Mr. Shang crossed his arms across his chest with an expression that said, "I'm very unhappy."
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Bai Ling would have laughed out loud.
But he didn't dare to laugh, Bai Ling still lay on Shangguan Yu's shoulder, smiling silently.
After Bai Ling sat up, she saw Mr. Shang staring at her, his beard puffy.
"Master is right, the emperor is not just a child in front of you! He is disrespectful to the master, and the master should not help him." Bai Ling put on an expression of complete agreement, as if she was laughing at the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, not Shang.
old.
Sure enough, Mr. Shang bought it and immediately became proud.
"Mr. Shang, do you know what poison the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty asked you to make?" Shangguan Yu asked.
If we don't get to the point, someone outside might notice something is wrong and break in.
Even though Bai Ling has space, it is still dangerous if he comes here often.
"It's a kind of medicine that can instantly strengthen people's bodies. It's not entirely correct to say it's poison, but what the emperor said was that as long as the effect is achieved, there is no need to worry about the consequences. That clearly means disregarding human life.
How can I do it?" Mr. Shang's expression became serious.
Shangguan Yu and Bai Ling looked at each other and naturally thought of the medicine man.
"Master, when I came here last time, I told you that the medicine practiced in the underground palace under the Medicine King Valley is this kind. However, anyone who uses the medicine will become unconscious and become a walking zombie from then on."
"Fortunately, my disciple has made an antidote and found a way to control the medicine man."
Bai Ling's tone was also very heavy. After taking a deep breath, he stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Shang.
"Good disciple, what are you doing?" Mr. Shang helped him hurriedly.
"Master, I'm sorry. Because the poison requires an extremely hard-to-find medicine, and the medicine will only be effective if it is planted on the corpses of past valley owners, so the apprentice destroyed the bodies of past ancestors without the permission of the master.
That's very disrespectful!" Bai Ling apologized sincerely.
The action taken at that time was a last resort.
But to the ancients, this was overwhelming hatred.
Compared to digging up people's ancestral graves, Bai Ling's method was even more extraordinary, not even leaving any corpses behind.
Hearing this, Mr. Shang remained silent and just looked at Bai Ling intently, which made Bai Ling feel even more apologetic.
Shangguan Yu pulled Bai Ling to his side and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Shang, Ling'er had no choice at the time. As long as there was a second option, she would never make any arbitrary decisions..."
"No need to say any more." Mr. Shang raised his hand to stop Shangguan Yu's unspoken words, "I understand what you mean."
"Master, can you forgive your disciple?" Bai Ling asked in a low voice, obviously lacking in confidence.
After traveling through time, Bai Ling felt like a sinner for the first time.
Even if that decision was correct, Bai Ling still felt very guilty.
Maybe if she waits and thinks again, she can find another solution.
"When you made the decision, was it because you wanted Yaowang Valley to not be restrained by bad people and to prevent all the disciples from being put in danger?" Elder Shang asked.
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded and said honestly: "This is the reason, but I also want to completely eliminate Yaoyin. Maybe there will be no more poisonous incidents and the people will not be in ruins. This is also in line with Yaowang.
The rules of the valley.”
"You have a good idea. If you were to become a teacher, you would have no choice but to do that." Elder Shang sighed, "Actually, all the Valley Masters in the past generations have their last words to destroy the corpses of their ancestors. But every Valley Master has...
Because of family ties and blood, I can’t bear to do it.”
"So, you just did what we should do but didn't dare to do. What's wrong?"
"Master, don't you blame me?" Bai Ling was still unsure.
"The one who is at fault is my teacher and the past valley owners." Mr. Shang shook his head, "If one of us had that kind of courage, perhaps there wouldn't be so many innocent people dying in vain."
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that what Mr. Shang said was true.
"Master, we have been secretly investigating, fearing that the mastermind behind the scenes is raising Yaoyin elsewhere. But for so long, we have found nothing. Perhaps it is the unique geographical environment of Yaowang Valley that is very suitable for the growth of ice worms. But I think it must be
There are other places where ice worms can be raised, so the poisonous plan will not be terminated." Bai Ling said worriedly.
"I will find a way to investigate this matter. For the time being, you can gather your forces back and protect the people around you." Mr. Shang frowned, looking more than ten years older in an instant, "The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty asked me to make the medicine.
, I think it’s because of that recipe that I came up with the idea.”
"It seems that the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty was also very ambitious. He was afraid that the world would be in chaos." Bai Ling held Shangguan Yu's hand and frowned.
Shangguan Yu's expression was also very heavy.
After guarding the border for so many years, no one knows better than Shangguan Yu what war means.
Especially in this kind of unfair war, more people will die.
"Then let's fight!" Shangguan Yu held Bai Ling's hand firmly and said coldly: "The situation is beyond our control. We can only be prepared to fight. When that day comes, we will die together with the enemy at worst!"
"Yeah." Bai Ling nodded, knowing that this was also the worst plan.
"Since you are here, I will pretend to promise the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and maybe I can get more useful information." Mr. Shang said, stroking his beard.
"But wouldn't this put Master in danger?" Bai Ling asked in surprise.
"Are you still afraid of danger at your age as a teacher?" Shang Lao smiled silently and said to Bai Ling: "You are the young master of the valley, and I entrust the Yaowang Valley to you as a teacher. No matter what happens in the future, don't let Yao
The king's valley was destroyed in the hands of the master, otherwise I would really have no face to see my ancestors."
"Then master, just live a good life. I'm so busy and I like to make money. I'm afraid that I can't protect the Yaowang Valley well." Bai Ling choked.
"Silly girl, master, there is always a hundred years left, can you still live like an old goblin?" Although Mr. Shang had an impatient expression on his face, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
"I don't care. Anyway, master wants to go back to Yaowang Valley with me, otherwise I will disband Yaowang Valley and no longer care about the disciples' affairs." Bai Ling said shamelessly.
Understanding that Bai Ling was worried about him, Shang Laohuai said happily: "Master likes freedom in this life, so he has never been transferred. The most correct thing to do is to accept you as his apprentice."
Mr. Shang smiled and waved, telling the two of them to leave quickly, while he carried the wine bottle and got into bed.
Bai Ling deliberately said a few words, telling Mr. Shang to take care of himself, but Shangguan Yu took him behind the bed.
When he arrived at the space, he hugged Bai Ling into his arms and Shangguan Yu sighed softly: "Mr. Shang's mood must be very complicated. Let him calm down for a while."
"I know, but I just can't worry about his old man." Bai Ling sighed heavily, hugged Shangguan Yu's tight waist, and whispered: "Shangguan, actually I know that the master will not blame me, so I know that he knows the truth.
I felt sad, but I did it anyway.”
"As Mr. Shang said, you just did something they couldn't bear to do. There may be a more balanced solution. But in an emergency, you can only act according to authority." Shangguan Yu reassured.
"You are all so worried about my feelings and can't bear to blame me. Aren't you afraid of letting me become lawless?" Bai Ling raised his head and asked.
"Then you can be lawless. If the sky falls, my husband will bear it for you. If you can't bear it anymore, we will hide in space and be a pair of happy gods, busy having children." Shangguan Yu said seriously.
.
"It's a beautiful idea. Although the space is nice, I prefer the colorful world outside." Bai Ling kicked the dirt on the ground and said with a longing expression, not noticing the wolfish light in Shangguan Yu's eyes. (To be continued)
