Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

The moonlight sprinkled on the dark river surface, coating the entire river surface with a silver border, flowing with the water waves.

A medium-sized passenger ship swayed on the river under the moonlit night, slowly going upstream.

In the cabin, a kerosene lamp flickered back and forth, making the surrounding scenery very dim.Only a bed, a table, and a bench can be vaguely seen.

At first glance, it looks very simple, but upon closer inspection, you can find that the bedding on the bed is all high-quality silk quilts.Even the pastries on the table are placed on exquisite jade plates.

Under the dim light, the man looked at the information in his hand, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly raised.And the man in black kneeling in front of him lowered his head, as if he wanted to hide himself in the darkness.

The man raised his head, his expression looked a little gloomy under the dim light, and even the upturned corners of his mouth made people shudder.

"This news is really timely."

"How does the young master plan to deal with it?"

The man smiled, rolled up the information in his hand, and stuffed it back into the place where he was originally. "In order to intercept the information of Yanyu Building, we have put in a lot of effort. But this information is really worth the effort."

The man put the information back into the original tube with the black cloud pattern, but found that it could not be recovered anyway.So he looked at it carefully again, and said: "The workmanship is really exquisite. Once it is disassembled once, it is impossible to restore it." After finishing speaking, the man smiled and said: "We still have time, this information must be processed. Hand it over to Gu Moqian, but it will be on his wedding day."

The man in black kneeling on the ground frowned slightly and said, "But from that time, will it be..."

"It won't be too long. In the current form, Nan Hui doesn't have that much time."

"Yes, young master is wise."

"Before that, go and restore him."

"Yes."

After speaking, the man in black got up and exited the cabin.

The man stretched his waist, smiled and said to himself: "Gong Jiuqing, Gu Moqian... really an interesting couple."

……

Here at Guangyang Pass...

It has been about seven or eight days since Gong Jiuqing was poisoned, and Gong Jiuqing is still the same as before, drowsy all day long.But Gu Moming and the others obviously wouldn't point all their fingers at Princess Guixiu in Nanhui Palace just because of the hexagram of the Peach Blossom Tribulation that Gong Jiuqing said.

Of course, in Gu Moming's information, there will never be any mention of Princess Guixiu.

Xin Mufei began to transmit internal energy to Gong Jiuqing, and Bai Xiaoxian also put all the refreshing things in his room.Although Chen Zhongwei caught the person who tricked Gong Jiuqing, that person committed suicide the night he was caught.

However, Chen Zhongwei still relentlessly investigated the suspicious persons in the entire Guangyang Pass, and finally locked the target on the Lingxu military doctor who had been captured before.As for how the interrogation went, there is no result yet.

Gu Moming has always been the pillar of Guangyang Pass, he can't take care of Gong Jiuqing wholeheartedly, but he has never stopped contacting Yanyulou and sending personal guards to Guixiu to find the antidote.

Except for sleeping longer, Gong Jiuqing was alive and kicking as before.

On the eighth day, Gong Jiuqing felt that there was something wrong with her memory...

"You mean... your memory has deteriorated?" Xin Mufei asked curiously.

Gong Jiuqing nodded, looking at Gu Moming and the others sitting beside her. "Today, I can't even think of anyone I've met."

Xin Mufei took a deep breath, because he knew how abnormal Gong Jiuqing's memory was.Don't say I've seen it before, even if I just glanced at it, he still remembers it clearly. "No way, are you stupid?"

Gong Jiuqing frowned slightly, and said: "Now I suspect that I am not suffering from nightmares, but suffering from Soul Eater Gu."

Everyone was shocked, and then looked bewildered.

Gong Jiuqing explained: "This kind of Gu worm is a kind of parasitic Gu worm. If a person is infected by this kind of Gu worm, his head will be eaten up by the Gu worm, and then he will become a fool, and finally die unconsciously. .”

The crowd took a deep breath.

Gong Jiuqing went on to say: "I reckon they cast Nightmare Gu on me first, but seeing that it didn't work, they cast Soul Devouring Gu on me."

Xin Mufei asked eagerly: "Then what should I do? Do you want me to force it out with my true energy?"

Bai Xiaoxian said: "Since Mr. knows what Gu worms are, is there a way to deal with them?"

Gong Jiuqing nodded, then frowned and said: "This kind of Gu worm is very rare, and I also saw it from the book when I was in Guixiu. And even if the Gu worm is cultivated, the final result will not be perfect. It's as expected. Maybe I'm lucky, and I won the prize."

Xin Mufei clicked his tongue and said, "Say the key point."

Gong Jiuqing gave Xin Mufei a blank look, and then said: "This Gu worm is actually quite easy to deal with, as long as the temperature in my body continues to increase, I can kill it directly in my body."

Bai Xiaoxian frowned and said, "The temperature is rising?"

Xin Mufei patted his chest and said: "It's not easy. Master will find you a hot spring. If you soak in it for two days, all insects will die of heat."

Gu Moming said: "No, even if it's a hot spring, it's only the surface temperature."

Gong Jiuqing nodded and said, "Yes."

Chen Zhongwei said: "Then we will burn a lot of earth dragons in Mr.'s room."

Bai Xiaoxian said, "What's the difference between this and a hot spring?"

Xin Mufei said impatiently: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. Could it be that you just boil the water?"

Gong Jiuqing said: "I have already thought of a solution, but you have to prepare a doctor for me."

Bai Xiaoxian frowned slightly, and said, "Sir, are you going to let yourself catch a fever?"

Gong Jiuqing nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it."

Xin Mufei shook his head and said: "Don't worry about the bugs not being burned to death, what should you do if you burn yourself stupidly?"

Gong Jiuqing said angrily: "Can't you say something nice?"

Gu Moming stood up and said, "In that case, I will let the military doctor guard you by your side for twelve hours."

Gong Jiuqing nodded and said, "Please, General."

Xin Mufei murmured silently: Is this troublesome?When my grandfather was guarding you every day, I didn't see you being so polite.

But Xin Mufei didn't know how much Gu Moming envied him, the reason was that Gong Jiuqing was always so polite to him.

……

That night, Gong Jiuqing took a cold bath with the water just drawn from the deep well.And in this kind of weather, the water in the well water can be described as bitingly cold in the middle of the night.When she first entered the water, Gong Jiuqing felt as if thousands of ants were biting her body.

The so-called bone-piercing cold is probably just like that.

But Gong Jiuqing soaked for a full night, and Bai Xiaoxian kept changing him to the coldest cold water during this time.

So the second day...

Gong Jiuqing finally got his wish and got a fever. His whole body was covered in sweat, his face was flushed, and his breathing was short of breath.It makes people look worried.

According to Gong Jiuqing, if he gets hot all over, leave him alone and talk for half an hour.

But the doctors next to him all looked anxious, pacing back and forth in the room.Compared with Xin Mufei and Gu Moming who were standing next to them, they just stood there expressionless as if they couldn't feel Gong Jiuqing's pain.

Like two statues, they stared at Gong Jiuqing on the bed without blinking.

But the more stiff they are, the more anxious they are.

It was as if every breath of Gong Jiuqing affected theirs, if Gong Jiuqing's breathing stopped, then both of them stopped breathing too.

The timer on the desk case was dripping drop by drop, except for the military doctor's pacing and sighing, the sound of counting down the water droplets was the most ear-piercing.

When the last drop of water dripped, Xin Mufei and Gu Moming walked to Gong Jiuqing's bed in two steps like statues that had come to life.

"Gong Jiuqing, Gong Jiuqing, wake up, wake up."

"General, Hero Xin, hurry up, give me the medicine..."
