The sun was shining brightly. Gu Ling stood outside the cave and looked up at the sky.
At this time, Sheng Yue was already approaching the deepest part of the cave. His steps were getting lighter and slower, and he listened carefully to what was going on inside.
The white poisonous smoke is still floating in the air, but it has no effect on Sheng Yue. The previous truth-telling medicine has confirmed that Mo Yan is not invulnerable to all poisons, but can the poisonous smoke bring him down? Sheng Yue
unconfirmed.
Standing at the corner, Sheng Yue tentatively called out, "Master?"
Hearing no movement, Sheng Yue's eyes flashed slightly and he continued, "Is Master here? I can't use that magic weapon. Gu Ling's people are looking at the boat, and I can't leave. What happened before is all my fault.
Please forgive me, Master. Now Master needs a magic weapon, and I need Master to be my backer. Only the two of us can work together to solve the current predicament and capture Gu Ling. What do you think, Master?"
After waiting for a while, there was still no response. Sheng Yue then continued forward, took two more steps, and saw the water pool that he was very familiar with.
White smoke filled the air. Sheng Yue glanced around with alert eyes, but did not see the shadow of Mo Yan or Lao Mu.
Sheng Yue frowned. Did he make a mistake in his judgment? Mo Yan actually left here?
The next moment, the calm water surface suddenly fluctuated, and a long sword came out of the water and stabbed Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed and he dodged while drawing his sword to fight. He guessed right. Even after Mo Yan lost his magic weapon, he still refused to give up the journey and did not leave. After discovering that someone was putting poisonous smoke into the cave, Mo Yan hid.
Got into the water.
Sheng Yue was not worried that Mo Yan could kill him. The poisonous smoke in the cave was difficult to disperse. It was almost everywhere at the moment. It had no impact on Sheng Yue, but for Mo Yan, there was no safe place.
place.
And whether Mo Yan heard what Sheng Yue said just now or not, there is no longer any reconciliation between master and disciple, even if there is a possibility of superficial reconciliation and mutual use.
Because Sheng Yue saw Mo Yan's eyes filled with murderous intent towards him, his anger was like a volcano about to erupt, and he couldn't wait to devour him.
Sheng Yue walked outside, trying to delay time so that Mo Yan could take a few more breaths of the air in the cave before he collapsed.
But the next moment, Mo Yan's reason suddenly returned and he turned around and rushed towards the other side of the pool!
Sheng Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and rushed forward to stop Mo Yan. Because he knew very well what Mo Yan was looking for. Gu Ling's master Lao Mu must be behind the stone screen, and he must still be alive. That was in Mo Yan's hands.
The only life-saving charm left. But when Mo Yan discovered the poisonous smoke, he went into the water by himself. It was not easy to come out alive. It was impossible to take Lao Mu down with him.
The anger towards Sheng Yue prevented Mo Yan from seizing Lao Mu as a hostage immediately after he came out of the water. The chance to stand up was fleeting.
Sheng Yue entangled Mo Yan's footsteps, and Mo Yan tried to hold his breath at first, but he had already held his breath to the limit underwater. After landing ashore, he inevitably inhaled poisonous smoke, and as the fight continued, his breathing became even more uncontrollable.
at a very slow frequency.
Sheng Yue also knew all this. What Sheng Yue had to do was to prevent Mo Yan from getting any chance to make a comeback. Sheng Yue was very disappointed when he couldn't get the magic weapon. It's not too much to say that life is hopeless, but it doesn't mean
He wanted to die. And he had a dark history, and he was really worried that Gu Ling would kill him afterwards. Moreover, Sheng Yue has always been a person who either doesn't do anything, or tries his best to succeed if he does. Therefore, he needs this opportunity very much.
, try your best to capture Mo Yan, protect Lao Mu, and make a contribution in front of Gu Ling.
Mo Yan went crazy and used his last strength to kill Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue had some paint on his body, but it was not serious.
In fact, it didn't take long, because the poisonous smoke had a good effect, and Mo Yan finally fell into the pool while desperately rushing behind the stone screen.
Sheng Yue stood by the pool with a knife, looking at Mo Yan who was exhausted and about to sink after flopping in it twice, and said calmly, "Maybe this time you can get what you want and travel back to your so-called true world."
Do you want to try my home?"
After saying this, Sheng Yue ignored Mo Yan and walked around the pool to the back of the stone screen. Sure enough, he saw Lao Mu unconscious on the ground.
Sheng Yue put away the knife, pulled Lao Mu onto his back with one hand, and rushed out of the cave with him on his back. In the process, more blood oozed from the injury on his arm.
Gu Ling heard the footsteps and held the hilt of the sword. The next moment, she saw Sheng Yue rushing out of the cave filled with white smoke with a man on his back.
"Your master." Sheng Yue came out of the cave and put Lao Mu down. "Mo Yan is inside. He was poisoned by you and fell into the water. Go and have a look. He may drown soon."
Gu Ling looked indifferent, "Go and bring Mo Yan out alive, otherwise you will be buried with him."
Sheng Yue's expression froze. Indeed, the moment he rushed out of the cave, he had the idea to escape while Gu Ling was entering. After all, there were still risks around Gu Ling, and he might lose his freedom in the future.
But obviously, Gu Ling was very aware of Sheng Yue's little thoughts and didn't give him any chance at all.
Sheng Yue had nothing to say, knowing that Gu Ling would really do what he said, because Mo Yan's death might mean that the people he locked in the space would disappear forever, and half of this debt would be settled on him.
Gu Ling would only feel more comfortable if he killed him...
So, Sheng Yue immediately turned around and rushed back into the cave.
The water pool had returned to calm again. Sheng Yue frowned and jumped in directly.
This was not the first time Sheng Yue went down there, and he was familiar with the environment of the pool. He quickly found Mo Yan and dragged him back to the shore.
First he pushed Mo Yan up, then Sheng Yue climbed up, wiped the water on his face, and immediately went to check Mo Yan's breathing. Then his face changed, he was out of breath!
"Gu Ling! Gu! Come here quickly!" Sheng Yue shouted to the outside of the cave, turned Mo Yan over and started patting him on the back.
At this time, Gu Ling had already given Lao Mu the antidote. After making sure that he was fine, he entered the cave after hearing the sound. He also took the antidote and would not be knocked down by the poisonous smoke for a while.
Lao Mu initially fought against Mo Yan and suffered serious internal injuries. After he woke up, he was worried that Sheng Yue was cheating, so he stood up from the ground with a pale face and hurriedly entered the cave.
When Lao Mu reached the depths of the cave, Gu Ling was performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Mo Yan according to Su Liang's instructions.
Sheng Yue frowned and sat on the ground, soaked all over. Gu Ling's actions made him feel strange and familiar at the same time, because he had seen it done by his mother many years ago to save a drowning child. Later,
His mother also specially taught him how to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation, saying that it can save people at critical moments. Sheng Yue still remembers the essentials of the action, but he has never used it.
Sheng Yue would not suspect that Gu Ling was a time traveler because of this. He knew that this must have been taught by Su Liang. It was not surprising that Gu Ling knew any special skills and knowledge.
At this moment, Lao Mu didn't know what happened after he was captured. He thought that the magic weapon was still on Mo Yan, and Gu Ling saved him to let him go. But then he thought, something was wrong. If Mo Yan still had the magic weapon,
At that time, it was too easy to just capture him. There was no need to fight him, let alone hurt him and then put him in the cave.
Lao Mu immediately thought that the magic weapon must have been snatched away by Sheng Yue, and Sheng Yue was lying to him at that time!
As soon as Sheng Yue raised his head, he saw Old Mu's unkind eyes, and took the initiative to say, "I was wrong. But senior Mu, don't worry, the magic weapon is in Chengyun's hands now, and no one can do anything to your disciple."
Lao Mu snorted coldly, "I'll settle the score with you later!"
Mo Yan didn't wake up, but he came to life. He didn't wake up because of the poisonous smoke.
Gu Ling grabbed one of Mo Yan's arms and dragged him out from the ground. Lao Mu followed, and Sheng Yue walked at the end. He glanced at the pool again, shook his head, and looked away.
The air outside is very fresh, the sunshine is very warm, the greenery is abundant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. It is a completely different world from the dark and gloomy cave.
Sheng Yue went outside, took a deep breath, and exhaled it slowly. He looked up at the sky and saw several birds flying over his head. He inexplicably felt that something was different in his heart...
Gu Ling made sure that Mo Yan was breathing normally and did not give him any antidote. After leaving him behind, he went to see Lao Mu's injuries.
Lao Mu shook his head, "It's okay, I won't die, just take a rest. Business is important, so don't worry about me now."
Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "There's nothing particularly important now." He insisted that Lao Mu sit down on the big rock next to him and take his pulse.
Sheng Yue stood aside, watching this scene quietly, and suddenly thought of his father Pucheng. But all his memories of Pucheng were devoid of any tenderness.
Gu Ling spoke again, and it was to Sheng Yue, "Go and see the other people in the forbidden area, and make sure there won't be any more trouble." There was also a mute slave and a cook, who was definitely not a master.
"Kill?" Sheng Yue asked.
Gu Ling ignored it, and Sheng Yue turned around and left, asking for trouble. Of course he knew what to do to satisfy Gu Ling. At this moment, he also gave up the idea of escape. Now there was only one ship left, and Sheng Yue was not sure.
You can escape successfully by yourself.
Gu Ling checked Lao Mu's pulse, gave him some healing medicine, and told him everything that happened after Lao Mu was arrested.
Lao Mu frowned when he heard this, "Damn! Scumbags like Mo Yan can control the magic weapon, but you can't? What the hell is going on?" It was Qiu Cong who originally said this, and Lao Mu really couldn't bear it.
I can’t stop complaining.
Gu Ling shook his head, "That thing makes no sense."
Just when Lao Mu wanted to ask what to do next, Sheng Yue came over with the mute slave and the cook. The two of them followed him silently with their heads lowered.
"These two, Mo Yan mentioned before. When he was traveling in Qian Country many years ago, he ate a dish in a small shop that tasted very much like the one his lover made in his previous life, so he captured the couple who ran the small shop.
Serve him." Sheng Yue said.
The cook standing behind Sheng Yue burst into tears after hearing this, and dragged the mute slave to kneel on the ground and kowtow, "Please, let us go... We also have a son, we don't know whether he is dead or alive..."
Lao Mu sighed deeply and kicked Mo Yan in the heart, "How many evils has he committed!"
…
Cheng Yun and Feng Ming waited left and right, but Gu Ling didn't come back.
"Is there going to be any problem?" Chengyun was a little worried.
Feng Ming shook his head, "No. The prince is so cautious in doing things, and Sheng Yue can't make any trouble now."
"Then why don't you come back?" Chengyun looked outside and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Senior Mu!"
When Lao Mu entered the courtyard, Feng Ming saw that his expression was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support him.
"It's okay, I can leave by myself." Lao Mu shook his head, "Xiao Gu has already taken down Mo Yan. He said that for the sake of safety, don't let the magic weapon get close to Mo Yan. We will stay here."
The cook and his wife also followed Lao Mu. Lao Mu also accompanied them to pack some simple luggage and told them that it wouldn't take long before they could leave. At that time, someone would escort them back to their original home and help them.
They looked for the child. They thanked Lao Mu profusely and cried uncontrollably.
In order to calm down the cook and his wife, Lao Mu said that he would need to help them prepare meals before leaving. The cook and his wife nodded repeatedly, put down their luggage and went to the kitchen.
"Senior Mu, please lie down and take a rest." Feng Ming said to Lao Mu.
Lao Mu lay down and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Xiao Gu and the others are in the pavilion in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. Any of you can go there, but don't bring the magic weapon with you."
Cheng Yun and Feng Ming asked Lao Mu to rest. They went to the courtyard and decided to let Feng Ming go over to see the situation.
…
The curtains on all sides of the third floor of the Octagonal Pavilion have been hung up. Now there is no need to hide it.
With the unconscious Mo Yan lying on the ground, Sheng Yue asked Gu Ling again what his next plan was.
Gu Ling ignored Sheng Yue, first took out the antidote to the poisonous smoke and stuffed it into Mo Yan's mouth, and then took out another pill.
Sheng Yue recognized that the pill at the back was the truth-telling pill.
Seeing that Gu Ling also stuffed the truth pill into Mo Yan's mouth, Sheng Yue took the initiative to explain, "Actually, I secretly took half of the truth pill you gave me, and the rest was given to Mo Yan. Because I
I'm not sure if this medicine is useful for me, I'm afraid that you might use this medicine to easily see through my disguise later on." It turned out that the truth medicine was of no use to Sheng Yue, and he had no reaction after taking it.
Soon, Mo Yan on the ground opened his eyes.
Gu Ling asked the first question, "How many people are there in the space?"
Mo Yan answered unconsciously, "Eighteen..."
"Who are they?" Gu Ling asked.
Mo Yan replied, "Su Liang...and the people I met last time when I went out...that I didn't like..."
Sheng Yue frowned: Just make people disappear if you don't like it? This is indeed Mo Yan's style all along. Although he acted in secret that time, he had to eat and dress in the middle, so he would inevitably come into contact with people.
"Is there food and drinkable water inside?" Gu Ling asked.
Sheng Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing what Gu Ling was going to do next.
Mo Yan nodded slightly, "There is...a lot of food...water."
Gu Ling was not surprised that there was a lot of food inside. It was left over from the previous war.
"You don't need to send food inside. The people inside can live on their own for a long time and won't starve to death, right?" Gu Ling asked the key question he really wanted to know.
Under the influence of truth-telling medicine, Mo Yan nodded again, "Yes... he won't die..."
"What other treasures are there on Xingluo Island?" Gu Ling asked.
Mo Yan replied, "It's all in...space..."
Sheng Yue sighed with regret, "It's a pity that we can't open that space."
Mo Yan fell into coma again. Gu Ling stood up and heard Sheng Yue say, "If I guessed correctly, you plan to take Mo Yan and the magic weapon home with you and let your wife try it? Maybe, she can successfully own that space.
When the time comes, you can kill Mo Yan. If that doesn't work, you can find a way to control Mo Yan to open up space and let people go."
Gu Ling was noncommittal and looked in the direction of the forbidden area again.
Sheng Yue walked up to Gu Ling and said, "Are you going to blow up the forbidden area? In fact, I went down there once before and saw a white light. Does this mean that it is possible for me to travel through the past?"
Gu Ling nodded, "You reminded me, then go ahead and try it."
Sheng Yue's face froze, "Are you going to learn from Mo Yan?"
Gu Ling asked back, "Isn't it what you wanted to do? You still miss it now."
Sheng Yue shook his head, "I just said it casually. What about white light and black light? I just wanted to express my loyalty to Mo Yan. If time travel were so casual, now Xingluo Island would be full of time travellers. What is the road to time travel? After so many years.
I didn’t see anyone coming out of it. If we went down, we would be foolish enough to die. I said, I once told you that I wanted to see a new and different world, and that was correct, but what I was talking about was not time travel, but Mo Yan’s space magic weapon.
.From the beginning to the end, I am here for this thing. If you decide to blow up that pool, I can do it for you."
"No need." Gu Ling said, "There is another thing you need to do."
Sheng Yue asked what it was, and Gu Ling told him to cut down the trees, "We want to leave, but there are not enough boats."
Sheng Yue raised his broken forearm, "You've hurt me like this, and you still want me to do hard labor?"
"Otherwise I will blow you up with the forbidden area." Gu Ling looked calm.
When Feng Ming came, he heard this sentence, and then saw Sheng Yue's face turned ugly, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"
"I admire you for being able to swim to another place and land on your own," Gu Ling said.
Sheng Yue: Without a boat, you can't go anywhere. They are all mortal bodies. If you get into the water, you will be exhausted in a short time.
When Gu Ling saw Feng Ming coming over, he told him to put Mo Yan in the dungeon, and then went to cut down trees and build ships with Sheng Yue.
When Sheng Yue was about to leave, he turned back and asked Gu Ling, "Will you let me go?"
Gu Ling asked back, "What do you think?"
Sheng Yue followed Feng Ming with a dark face.
…
At dusk, the magnificent sunset glows red over the entire Xingluo Island sky.
Chengyun saw Gu Ling appear in his sight and immediately came up to him, "How is it?"
Gu Ling reached out and knocked on Chengyun's forehead, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. This was the first time he smiled since he left home.
Then, Chengyun heard two words that made him instantly happy, "Go home."
