Whether the human heart is true or false, you have come and tested me, and I have long been confused.
Yanjue said: "Your jealousy has blinded your heart."
She was indeed jealous of Mo Shuruo, jealous that she was still alive, and jealous that Xiang Jingyi liked her! So she couldn't see clearly that Xiang Jingyi had changed his mind long ago.
There was a sudden thunder, and the guard waiting outside the house lowered his head and held up a thick paper umbrella, holding it over Anal's head. She did not answer, but slowly stepped into the rain. Xiang Jingyi hurriedly chased out. His clothes were thin,
I didn't even bother to wear shoes.
If he doesn't agree or refuse, that's acquiescence. He can choose whether to follow or wait.
The heavy downpour soaked his thin coat, and his long dark hair was messy and stuck to his pale face. He looked at the figure not far away and followed quietly step by step.
As long as he can return to her, he will be willing to do so even if he has to die.
The reason why he got close to Ana'er at first was indeed because of Mo Shuruo, but the subsequent interactions gradually made his heart soften. Ana'er's heart was too strong, and she had no intention of surrender. The events she experienced
He didn't feel pity, he just felt distressed. So everything he did for her in the past month was sincere, without any deception.
As for him, as long as she is willing, whether she is Mo Shuruo or Ana'er, he will do his best to protect her.
There is only the end of April left, and summer has arrived unknowingly, but this rain is like ice and snow, chilling me to the bottom of my heart.
The guards held paper umbrellas and waited carefully, occasionally glancing at the barefoot man following far behind, but the purple-robed saint never even looked back.
The three of them walked all the way back to the Wahuang Palace from the village. When they met the guard, the guard holding the umbrella specially winked at them to tell them not to block the people who were following them.
Hou Jiajun resigned suddenly and came back in such a mess today. Everyone just thought that he had offended the saint. Naturally, no one dared to provoke him. They passed by him in the rain and pretended not to see him.
"You're back!" When he returned to the dormitory, Chi Tianlin came out happily and said strangely: "I just went out for a walk, but you disappeared!"
Anael looked gloomy, "Where have you been?"
"Look!" He held up a yellow leopard-print cat with both hands and said excitedly: "I finally caught it, can you give it to you to play with?"
Ana'er looked at the cat's expression of despair and shook his head helplessly. The two of them were about the same age, but Chi Tianlin was just a playful teenager in her teens. It was only her fault that she became sensible too early. Her naivety made her
Never tried it.
"Go back to the house and rest." She was tired, no matter what, let's talk about it tomorrow.
"What about him?" Chi Tianlin noticed Xiang Jingyi still standing in the rain, "What about him?"
Ana'er didn't even stop, and coldly said four words, "Don't worry about him."
After all, Xiang Jingyi is a man who has practiced martial arts, and he will not fall down in the rain. Chi Tianlin got him some clean clothes, folded his hands and leaned behind the screen, "You made her angry."
Xiang Jingyi sat quietly in the bathtub, filled with hot air, and his complexion slowly recovered. Hearing Chi Tianlin ask this, he felt a little sad, "It would be better if I was really angry..." It was because he couldn't see through her change.
For unreasonable reasons, I don’t know how to ask for forgiveness.
"Do you want my help?" The reason why I said this was because I noticed Anael's abnormality. "She has been very nervous recently, and her mind is full of thoughts about the butterfly blood Gu. If you let her do it again,
Annoying, I won’t allow it.”
"There are some things that others can't help with..." Xiang Jingyi exhaled and leaned back on the tub, "Protect her well."
"Hey!" Chi Tianlin crossed his arms with disdain on his face, "One or two people asked me to protect her. If you don't tell me, why don't I do it? If you can't do it yourself, you still boss me around in a self-righteous manner! Shu Ruo is
Oh my, you guys should stay away as soon as possible!" After saying this, he stormed out the door.
Xiang Jingyi frowned and closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Anael fell into a drowsy sleep until noon the next day. The wind and rain outside had just stopped, the sun was shining brightly, and the fragrance of the earth was very pleasant.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Help me stop it!" Chi Tianlin rushed out of the corner chasing the yellow cat, shouting as he ran: "Don't run away, you little wild cat, let me catch you or not grill you!"
"He held the railing with one hand, jumped from the corridor into the garden, and ran after the yellow cat.
The cat jumped directly into Ana'er's arms. Facing Chi Tianlin's fierce grasping hand, she turned around and blocked him, "You scared it."
Putting down his hands, he took a few breaths and said in surprise: "This little wildcat boy refuses to listen to me for any reason. He actually likes you very much."
"Oh, really?" Anal looked proud, "I guess it's because you don't look good enough?"
"..." He didn't know what to say and waved his hand, "That's all, why should I care about it!"
"Meow~" Under her gentle scratching, the yellow cat meowed comfortably and rubbed her hand affectionately.
Anael liked it and asked, "What is it called?"
"It doesn't have a name yet. How about giving it a name? Let me think about what it's called!" He touched his chin and frowned with a thoughtful expression. "Seeing as it has such a round waist and thick shoulders, it must be
I often steal food from other people’s houses, so I’ll just call it a rice pail.”
"Meow!" The yellow cat protested, nestled in Anael's arms and bared its teeth at him.
Raising his hand and stroking its back to calm it down, Ana'er chuckled softly, "I'm afraid you are just a loser. You have nothing to do all day long, so you only know how to bully small animals!"
"How can I not!" He rolled up his sleeves, revealing two fresh scratches, and said angrily: "Look, if it hadn't scratched me, why would I have been chasing it?"
"Deserves it!" Ana'er shrugged at him, tilted his head and looked at the yellow cat and smiled, "Let's leave this fool alone."
Chi Tianlin thrust his waist and roared at her back: "I'm not a fool!"
＊＊＊
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiao Yinchang was acquitted. Anal Yanjue and the two teamed up, but in the end they still failed to find out the whereabouts of the butterfly blood Gu.
After rummaging through the ancient city, they almost had to lift up the ground, but Fang Baimei seemed to have disappeared. No matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find it. Just in case something unexpected happened, Yan Jue wrote a letter to Fei Ge, telling him about the butterfly blood poison in Northern Xinjiang.
When it reaches Feihua Valley, after all, Fang Baimei will definitely deal with Yun Chuxiu as soon as she gets the butterfly blood Gu.
Perhaps because he was afraid of being caught again, Jiao Yinchang turned out to be surprisingly honest after he was released from prison. He stayed at Zhurong Temple every day and behaved much more restrainedly, making it difficult for people to find fault. Ana'er couldn't guess what his intentions were.
Yin Sa had too much time to take care of himself, and was still debating whether to be a faggot or wait to catch the fishermen. Yuhua Fuxiang's body was extremely weak, and Yanjue had no time to care about Beijiang's affairs.
The next few days were like walking on thin ice, which made people irritated. Until one afternoon, someone came to report that a strange dead body had appeared on the outskirts of the ancient city of Para.
Ana'er took Chi Tianlin to the location of the dead body. The accompanying witch doctor lowered his head and reported, "This man died tragically. His flesh and blood dried up within half an hour. It must have been caused by poison."
"What kind of poison can make people die in such a terrible way!" Chi Tianlin grabbed half of Anal's sleeves and hid behind her, "The people in your place are too perverted!"
Ana'er frowned and said nothing. She was wondering if this matter might have something to do with the butterfly blood Gu.
Butterfly blood Gu is just a white egg at the beginning. It will be slowly hatched when it is placed in raw blood. When it turns into a larvae, it needs to absorb nutrients, so the Gu breeder will put it on the dead body and let it swallow it. Last time, thousands of people
The corpses brought back from the bat cave were the remains after eating the butterfly blood Gu. Although the two corpses were in somewhat similar states, they were not the same. The skin of the corpse eaten by the larvae looked as if it had been burned and the wounds were all broken.
The piles were piled up, with the center being the most serious. As for the one in front of me, the skin and flesh were all shriveled up, and even the muscle tissue was eaten away.
One is an external injury and the other is an internal injury.
After thinking for a long time and unable to come up with a reason, Anal continued to ask the witch doctor, "Have you found the place of death?"
The witch doctor shook his head, "We have sent people to check the area, but there is no news yet."
Anal turned around and ordered the leader of the guards nearby, "Tell someone to carry the body back. Also, don't let this matter get out."
The guard lowered his head and said, "Yes."
She was about to leave when Chi Tianlin suddenly saw something and ran into the grass excitedly. She walked over and asked strangely: "What are you doing?"
Chi Tianlin squatted there, picked up something and showed it to her, "Look, what a beautiful butterfly!"
Ana was so frightened that his eyes widened. He slapped him and knocked the butterfly out of his hand. He pulled him up, grabbed his robe and tried his best to wipe his hands. He scolded: "The animals and plants in northern Xinjiang are all gone."
It’s not a good thing. The more beautiful it is, the more poisonous it is. Have you ever grown a brain?”
"Ah..." He looked confused, "Is it like this? But what if I want to give you all the beautiful things..."
She covered her forehead, unable to complain about his kindness, "That's it, no running around, no touching anything again!"
Seeing her serious look, he didn't dare to make trouble again and said obediently: "I know!"
"Glass bottle." Anal stretched out his hand, and the guard behind him immediately handed over a small crystal clear bottle. He opened the lid, put the still-dead butterfly in it, and handed it to the guard again, "Take it back."
"yes."
She turned and left, naturally someone would take care of the things behind her. She tilted her head and asked the witch doctor beside her, "What will the butterfly blood Gu look like once it breaks out of its cocoon?"
"Butterfly Blood Gu?" The witch doctor frowned and thought for a moment, "After the Butterfly Blood Gu emerges from its cocoon, the adults are very ordinary butterflies during the day. They have different colors but strange patterns."
"How strange?" Chi Tianlin's head popped up and he grabbed Anal's robe and refused to let go. Thinking of the dead body, he asked in horror: "Can it eat people?"
The witch doctor shook his head, "The adult insects are not harmful during the day. Only at night, the patterns on their bodies will turn blood red like the meridians. After the feathers fall off, the wings will also change from different colors to black. At that time,
They have reached the point of death.”
"I see." Chi Tianlin touched his chin and said as he walked: "Just like a poisonous bee, once its tail needle is lost, it will die."
The witch doctor nodded, "Yes, that's the principle. Butterfly Blood Gu's weapon for killing people is these feather powder."
Ana'er said: "What will happen to a person who encounters an adult insect molting its feathers when it dies?"
"There are many different states of death!" the witch doctor said slowly, "because of the different methods of raising the larvae, the effect of the feather powder will also be obviously different. Some larvae are raised in flesh and blood, and some are raised in blood.
Soak it out and add other nutrients in the middle, and there will be a difference. When the feather powder sticks to the skin, it will only make people itchy and painful, but if it is more severe, it will directly cause the skin to ulcerate. So you have to tell me a specific death.
There is no such thing as law."
In other words, this kind of death caused by depletion of flesh and blood may also be a type of butterfly blood Gu that no one has ever seen. Speaking more closely, the butterfly blood Gu has already emerged as an adult worm that has broken out of its cocoon!
Except for the butterfly blood Gu, there are no other suspicious things that have appeared in recent times.
"Intensify your search during the day and find the habitat of the poison as soon as possible!"
Anael didn't have much time left, and there was no way he could wait any longer.
