Chapter 50: Practicing or not practicing, being half-human or half-ghost is better than being dead.

“What happened?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Weichen should have started this matter a few days ago, but your majesty has been in poor health, so I thought about leaving it to local officials to deal with it, but I didn’t expect the matter to get worse.” Tao Rende said worriedly, “In this city, it seems that someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost, trying to disturb the holy driver.”
Chu Yuan frowned when he heard the words, and Duan Bai Yue was also behind the screen, remembering what he heard the people chatting in the noodle shop this morning.
Dare to be a ghost?
“A few days ago, a fisherman was strangely killed in Yunde City, and his death was very tragic.” Tao Rende said, “In order to avoid panic among the people, local officials have not announced the matter to the public but have been secretly investigating. It’s just that before the results were found out, another person was killed last night. It is said that it was a well-known punk in the city named Zhou Da. The situation at the time of the death and the condition of the corpse were exactly the same as that of the butcher a few days ago, naked and with bulging eyes, with black palm prints on his chest.”
Duan Bai Yue was taken aback.
“It doesn’t sound like ordinary money-making and murder. I’m afraid it won’t work if it’s only handed over to local officials.” Chu Yuan shook his head, “Dali Temple is also here, let them check it out.”
“Yes.” Tao Rende took the order.
“Since there is chaos in the city, the rest of the people should be more careful.” Chu Yuan said, “It’s not haunted early, and it’s not haunted late. But when I came, something happened. No one knows whether the other party’s purpose is the people or the palace.”
“Weichen understands.” Tao Rende said, “I will go to the commander to discuss later.”
Chu Yuan nodded, and after he stepped back, he turned his head and asked, “What do you think?”
“For the sake of the gods who can protect you and me, I am willing to give up three points, but the ghosts never believe it.” Duan Bai Yue came out from behind the screen, “And the deaths of those two people sounded a bit similar to Lan Ji’s white bone claws.”
Chu Yuan frowned: “Is she really not dead?”
“It’s also my fault.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Don’t worry, I won’t throw this mess to the local government.”
“How could it be your fault.” Chu Yuan shook his head, “The leader of TianSha sect is not you.”
“But if it’s really Lan Ji, it’s my fault that I was too careless to kill her.” Duan Bai Yue said, “That witch’s kung fu is extremely evil, even if she is the leader, I’m afraid she can’t stop a few tricks.”
Chu Yuan frowned.
“Just leave it to me.” Duan Bai Yue patted him on the shoulder, “I promise, I will never let her harm the people.”
“In addition to the people, there are you.” Chu Yuan said, “Don’t get hurt.”
Duan Bai Yue smiled: “Okay.”
“Do you want me to do anything?” Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Bai Yue leaned his face close to him.
Chu Yuan: “……”
“Just do this one thing.” Duan Bai Yue urged; his voice very gentle.
Chu Yuan pinched his chin, turned around gently, closed his eyes and kissed his lips.
The summer breeze outside the window was a rare moment of tranquility between the two of them.
Before leaving the palace, Duan Bai Yue went to the remote courtyard first.
The old man was still playing chess, with candy beside him, which had melted a little due to the hot weather during the day.
“You have something to do again.” Hearing the voice, the old man slowly raised his head.
“It’s okay, just come and see the senior.” Duan Bai Yue said, “If senior doesn’t like being disturbed, I’ll just go.”
“Can you play chess?” The old man asked.
Duan Bai Yue sat opposite him and said, “No.”
The old man shook his head: “Since you can’t, why sit down again.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “A few days ago, thanks to the senior’s reminder, my beloved was able to take out Yueming Gu, and I haven’t even come to say thank you.”
“Beloved one.” The old man smiled, “It turned out to be love, when do you plan to get married?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “I never thought about it.”
“If you haven’t thought about it, then think about it faster.” The old man used his fingers to dip some of the side of the dumpling sugar, put in his mouth a bit, “Do not be like me, exhausting the youthful years before waking up, but even if you woke up, you have long been unable to find that person of the year.”
Duan Bai Yue nodded, “Thank you senior for your teachings.”
“Can I borrow a XuanMei sword to have a look?” The old man asked again.
“Naturally.” Duan Bai Yue took off his sword and handed it over.
The old man slowly rubbed the mottled sword and asked, “Where did you find it?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “It was a gift from my teacher.”
“Then this teacher of yours is really good.” The old man said, “How many people kowtow to their masters for hundreds of times, but at the end of the day, they will only take a sword forged by the Sword Worshiping Villa. Just this sword is good, if you and it is not destined, but also can not open the edge, a waste of money.”
Duan Bai Yue said: “How to be called destiny?”
The old man said, “Your master didn’t tell you?”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head.
The old man asked again: “Then your master, what does it have to do with Old Immortal Han Ming?”
Duan Bai Yue replied: “I have never heard my master mention this person.”
The old man pondered for a moment and said, “Then your master’s sword, I’m afraid it was stolen.”
Duan Bai Yue: “…”
This is really possible.
The old man shook his wrist, tried his pulse, and said, “Even if this sword is stolen and can be held by you, it’s not a bargain.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Thank you for your compliment.”
“If you have suffered internal injuries, beware of being injured by sword qi in the future.” The old man let go of his hand, “And the gold silk thread in your heart, don’t want to find a way to take it out, do you plan to eat and drink well for a lifetime?”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “The senior is really a peerless person.”
The old man raised his eyelids, “I thought you were going to ask where you can find the antidote.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Fei Main?”
The old man said, “If this golden silkworm thread can’t be solved, don’t delay your sweetheart. Getting married for seven or eight years at most, and the days and nights to come are long, how can a person survive.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “I will find a way to live longer.”
The old man sighed when he heard the words, and slowly stood up holding the table: “That’s it, go back.”
“Senior.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Recently, there have been monsters making trouble in this city, so please be more careful.”
The old man paused, frowned and said, “monster?”
Duan Bai Yue said: “I will secretly send someone to protect the village where Granny Feng is located.”
The old man nodded and continued to stagger back into the room.
The night is as silent as water.
There is a pagoda in Yunde City. According to legend, it was built to suppress demons. Hundreds of years have passed, and it has long been mottled, and people have to take a detour when they pass by, for fear that they will be smashed if they fall one day. The government did not dare to dismantle it easily, for fear of releasing evil and filth, so it could only be fenced off with a wooden fence for the time being, intending to wait for the weather to cool down, and then invite monks and carpenters from Wangcheng to repair it again. Duan Bai yue jumped to the top of the tower and had a panoramic view of the city.
Now that the haunted matter has been reported to the emperor, there is no need to continue to hide it. The government posted the list in the afternoon, and the people were all nervous after reading it. They all went back to their rooms before it was dark, and the streets were full of patrolling officers and soldiers, with torches, and the sky was half red.
Duan Yao squatted beside him silently.
Duan Bai Yue frowned: “What are you doing here?”
Duan Yao said: “Naturally it is to help.”
Duan Bai Yue said: “There is not one shadow yet, and there is no clue. It’s almost the same as making trouble.”
Then stay too. Duan Yao held his face in both hands and said, “Master asked me to come and said what if the golden silkworm thread in your body wakes up and dies outside.”
Duan Bai Yue twitched the corners of his mouth: “When you return to the southwest this time, you and Master will go to Master Wang to learn some poems and songs. Maybe you can talk less annoyingly.”
Duan Yao curled his lips, continued to yawn, looked down and said, “This Yunde City is not small. It’s not easy to find someone, let alone such a big fanfare.”
Duan Bai Yue said: “At least it can also act as a deterrent and reassure the people. As for the people behind the chaos, naturally, you can’t just look for it like this.”
Duan Yao asked, “What are your plans?”
Duan Bai Yue said: “If it is really Lan Ji, then the person she hates most now is me.”
“But those ministers in the court don’t see how much they love you either.” Duan Yao reminds, “If you release the news that you are in Yunde City, I’m afraid that before Lan Ji shows up, Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zheng will go crazy first.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “What does Lan Ji want most?”
Duan Yao thought for a moment, “The Bodhi Sutra?”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Duan Yao said, “So?”
“I am the only one who has practiced the Bodhi Sutra in the whole world.” Duan Bai Yue said, “If the ministers in the court don’t know about it, it’s impossible that Lan Ji doesn’t know about it.”
Duan Yao seemed to understand, “Uh-huh.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “But there are too many people in Yunde City, so if there is a real fight, the people will inevitably get hurt, so we need to find a more remote place.”
Duan Yao reminded, “When a person who practiced compulsion is revived from the dead, his power will increase greatly, this is a trade-off for his life expectancy, so ordinary people can’t compare.”
Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Are you worried that I would lose?”
Duan Yao said, “Counting the days, the Golden Silkworm Thread should wake up in a few months, even Master is worried about it, and it’s just at this time that something goes wrong.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “No matter.”
Duan Yao’s chest was stuffy: “No harm done?” I don’t know who was the one who was half dead and spitting blood last time.
Duan Bai Yue said: “I have made a mistake, so I have to find a way to fix it, and it has nothing to do with when the silk threads are released.
Duan Yao sighed from the bottom of his heart, what about life, don’t you want it?
Duan Bai Yue jumped off the town demon Tower and skimmed the roof all the way, his figure instantly hidden in the darkness.
In the bedroom, Chu Yuan hadn’t rested yet, and was leaning on the bathtub to get out of his mind.
Duan Bai Yue pushed the window in.
Chu Yuan was a little surprised.
Duan Bai Yue frowned: “Looking at the candlelight from a distance, why haven’t you rested yet?”
Chu Yuan said, “When you don’t come back tonight.”
“There are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city. If the person who pretends to be a ghost dares to come out again, he will really see a ghost.” Duan Bai Yue took a handkerchief from one side and wiped the drops of water from his face for him, “But I have a way to lure her to show up.”
“What?” Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Bai Yue said: “Lan Ji wanted the Bodhi Sutra the most before, but now she should want my life the most. Speaking of it, it is all related to Xinan Mansion.”
Chu Yuan sat up a little and said, “So what? Is it possible that you still have to swagger across the street to lead her out?”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, “It’s okay.”
“Whether it’s useful or not, let’s try it first.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Master also sneaked into the mansion to see the wounds on the two corpses. Nine out of ten are Lan Ji.”
Chu Yuan said, “You have to be careful too.”
Duan Bai Yue held his hand: “Naturally, I have to be careful, not only to be careful, but also to live a long life.”
Chu Yuan smiled and said, “Hmm.”
“Will you go to bed first?” Duan Bai Yue asked, “When I came here earlier, I saw that there were still figures moving in the master’s courtyard, so I went to him and spoke. After that I will come to you again.”
Chu Yuan nodded, his chin resting on the edge of the bathtub, and watched him leave the palace.
Nan Moxie was really gnawing roast chicken in the courtyard.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master really has a good appetite.”
Nan Moxie said: “I have nothing else to do, and I can’t rest assured of you and Yao-er, so I have to buy a roast chicken to eat.”
Duan Bai Yue put the sword on the table: “Where did it come from?”
“Where else can it come from?” Nan Moxie spit out the bones, “It was stolen.”
Sure enough. Duan Bai Yue was not surprised by this answer.
“This is much better than the cloud splitting knife.” Nan Moxie said, “The sword of your Duan family also looks at the prestige. This Xuan Ming is an ancient thing. If it is placed in Jianghu, it can be on par with Qin Shao Yu’s Red Shadow Sword. Take it back quickly.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “There is one more thing.”
Nan Moxie asked, “What?”
Duan Bai Yue said: “Regarding Tianchen sand, I have to find it anyway.”
“Isn’t this nonsense, it’s a matter of life and death.” Nan Moxie said, “But I’m not in a hurry at this moment. Depending on your pulse, you can live for seven or eight years without saying anything. There is plenty of time to find it slowly.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Unless I find Tianchen sand, I won’t get married.”
Nan Moxie wiped his oily hands on his packet and shook his head: “It’s as if you want to achieve it.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “Apart from Fei Mian Country, where else can there be such a thing?”
Nan Moxie said, “It is not certain whether the Fei Mian Kingdom has it or not, let alone somewhere else. I told you a long time ago, you can’t rush, you have to take your time to find it.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “I’m in a hurry.”
“Now you know you’re in a hurry.” Nan Mo Xie pulled off a chicken claw, “If you are in a hurry, you have to go back to the southwest first.”
“I don’t want to hide it from the Master, the Golden Silkworm Thread seems to be waking up again.” Duan Bai Yue said.
“What?” Nan Mo Xie was shocked, dropped the chicken in his hand and went forward, a hold of his hand, after a moment of testing, frowned and said, “should not be this time, a few months in advance?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “The Eight Desolate Array has been lifted, and the barrier outside Fei Mian Kingdom has been broken. If I were to be poisoned at this time, I’m afraid that in less than a month’s time, Chu’s army would be pressed against the Southern Ocean.”
Nan Mo Xie said, “That sounds really touching.”
Duan Bai Yue sighed: “Since the Eight Deserts Formation was solved, various armies have been mobilizing their troops from the south to the north, and he thinks I don’t know, but I can’t pretend I don’t know.”
“After all these years, how many things have you done, why can’t you let him be capricious for you too?” Nan Mo Xie loosened his hand and pulled his sleeve to wipe the oil marks on his wrist.
Duan Bai Yue said, “I don’t have a kingdom behind me, so any more capriciousness is nothing more than a life, but if he is capricious, it is a life of destruction, and it is also a thousand years in the books.”
“It’s not that serious.” Nan Mo Xie shook his head repeatedly, “I’ve said this every time, don’t scare yourself.”
“Fei Mian is located in the deep south ocean, and has been silent for many years, separated from Chu by more than ten small islands, no one knows what’s really up there.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Although there are a lot of troops in Da Chu, most of them are only good at land battles, and the only navy is all pressed in the East China Sea to guard against the Japanese and sea bandits. If we really go to war with the South China Sea, not to mention whether the East China Sea troops will be weakened, and not to mention what the other islands in the South China Sea will think, just a small Fei Mian country, if we can’t win the war, it’s a useless loss of troops and generals, and if we win, it’s an invasion of another country for no reason at all, and it’s a waste of troops to rob a small island that’s a long way away from the country of Chu, and you can’t eat, dress or look at it. Therefore, regardless of the outcome of this battle, at the moment Chu declared war, in fact, has already lost.”
Nan Mo Xie choked and said, “If you can think of it, the others can naturally think of it as well. That sweetheart of yours is an emperor, how would he put himself in such a situation just to grab the Tianchen Sand for you?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “He will.”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
“He definitely will.” Duan Bai Yue repeated, “That’s why I asked for master’s help.”
“How else can I help you? You refuse to take the Harmony Compassion.” Nan Mo Xie complained, “If you suffer less, you can live for two more years.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “No one knows what Tianchen sand looks like.”
Nan Mo Xie asked, “Then what?”
“If the Golden Silkworm Thread stays dormant and doesn’t wake up, then forget about it. If it wakes up, Master will send someone to go outside and come back to look for something, saying that it’s Tianchen Sand.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Don’t let him meddle in this matter again.”
“Even if the randomly found medicine blows through the sky, it won’t cure you.” Nan Mo Xie’s heart was stuffed.
Duan Bai Yue said, “If it can’t be cured, then you can say that Tianchen sand is useless, and at least he won’t think of fighting the Fei Mian Kingdom again.”
“If we don’t fight the Fei Mian Kingdom, where will we get the Tianchen Sand?” Nan Mo Xie circled around him, “Think carefully, if you make such a mess, you can’t expect the court to help find it in the future.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “More than a year ago, Xiao Yuan wrote a personalized letter to the Lord of Fei Mian, what is the result?”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
“There is no news whatsoever and the stone is sunk into the sea, which means that the other party is not willing to help at all, since this is the case, the name of the imperial court should not be of any use.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Why bother to make things difficult for him again.”
“After all, you still don’t want to part with it.” Nan Mo Xie shook his head, “The rest is fine, but this matter concerns your life, what if you can’t find the antidote and die?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master’s words are really straightforward.”
Nan Mo Xie weighed the words and said, “Driving the crane to the west.”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “Master can live even after being buried for two years, so I might be able to try too.”
“Try my ass, the Bodhi Sutra is just to heal the wound last time, only barely practiced two moves, and still want to be able to live.” Nan Mo Xie said, “That’s fine, Tianchen sand will think of another way, but this Bodhi Sutra, you must continue to practice, not only those pages, but from beginning to end of the nine hundred and eighty-one strokes, not a single stroke can be omitted.”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “Practicing so that you are half human and half ghost?”
“Half human, half ghost is better than being dead.” Nan Mo Xie is a slap in the face, “The golden silkworm thread has begun to agitate, there is no room for discussion on this matter, otherwise I will go and tell your sweetheart that you are not able to raise your Yang root, it is better to split up before it’s too late.”
Duan Bai Yue: “……”
Hmm?
After chatting with Nan Mo Xie for a long time, Duan Bai Yue returned to the next bedroom, Chu Yuan was still awake and was leaning on the bed, hearing him enter the door, he turned his head to look at him.
Duan Bai Yue said, “I had a few more conversations with my master, so I came back late.”
“What are you talking about?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Nothing much.” Duan Bai Yue sat on the edge of the bed, “It’s just that in the next few days, I might have to go into seclusion for a few days.”
“Huh?” Chu Yuan frowned, “Again because of the Golden Silkworm Thread?”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Chu Yuan said, “The last seizure was not this month.”
“After all, compulsion is a living thing, waking up a few days early or a few days late is not a big deal.” Duan Bai Yue said, “As long as it continues to wake up once a year, it won’t matter.”
“Would it be better if you retreat as soon as possible?” Chu Yuan asked again. Thinking of the last time he was in Huantian city, his life was not as good as death, he still felt a little palpitation.
“Naturally, last time it was because I forced myself to run my kung fu during the compulsion, this time I won’t do anything, as soon as the Gold Silkworm Thread wakes up, I will immediately go to the secret room to run my kung fu to heal my injuries, and there is a Master, there will be no accidents.”
“Is it only Senior Nan?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Hmm?” Duan Bai Yue was puzzled.
Chu Yuan said: “As you said a few days ago, the mysterious old man in the palace sounds like he has a lot of identity, and it’s not certain that he might be able to help.”
“That senior did see at a glance that I was poisoned, but he didn’t say that he wanted to detoxify me.” Duan Bai Yue said, “There should be nothing you can do.”
“I haven’t even asked; how can I know that there is nothing I can do.” Chu Yuan said, “I’ll try it tomorrow.””
Duan Bai Yue said: “Senior doesn’t seem to like being disturbed.”
Chu Yuan shook his head: “It’s not a good thing that the golden silkworm line has an attack. If that senior refuses or won’t, it’s a different matter, but at least you have to ask first.”
Duan Bai Yue held his shoulders, “If you have to ask, I will go look for it again.”
Chu Yuan looked at him, “Do you have something to hide from me?”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “There are a lot of things that I am hiding from you, if I report every single one of them, I am afraid that I will have to talk about them until next year. The southwestern border of the various things, nine out of ten are written for Lord Taifu to see, as for the truth is how, I know you do not want to see, and there is no need to see.”
Chu Yuan locked eyes with him.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Huh?”
Chu Yuan opened his mouth and called, ” Si Xi.”
Duan Bai Yue: “……”
Eunuch Si Xi jogged all the way in and said with a big smile, “Your Majesty.”
Chu Yuan said, “Send Xinan Wang out.”
Si Xi: “……”

“What happened?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Weichen should have started this matter a few days ago, but your majesty has been in poor health, so I thought about leaving it to local officials to deal with it, but I didn’t expect the matter to get worse.” Tao Rende said worriedly, “In this city, it seems that someone is deliberately pretending to be a ghost, trying to disturb the holy driver.”

“Yes.” Tao Rende took the order.
“Since there is chaos in the city, the rest of the people should be more careful.” Chu Yuan said, “It’s not haunted early, and it’s not haunted late. But when I came, something happened. No one knows whether the other party’s purpose is the people or the palace.”
“Weichen understands.” Tao Rende said, “I will go to the commander to discuss later.”
Chu Yuan nodded, and after he stepped back, he turned his head and asked, “What do you think?”

Chu Yuan frowned.
“Just leave it to me.” Duan Bai Yue patted him on the shoulder, “I promise, I will never let her harm the people.”
“In addition to the people, there are you.” Chu Yuan said, “Don’t get hurt.”
Duan Bai Yue smiled: “Okay.”
“Do you want me to do anything?” Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Bai Yue leaned his face close to him.

“Can you play chess?” The old man asked.
Duan Bai Yue sat opposite him and said, “No.”
The old man shook his head: “Since you can’t, why sit down again.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “A few days ago, thanks to the senior’s reminder, my beloved was able to take out Yueming Gu, and I haven’t even come to say thank you.”
“Beloved one.” The old man smiled, “It turned out to be love, when do you plan to get married?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “I never thought about it.”
“If you haven’t thought about it, then think about it faster.” The old man used his fingers to dip some of the side of the dumpling sugar, put in his mouth a bit, “Do not be like me, exhausting the youthful years before waking up, but even if you woke up, you have long been unable to find that person of the year.”

Duan Yao asked, “What are your plans?”
Duan Bai Yue said: “If it is really Lan Ji, then the person she hates most now is me.”
“But those ministers in the court don’t see how much they love you either.” Duan Yao reminds, “If you release the news that you are in Yunde City, I’m afraid that before Lan Ji shows up, Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zheng will go crazy first.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “What does Lan Ji want most?”
Duan Yao thought for a moment, “The Bodhi Sutra?”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Duan Yao said, “So?”
“I am the only one who has practiced the Bodhi Sutra in the whole world.” Duan Bai Yue said, “If the ministers in the court don’t know about it, it’s impossible that Lan Ji doesn’t know about it.”
Duan Yao seemed to understand, “Uh-huh.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “But there are too many people in Yunde City, so if there is a real fight, the people will inevitably get hurt, so we need to find a more remote place.”
Duan Yao reminded, “When a person who practiced compulsion is revived from the dead, his power will increase greatly, this is a trade-off for his life expectancy, so ordinary people can’t compare.”
Duan Bai Yue smiled, “Are you worried that I would lose?”
Duan Yao said, “Counting the days, the Golden Silkworm Thread should wake up in a few months, even Master is worried about it, and it’s just at this time that something goes wrong.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “No matter.”
Duan Yao’s chest was stuffy: “No harm done?” I don’t know who was the one who was half dead and spitting blood last time.
Duan Bai Yue said: “I have made a mistake, so I have to find a way to fix it, and it has nothing to do with when the silk threads are released.
Duan Yao sighed from the bottom of his heart, what about life, don’t you want it?
Duan Bai Yue jumped off the town demon Tower and skimmed the roof all the way, his figure instantly hidden in the darkness.
In the bedroom, Chu Yuan hadn’t rested yet, and was leaning on the bathtub to get out of his mind.
Duan Bai Yue pushed the window in.
Chu Yuan was a little surprised.
Duan Bai Yue frowned: “Looking at the candlelight from a distance, why haven’t you rested yet?”
Chu Yuan said, “When you don’t come back tonight.”
“There are officers and soldiers everywhere in the city. If the person who pretends to be a ghost dares to come out again, he will really see a ghost.” Duan Bai Yue took a handkerchief from one side and wiped the drops of water from his face for him, “But I have a way to lure her to show up.”
“What?” Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Bai Yue said: “Lan Ji wanted the Bodhi Sutra the most before, but now she should want my life the most. Speaking of it, it is all related to Xinan Mansion.”
Chu Yuan sat up a little and said, “So what? Is it possible that you still have to swagger across the street to lead her out?”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Chu Yuan thought for a while and said, “It’s okay.”
“Whether it’s useful or not, let’s try it first.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Master also sneaked into the mansion to see the wounds on the two corpses. Nine out of ten are Lan Ji.”
Chu Yuan said, “You have to be careful too.”
Duan Bai Yue held his hand: “Naturally, I have to be careful, not only to be careful, but also to live a long life.”
Chu Yuan smiled and said, “Hmm.”
“Will you go to bed first?” Duan Bai Yue asked, “When I came here earlier, I saw that there were still figures moving in the master’s courtyard, so I went to him and spoke. After that I will come to you again.”
Chu Yuan nodded, his chin resting on the edge of the bathtub, and watched him leave the palace.
Nan Moxie was really gnawing roast chicken in the courtyard.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master really has a good appetite.”
Nan Moxie said: “I have nothing else to do, and I can’t rest assured of you and Yao-er, so I have to buy a roast chicken to eat.”
Duan Bai Yue put the sword on the table: “Where did it come from?”
“Where else can it come from?” Nan Moxie spit out the bones, “It was stolen.”
Sure enough. Duan Bai Yue was not surprised by this answer.
“This is much better than the cloud splitting knife.” Nan Moxie said, “The sword of your Duan family also looks at the prestige. This Xuan Ming is an ancient thing. If it is placed in Jianghu, it can be on par with Qin Shao Yu’s Red Shadow Sword. Take it back quickly.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “There is one more thing.”
Nan Moxie asked, “What?”
Duan Bai Yue said: “Regarding Tianchen sand, I have to find it anyway.”
“Isn’t this nonsense, it’s a matter of life and death.” Nan Moxie said, “But I’m not in a hurry at this moment. Depending on your pulse, you can live for seven or eight years without saying anything. There is plenty of time to find it slowly.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Unless I find Tianchen sand, I won’t get married.”
Nan Moxie wiped his oily hands on his packet and shook his head: “It’s as if you want to achieve it.”
Duan Bai Yue asked, “Apart from Fei Mian Country, where else can there be such a thing?”
Nan Moxie said, “It is not certain whether the Fei Mian Kingdom has it or not, let alone somewhere else. I told you a long time ago, you can’t rush, you have to take your time to find it.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “I’m in a hurry.”
“Now you know you’re in a hurry.” Nan Mo Xie pulled off a chicken claw, “If you are in a hurry, you have to go back to the southwest first.”
“I don’t want to hide it from the Master, the Golden Silkworm Thread seems to be waking up again.” Duan Bai Yue said.
“What?” Nan Mo Xie was shocked, dropped the chicken in his hand and went forward, a hold of his hand, after a moment of testing, frowned and said, “should not be this time, a few months in advance?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “The Eight Desolate Array has been lifted, and the barrier outside Fei Mian Kingdom has been broken. If I were to be poisoned at this time, I’m afraid that in less than a month’s time, Chu’s army would be pressed against the Southern Ocean.”
Nan Mo Xie said, “That sounds really touching.”
Duan Bai Yue sighed: “Since the Eight Deserts Formation was solved, various armies have been mobilizing their troops from the south to the north, and he thinks I don’t know, but I can’t pretend I don’t know.”
“After all these years, how many things have you done, why can’t you let him be capricious for you too?” Nan Mo Xie loosened his hand and pulled his sleeve to wipe the oil marks on his wrist.
Duan Bai Yue said, “I don’t have a kingdom behind me, so any more capriciousness is nothing more than a life, but if he is capricious, it is a life of destruction, and it is also a thousand years in the books.”
“It’s not that serious.” Nan Mo Xie shook his head repeatedly, “I’ve said this every time, don’t scare yourself.”
“Fei Mian is located in the deep south ocean, and has been silent for many years, separated from Chu by more than ten small islands, no one knows what’s really up there.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Although there are a lot of troops in Da Chu, most of them are only good at land battles, and the only navy is all pressed in the East China Sea to guard against the Japanese and sea bandits. If we really go to war with the South China Sea, not to mention whether the East China Sea troops will be weakened, and not to mention what the other islands in the South China Sea will think, just a small Fei Mian country, if we can’t win the war, it’s a useless loss of troops and generals, and if we win, it’s an invasion of another country for no reason at all, and it’s a waste of troops to rob a small island that’s a long way away from the country of Chu, and you can’t eat, dress or look at it. Therefore, regardless of the outcome of this battle, at the moment Chu declared war, in fact, has already lost.”
Nan Mo Xie choked and said, “If you can think of it, the others can naturally think of it as well. That sweetheart of yours is an emperor, how would he put himself in such a situation just to grab the Tianchen Sand for you?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “He will.”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
“He definitely will.” Duan Bai Yue repeated, “That’s why I asked for master’s help.”
“How else can I help you? You refuse to take the Harmony Compassion.” Nan Mo Xie complained, “If you suffer less, you can live for two more years.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “No one knows what Tianchen sand looks like.”
Nan Mo Xie asked, “Then what?”
“If the Golden Silkworm Thread stays dormant and doesn’t wake up, then forget about it. If it wakes up, Master will send someone to go outside and come back to look for something, saying that it’s Tianchen Sand.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Don’t let him meddle in this matter again.”
“Even if the randomly found medicine blows through the sky, it won’t cure you.” Nan Mo Xie’s heart was stuffed.
Duan Bai Yue said, “If it can’t be cured, then you can say that Tianchen sand is useless, and at least he won’t think of fighting the Fei Mian Kingdom again.”
“If we don’t fight the Fei Mian Kingdom, where will we get the Tianchen Sand?” Nan Mo Xie circled around him, “Think carefully, if you make such a mess, you can’t expect the court to help find it in the future.”
Duan Bai Yue said, “More than a year ago, Xiao Yuan wrote a personalized letter to the Lord of Fei Mian, what is the result?”
Nan Mo Xie: “……”
“There is no news whatsoever and the stone is sunk into the sea, which means that the other party is not willing to help at all, since this is the case, the name of the imperial court should not be of any use.” Duan Bai Yue said, “Why bother to make things difficult for him again.”
“After all, you still don’t want to part with it.” Nan Mo Xie shook his head, “The rest is fine, but this matter concerns your life, what if you can’t find the antidote and die?”
Duan Bai Yue said, “Master’s words are really straightforward.”
Nan Mo Xie weighed the words and said, “Driving the crane to the west.”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “Master can live even after being buried for two years, so I might be able to try too.”
“Try my ass, the Bodhi Sutra is just to heal the wound last time, only barely practiced two moves, and still want to be able to live.” Nan Mo Xie said, “That’s fine, Tianchen sand will think of another way, but this Bodhi Sutra, you must continue to practice, not only those pages, but from beginning to end of the nine hundred and eighty-one strokes, not a single stroke can be omitted.”
Duan Bai Yue shook his head, “Practicing so that you are half human and half ghost?”
“Half human, half ghost is better than being dead.” Nan Mo Xie is a slap in the face, “The golden silkworm thread has begun to agitate, there is no room for discussion on this matter, otherwise I will go and tell your sweetheart that you are not able to raise your Yang root, it is better to split up before it’s too late.”
Duan Bai Yue: “……”
Hmm?
After chatting with Nan Mo Xie for a long time, Duan Bai Yue returned to the next bedroom, Chu Yuan was still awake and was leaning on the bed, hearing him enter the door, he turned his head to look at him.
Duan Bai Yue said, “I had a few more conversations with my master, so I came back late.”
“What are you talking about?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Nothing much.” Duan Bai Yue sat on the edge of the bed, “It’s just that in the next few days, I might have to go into seclusion for a few days.”
“Huh?” Chu Yuan frowned, “Again because of the Golden Silkworm Thread?”
Duan Bai Yue nodded.
Chu Yuan said, “The last seizure was not this month.”
“After all, compulsion is a living thing, waking up a few days early or a few days late is not a big deal.” Duan Bai Yue said, “As long as it continues to wake up once a year, it won’t matter.”
“Would it be better if you retreat as soon as possible?” Chu Yuan asked again. Thinking of the last time he was in Huantian city, his life was not as good as death, he still felt a little palpitation.
“Naturally, last time it was because I forced myself to run my kung fu during the compulsion, this time I won’t do anything, as soon as the Gold Silkworm Thread wakes up, I will immediately go to the secret room to run my kung fu to heal my injuries, and there is a Master, there will be no accidents.”
“Is it only Senior Nan?” Chu Yuan asked.
“Hmm?” Duan Bai Yue was puzzled.
Chu Yuan said: “As you said a few days ago, the mysterious old man in the palace sounds like he has a lot of identity, and it’s not certain that he might be able to help.”
“That senior did see at a glance that I was poisoned, but he didn’t say that he wanted to detoxify me.” Duan Bai Yue said, “There should be nothing you can do.”
“I haven’t even asked; how can I know that there is nothing I can do.” Chu Yuan said, “I’ll try it tomorrow.””
Duan Bai Yue said: “Senior doesn’t seem to like being disturbed.”
Chu Yuan shook his head: “It’s not a good thing that the golden silkworm line has an attack. If that senior refuses or won’t, it’s a different matter, but at least you have to ask first.”
Duan Bai Yue held his shoulders, “If you have to ask, I will go look for it again.”
Chu Yuan looked at him, “Do you have something to hide from me?”
Duan Bai Yue laughed: “There are a lot of things that I am hiding from you, if I report every single one of them, I am afraid that I will have to talk about them until next year. The southwestern border of the various things, nine out of ten are written for Lord Taifu to see, as for the truth is how, I know you do not want to see, and there is no need to see.”
Chu Yuan locked eyes with him.
Duan Bai Yue said, “Huh?”
Chu Yuan opened his mouth and called, ” Si Xi.”
Duan Bai Yue: “……”
Eunuch Si Xi jogged all the way in and said with a big smile, “Your Majesty.”
Chu Yuan said, “Send Xinan Wang out.”
Si Xi: “……”
