Everything in this back mountain seems to be different from other places. The swamp will not give up until it swallows its life. And the temperature of the hot spring is too high for a servant. After a while, the man's skin was already red from the heat, and gradually
The fine red sand floated up from where it was, and moved closer to him little by little. It adhered to his skin, not letting go of any trace.
In the end, I saw a red human-shaped thing leaning in the hot spring. Only the head could still see its original appearance. Those red particles like fine sand were adsorbed on his body and pierced his tiny pores.
traces, sucking the blood from his body.
They are so tiny that you can't even see the tiny lips. They suck blood very slowly, but they bite you bit by bit, making you feel pain like needle pricks. But the pain will continue without them.
, his life will not continue.
After completing the most painful task of the day, the sky was already darkening. The man stood up from the hot spring, shook off the red sand-like substance on his body, and stood up to get dressed.
While walking back, he picked up some firewood. He didn't need warmth, but Mo Jinran in the cave needed it very much. When he entered the cave, Mo Jinran had already woken up, and Jin Pei illuminated the cave as bright as day.
The temperature is also much higher than usual.
"Are you awake?" he asked in a hoarse voice, looking at the heartbroken Mo Jinran.
Mo Jinran raised his head and met the man's eyes, with an expression of disbelief on his face. "Master?"
Master Mo Xing nodded. He really didn't expect that the extremely charming and beautiful man was now gray-haired. He seemed to have aged a hundred years. If it weren't for those charming eyes, it would be difficult for Mo Jinran to recognize him. His face
His face is now full of wrinkles, like an old man who will die in the next moment.
"Are you really my master?" Mo Jinran still couldn't believe that the young master who always laughed with her would become like this.
A smile appeared on the man's face with difficulty: "Disciple, isn't it ugly to be a master like this?"
Mo Jinran shook her head. Yan Ye's departure and the changes in Master Mo Xing were all a big blow to her. She didn't understand why things turned out like this and why they had to suffer such pain. "No,
Master, you are not ugly! In fact, I am the real ugly..."
In order to appease Master Mo Xing, Mo Jinran did not hesitate to expose his face in front of him, and pulled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his appearance of neither human nor ghost.
Master Mo Xing did not expect that Mo Jinran would become like this. Apart from being shocked, he also slowly felt heartache. "Disciple, how did this happen?"
Mo Jinran had no need to hide anything from Master Mo Xing, and told the whole story, including her relationship with Yan Ye, and their cold and indifferent friendship! She didn't hide anything from Master Mo Xing, and her master was also the same.
Her confidant, her "father" who had kissed her, she also needed an outlet to vent, otherwise, she was afraid that she would really not be able to hold on.
Master Mo Xing listened to Mo Jinran's statement in silence. He was shocked. Unexpectedly, Mo Jinran's love for Yan Ye was already so deep without knowing it. He didn't know that he chose Yan Ye as Mo Jinran.
The husband-in-law is not wrong, but there is no more suitable candidate than him.
The desertion and indifference were a surprise to him. He had never known the existence of these two people, but when he heard that their name was His Highness Mo Jinran, he knew that they also had to complete a certain mission.
And he remembered the name Lengqing, the person who originally presented the Tianshan Snow Lotus to Mo Jinran. Maybe he was more suitable for his apprentice!
"Disciple, you have such a face that the master will find a way!" Master Mo Xing said as he looked at Mo Jinran's face.
Mo Jinran shook his head. This seems to be unimportant now. "It doesn't matter, master! I don't care anymore. Can you tell me how you became like this?"
Master Mo Xing took a deep breath and said, "It's poison! This poison consumed all the essence in my body to suppress it. Now I have to absorb the poison in my body every day to survive."
"What poison is so powerful? Is there a way to detoxify it?" Mo Jinran thought of the Thirteenth Princess. It was her poison that made the master behave like this. He really hated her so much that he shouldn't have let her go like that that day.
Even if her life experience is exposed, she still wants to avenge her master, but...the people in General Mo's house...she doesn't know what she should do!
"No solution yet!"
"Does Master know the person who poisoned me?"
Master Mo Xing shook his head. He always felt that the poison was very familiar to him, but he could not cure it, so he thought of a way to suppress it. However, he could not figure out who poisoned it.
"Master, have you known the Thirteenth Princess before?" Mo Jinran felt that the matter was very complicated, but he couldn't find any clue.
Master Mo Xing still shook his head. He had never known that woman before!
"When we were marching a few days ago, the Thirteenth Princess broke into the camp alone at night just to ask my master how he was doing. She said that she was the one who poisoned her. But the master didn't know her and had no enmity with her. She
Why is this so?" Mo Jinran really couldn't figure it out. Master Mo Xing couldn't figure it out either, he just felt that there was something he had forgotten.
"Master, why don't you go find her and find out, maybe there will be a way to detoxify." Mo Jinran couldn't help but suggested. Looking at the appearance of the Thirteenth Princess, she didn't want the master to really die, but her purpose was
What? Why does she target herself everywhere?
But Master Mo Xing laughed: "Since she poisoned me, even if there is a way to detoxify, how can she cure it? That's all, just live for a day!" Master Mo Xing felt that he was very tired, and his age
He is not young anymore. After living for so many years, he has long since become an old goblin in the eyes of others. And his mission to live is the woman in front of him, his apprentice. Other than that, he doesn't know why he still wants to live.
"Master, how can you think so?" Mo Jinran didn't understand when his master began to regard life as so insignificant.
The only thing left for Master Mo Xing was to sigh, because he could no longer hold on to the life he was living without humans or ghosts. The violent coughing he had every day when the poison struck made his whole body tremble, and his throat and lungs were shaking.
It has begun to break down. Soon, it will become useless. And the pain of thousands of needle stings when the blood sand sucks blood every day is also unbearable for him. Every nerve in his body is frightened by it. He wonders if he has lived for a hundred years.
He had never experienced such pain in a long time. He wanted to continue to hold on, but he really couldn't continue.
He was already very relieved to see Mo Jinran before he died. His pain for this apprentice was not in vain. After he died, it was good that there was still someone in the world who cared about him.
