneered, "Do you really want me to recite it?"

"..." Mo Xi's eyes dimmed inch by inch, like a candlestick that was about to be extinguished after suffering for too long - Gu Mang extinguished the last light in his eyes.

Gu Mang's attitude after recovering seemed to be eccentric and he said: Mo Xi, you see we are both like this, what is there to talk about?

Whatever the truth, whatever the past, be hostile, we have no other choice.

Mo Xi gritted his teeth and stood up. Although he was very worn out, he walked to the firepit. He took a deep look at Gu Mang, as if he wanted to speak, but finally turned his face away.

He silently sat next to Murong Chuyi, a place far away from Gu Mang.

Gu Mang naturally noticed the seat he had chosen, smiled, and didn't say a word, just turning over the barbecue on the bonfire.

The silence around was uncomfortable, Mo Xi was silent for a moment, then turned to Murong Chuyi and asked, "How is Yue Chenqing?"

Murong Chuyi looked very pale, he lowered his eyes and said simply: "I suppressed the injury for him, and there is no serious life-threatening condition for now. But he was hit by the Bat King's Gu, and I can't get rid of it."

Mo Xi was stunned. Hearing Shan Gao's words before, Yue Chenqing was locked in a dark room with blood-sucking vines wrapped all over his body, but Shan Gao did not reveal that Yue Chenqing was also poisoned by Gu insects.

"What Gu?"

"I have never seen it before. It is a kind of Gu poison that has not been recorded in the Cultivation Continent. I asked the two high-level bat spirits guarding the dark room, but they didn't know much. The only thing I said was..."

When Murong Chuyi said this, he suddenly paused, frowned with some nausea, and coughed softly.

Jiang Yexue came over and handed him a cup of hot tea: "Uncle, drink some."

Murong Chuyi's face was ashen, and he pushed the person away, and the tea splashed Jiang Yexue's sleeves.

Jiang Yexue: "..."

Murong Chuyi slowed down his shortness of breath due to coughing for a while, and then said: "The only thing they said is that this Gu worm can wake up a corpse that has been drained of blood and make it a living dead. Its appearance, voice, memory and even emotion, can be reshaped.”

Gu Mang was idle and bored, so he turned into a Mowu bayonet and played with it in his hand, then put the bayonet into the fire as a tongs to stir up the flames, and said, "Isn't this just killing a person, Use the dead body to create a new person?"

"Indeed."

"What does the female devil want?" Gu Mang's slender fingers nimbly turned the blade, and asked while playing, "Who does she want to make with Yue Chenqing's body?"

"I don't know." Murong Chuyi said wearily, "Those two high-level bats were absolutely loyal. After I forced them to say these things, they exploded their spiritual cores and committed suicide. So I want to wait until I recover." After some time, go to the island to catch a monster who knows about it and ask about it."

He said, coughed a few more times, and said: "To detoxify Yue Chenqing, the more you know, the better."

"...That's fine." Gu Mang said bluntly, "Then you see, how about this? Anyway, I have a slave ring around my neck, so I can't run away, and you haven't recovered yet, so why don't I go out and catch a suitable demon?" , give you a trial?"

Murong Chuyi raised his eyes: "...so kind. Why?"

"I just want to live a better life." Gu Mang smiled at Murong Chuyi, "I will help you save people now. In exchange, I would like to ask you gentlemen to do me a favor and help me out. After returning to the city, please don't let me die." Tell others about my memory recovery."

This remark was really unexpected, and the other three were a little silent.

"What are you looking at me like that for?" Gu Mang turned the bayonet in his hand for the last time, waved his fingertips, and it turned into a spiritual flow and scattered into his palm, "Is my request very strange?"

Jiang Yexue said, "Gu Mang, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Gu Mang smiled.On the contrary, he was just like Mo Xi alone, he was so cold, and when he talked to other people, there was still some humanity in his eyebrows and eyes.

"I'm sorry, I know it's difficult for you. But I can't help it. If other people in Chonghua know that I have recovered, I'm afraid I will be sent back to Luomei Bieyuan again. People who trouble me will come one after another. Your Majesty will also take me to the Black Demon Trial, to torture me about the secrets related to the Liao Kingdom."

Murong Chuyi's face was ice and snow, and he said calmly, "Don't you deserve this punishment?"

"I didn't say I shouldn't." Gu Mang said shamelessly, "But I can always be afraid, right? Who would want to be killed all day long, or lie in bed waiting to be raped..."

Such vulgar words naturally made Murong Chuyi's face turn blue: "You——!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yexue smoothed things over: "If you don't want to go back to Mei Bie Yuan, we will work together to protect you. But we can't hide it for you, and telling Chonghua the secret of the Liao Kingdom is what you should do. "

Gu Mang simply said: "I can't state it, I forgot."

"..."

Seeing the expressions of these three noble masters, Gu Mang said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I really forgot."

Mo Xi looked at Gu Mang's face through the bonfire, the organ in his chest was in pain, and gradually felt a bit of resentment that was ignored.He closed his eyes, and the words between his lips and teeth were almost crushed: "Didn't you recover your memory?!"

"I didn't say that I remembered everything." Gu Mang said, "I lost two souls, so no matter what I do, I won't be able to fully recover."

Mo Xi stared at him, the emotions in his eyes were clearly filled with hatred and pain, but his thin face still maintained his composure: "...how did you lose those two souls of yours?"

The smile on Gu Mang's face disappeared, and after a while, he said lightly, "Oh, this is also the part I forgot."

"..."

"Don't look at me like that, I really don't know how I lost my soul. Believe it or not, you can use the soul-stirring technique to instill guilt, and you can ask it whatever you want Count me as loser."

Mo Xi turned his face away, and slowly clenched his fingers resting on his knees.He fell silent.

Murong Chuyi was always calm and calm. He didn't show any emotion. After thinking about everything Gu Mang had said, he stabbed Yao Li again: "If you are afraid of being treated harshly after you return to the city, why don't you just kill me right now?" we escape?"

"Beauty, good question." Gu Mang rubbed his chin and smiled, "Sure enough, cold and beautiful men are not easy to deal with, Xi He-jun is like this, and Mr. Murong is also like you."

Murong Chuyi: "..."

Mo Xi: "..."

Gu Mang smiled, his blue eyes swept over everyone one by one.

"In this situation, I seem to have a chance to kill someone and escape. Look at you, brother Jiang is ill, and his spiritual energy is exhausted. Brother Murong seems to be not feeling well either. He was probably injured while saving his nephew. The younger brother of the Yue family didn't even wake up at all. It would be easier for me to kill him than a sparrow." His eyes finally fell on Mo Xi, but he just barely touched it, and moved away lightly.

Gu Mang folded his arms and said with a smile: "My God, looking at it this way, it seems that I really can't justify not killing people and running for my life."

Murong Chuyi said: "So?"

With a flick of Gu Mang's fingertips, the bayonet Yong Ye was transformed again.He acted abruptly, but Murong Chuyi had been staring at him the whole time, unexpectedly without hesitation he summoned a golden talisman and instantly opened the protective barrier!

Gu Mang looked at the enchantment, spread his hands, and said with a smile, "Look, isn't this the end? If I kill someone, you won't fight back. Even if I have a chance of winning with the magic energy, but the spirit core is broken, I may not be able to defeat you. And even if I win, I will definitely be seriously injured, and when the movement attracts that female bat, am I going to lie down and make a clay figurine for her?"

"..." Murong Chuyi stared at Gu Mang for a while, and the golden light between his fingers slowly went out.

He glanced back at Yue Chenqing who was still in a coma, and said, "Trust you once. You help me honestly. I won't tell you about your condition after you go out."

Gu Mang smiled and said, "It's useless for you to just say it. Can you make sure that the mouths of your two cute little nephews are tight?" After a pause, his eyes finally swam to the silent Mo Xi.

"And the mouth of this Lord Xihe..." Gu Mang licked his upper teeth, still showing the details of a wolf dog. His eyes were gloomy, he stared at Mo Xi's pale lips, his voice was low and sweet Said, "The most stubborn. Brother Murong, help me and ask him to see if he can bear the humiliation and cover up his two beautiful lips honestly for me?"

The author has something to say:

Yesterday I saw some friends questioning why Mangmang can summon Yongye after confirming the memory of 8 years of treason, that is because Yongye is a magic weapon, and the summoning mechanism is different from Shenwu, and Murong Lian made him difficult in the opening chapter At that time, he had already been summoned once because of the runaway, so even if he didn't have the memory of the eight years of treason, he could still summon Yongye~~~Memeza~~~

Ximei: How on earth did you lose those two souls of yours? Tell me!

Gu Mangmang: (Amnesia state) I really can’t remember clearly, I try to remember, don’t be angry QAQ

Ximei: How on earth did you lose those two souls of yours? Tell me!
