The high priest looked down at the broken bell in Xiao Chengyi's hand. He reached out and picked it up, inspected it and said, "This Tongxin Gu is dead."
"died?"
Xiao Chengyi frowned and asked: "Why did you die?"
The high priest replied: "If the other one dies, this one will naturally die too."
Xiao Chengyi was full of doubts. Yan Yan used the Tongxin Gu to send messages to him today. Why did the Tongxin Gu suddenly die?
Just as he was puzzled, he heard the high priest say: "It is also possible that the owner of the other Gu is dead. This Tongxin Gu and their master share the same fate."
"impossible!"
Xiao Chengyi blurted out, shaking his head and saying: "No, that's not the case, my Yan Yan will not die."
His heart was in a mess, but he couldn't calm down. In the middle of the night, the Tongxin Bell suddenly sent out a signal for help. There was no one else but Yan Yan.
What happened to her?
Xiao Chengyi closed his eyes, then looked at the high priest and said: "Prepare the fastest horse for me, I want to go back."
The high priest raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but he heard Xiao Chengyi's cold and stern voice, saying word for word: "Let me go, otherwise I won't mind a bloodbath in your priest's house."
The high priest could tell that Xiao Chengyi was definitely serious. He said in a deep voice to the people outside: "Come here, prepare two fast horses to send the regent away from the capital."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengyi turned around and hurried out.
After he left, the high priest looked again at the Tongxin Gu left behind by Xiao Chengyi. This Tongxin Gu was different from other Gus in that they did not need to be nourished with blood, only the mutual understanding between men and women.
If one Gu insect dies, the other will die as well. If their master dies, they will not survive either.
The high priest didn't know how the Gu worm died, but seeing Xiao Chengyi's reaction that something had happened to his beloved, he sighed and poked the dead Gu worm with his hand: "It's so pitiful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the Gu insect seemed to move.
The high priest was a little surprised. He got closer and looked at it carefully, and finally exclaimed in disbelief: "It's still alive? It's interesting."
He took an empty bottle, put away the Gu insect, and murmured: "I wonder what kind of girl Xiao Chengyi fell in love with?"
He suddenly wanted to see her!
...
Nanyue.
A hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and Shen Wanyue finally returned to the inn before dawn.
However, she was still late, everyone at the inn was already awake, and she bumped into Yuan Shuolin when she entered.
When Yuan Shuolin saw her, he hurried over to greet her and asked nervously: "Where have you been?"
When he woke up, he learned that Mu Yun'an was missing. He was planning to take someone to look for her, but he didn't expect that she would come back.
Shen Wanyue was a little flustered, but she soon calmed down and secretly told herself that she was Mu Yun'an. She lowered her eyes and imitated Mu Yun'an's tone of voice and said: "I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk.
"
Yuan Shuolin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought you went back to Shengjing City alone. I know you are worried about Xiao Chengyi, but Xiao Jue said that he will not be in any danger, so you have to relax and don't be impulsive.
do you know?"
When Shen Wanyue heard what he said, it seemed like something had happened to Xiao Chengyi? She turned her eyes and quickly had an idea in her mind.
