A man was riding on a horse as fast as lightning on the yellow sand road.
The man on the horse was about twenty years old. He was extremely handsome, but his handsome face was filled with depression, sadness, and regret.
Needless to say, the man who had been traveling day and night was Nangong Wujiu, and his target was the Phoenix Palace.
Ever since the tragic death of Little Wuji outside the Wu Kingdom's Imperial City, Chu Fengyi had become a completely different person.
She didn't speak, laugh, eat, drink, or sleep. She either hugged her son's corpse all day long or took a pile of medicine for Little Wuji to eat, as if doing so would bring Little Wuji back to life.
But was it possible? Could that little life that had already disappeared come back?
Of course, it was impossible. No matter how good one's medical skills were or how high one's martial arts were, they could not warm up a body that was already cold and save a little life that was already far away.
Naturally, Chu Fengyi knew about it. So on the third day, she carried Little Wuji to an empty plot of land in the back garden of the Yun family's residence. She stared at the muddy ground that was covered with grass.
Nangong Wujiu looked at her, his heart filled with love, regret, and hatred. The pain and suffering of the past few days had made him, who was still in his youth, feel as if he had aged ten years.
"Feng 'er, what do you want to do?" he asked hoarsely.”
Chu Fengyi lowered her head and looked at her son's innocent face that seemed to be in deep sleep. Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible as she said,""I want to find a place for Fearless to have a good sleep.”
Nangong Wujiu nodded," You want Wuji to sleep here?”
"Yes!"
"Alright, wait a moment. I'll get someone to prepare.”
"No, I want to do it myself. Fearless was afraid of the cold and there were too many people so he wanted to do it himself.”Chu Fengyi squatted down and placed Little Wuji on the ground. Then, she took off her outer coat and wrapped it around him. "Wuji, this is mother's clothes. It is your favorite piece of clothing. Now, mother will help you put it on so that you won't feel cold.”After saying that, she started digging the soil for her beloved son, doing the last thing she could for him.
Nangong Wujiu blinked his eyes and held back the tears that were about to fall. He squatted on the ground and dug the soil.
Chu Fengyi did not say anything, did not refuse. He just quietly dug the soil and placed his son into the small coffin. Then, he quietly placed his son into the hole and covered it with soil.
Then, she raised her head." Wujiu, go find a tombstone. I want to write my own inscription.”
Nangong Wujiu nodded and turned around to buy a good tombstone in the city.
When he returned to the Yun family with the tombstone, Chu Fengyi was nowhere to be seen. There was a small tombstone on the new pile of dirt, and the inscription was "!
My beloved son Wuji's tomb
The person who erected the stele, Zhu Tian of Dunhuang, Chu Feng Yi
Nangong Wujiu kneeled down in front of the tombstone while trembling. His slightly trembling fingers lightly touched the words written on the tombstone.
There was no last name, only a first name, no time, no father's name, only a sad letter from his mother, and a few simple words: " My beloved son Wuji."
What did this mean? Did she already think that Fearless wasn't his son? Could it be that she had sent him away so that he would not write the inscription on the tombstone, so that she could…leave?
Yes, it was! Chu Fengyi left just like that! She didn't leave Nangong Wujiu with a single word, nor did she question him with any dissatisfaction. She didn't even blame him. She quietly buried her son and disappeared, returning to the legendary mysterious and noble Phoenix Palace in Dunhuang.
Nangong Wujiu's heart ached at the thought of Chu Fengyi leaving him quietly.
He bought a few horses and set off overnight. He didn't eat, drink, or sleep. He rushed day and night just to get back the only woman he loved in his life.
That's right! She was the only person he loved, yet he had hurt her so deeply that she didn't even say a word. She went back to Dunhuang alone with her heart full of sadness.
How could he let her go back to Dunhuang alone? How could he let her return to the Feng Palace with her heart full of questions? He had to explain, he had to get her forgiveness, he couldn't let her live in regret for the rest of her life. Because he loved her, and he never wanted to hurt her!
Nangong Wujiu thought as he ran. At this time, the huge Buddha Cave in Dunhuang was already in front of him, and he finally returned to this place that used to be his warm home.
When he was still some distance away from the Buddha's Cave, he jumped off his horse and used his lightness skill to hurry. When he reached the Buddha's Cave, he realized that there was a figure waiting for him in front of the Buddha's Cave.
He was delighted and rushed forward, but he realized that it was not Chu Fengyi. It was Chu Fengyi's fifth brother, Chu Yufeng of Haotian.
Chu Yufeng was only 17 years old at that time, but he was already handsome and handsome. One could imagine that he would be a charming man in the future.
Chu Yufeng opened his arms and blocked Nangong Wujiu's path." You can only go this far. If you go any further, Big Sister won't allow you to go any further."”
Nangong Wujiu grabbed Chu Yufeng's shoulder and said excitedly,""Yufeng, where is she? I want to see her."
Chu Yufeng shook his head." Big Sis won't see you! If she wanted to see you, why would she ask me to wait for you here?”
"She…she doesn't want to see me? Did she say it herself?"
"More than that? She swore it in front of us eight brothers and sisters, as well as the heavenly daughter and the heavenly son. This is her oath, or rather, her love letter for you. Take it and read it!”
Nangong Wujiu's hands trembled as he took the thin letter. He opened it and saw a lock of hair tied with silk. On it was a familiar and elegant handwriting!!
I'll never see you again. Only the phoenix can continue our friendship.
Nangong Wujiu raised his head." This is?”
" Big Sister swore three vows in front of all of us," Chu Yufeng said." She will never see you again, never leave the palace, and never show her true face to anyone." Big Sister also said that she was a man of her words and was not lying. If you really want to see her, then bring the nine pieces of the Nine Phoenix Ring over. That way, she might see you for the sake of the Nine Phoenix Ring. Otherwise, just treat her as dead and completely forget about her!”
Nangong Wujiu couldn't help but tremble, as if he was in the Land of Cold Ice and Snow. He stared at the letter and her hair in a daze. After a long time, a burst of wild laughter full of pain and enthusiasm burst out of his mouth. Forget her? She wants me to forget her? I love her! I love her with all my life and strength, and she wants me to forget her? Hahaha, I won't forget, I won't forget her. I want to see her, I must see her!”
Nangong Wujiu charged forward as if he had gone mad. He used to live here, and he was the person who was most familiar with this place besides the Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang, so how could Chu Yufeng stop him?
At this moment, three other figures slowly walked out of the cave. They were Chu Nanfeng, Chu Yunxuan, and Zhuge Rongruo.
Zhuge Rongruo said lightly," There's no need to go. Even if you go, it's a waste of effort. Because Feng 'er has already activated the array. This array is unbreakable except for the Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang and me." So you should go back! If she says she doesn't want to see you, then she doesn't want to see you. No one can change her mind.”
Nangong Wujiu laughed out loud." Activate the array? Even if I die in the array, I want to see her!”
Chu Yufeng quickly pulled him back." Don't force yourself! You know that Second Brother and Third Brother have always had a grudge against you. Now that this has happened, they hate you to the bone. So if you let the two of them join hands and Zhuge Rongruo urge the formation from the side, you might really die here, do you know that?”
Nangong Wujiu didn't care at all. His only son was dead, and the woman he loved the most misunderstood him so deeply that she even abandoned him because of it. What was the point of living alone in this world?
"So be it if I die," he said sadly."Do you think I'm afraid of death?”
Chu Yufeng shook his head." It's not like that! Let me ask you, do you still want to see Big Sister?”
"Of course I do. I have so many things to say to her.”
"Since that's the case, then live on and think of a way to obtain the nine pieces of the Nine Phoenix Ring.”
"But who doesn't know that the Nine Phoenix Ring is something that your Dunhuang Nine Phoenix carries with it? And one of them is with your sister. How can I get it? She's clearly…" He was angry and anxious. In the end, he choked up and could not continue.
Chu Yufeng smiled, put his arm around his shoulder, and walked out. "A solution is something that people think of. As smart and calm as you are, how can you not think of a solution? Go back. I'll visit you at Xiang Xuehai when I'm free and tell you about my sister."”
Nangong Wujiu looked at Chu Yufeng for a while and finally nodded." Okay, I'll listen to you and go back first. But I want you to tell Feng 'er that since she was the one who proposed the conditions, don't blame me for doing whatever it takes to achieve my goal."”
"I know, go ahead!"
Nangong Wujiu turned his head back and looked at the place where Chu Fengyi was and where he had lived for five years. Here, he spent the happiest days of his life. He had a wife and a son here, but he had also lost them here.
However, it did not matter. He would see her again. No matter what price he had to pay, no matter what methods he had to use, he would definitely obtain the nine pieces of the Nine Phoenix Ring. Then, he would see her again. He would see the only woman he had ever loved, the one he would love forever, Chu Fengyi.
Nangong Wujiu thought that he was dead for sure! It would be strange if he didn't fall and shatter his bones after jumping down from such a high cliff!
However, there were only so many strange things in the world. He did jump down from the cliff, but he did not die. Not only did he not die, he was not even injured at all. He only fell into the lake and got wet.
Nangong Wujiu didn't know how long he had been lying in the lake. He only knew that it was daytime, and the sunlight was very strong, making him a little hot. However, the lake water under him was also cool, making him want to laugh.
He lay on the surface of the water, allowing the lake water to float around him. His eyes stared straight at the cliff for a long time. Then, he thought of Chu Fengyi.
He didn't die? What about her? Where was she? Could it be that he fell and shattered his bones?
Thinking that Chu Fengyi might fall and be smashed into pieces, Nangong Wujiu could not stay still for even a moment. He quickly turned around and looked for Chu Fengyi's figure on the lake.
Not long after, he saw Chu Fengyi's beautiful figure floating on the surface of the lake.
He swam over and pulled her into his arms. Then, he broke out of the water and found a clean patch of grass to put her down. He carefully checked if she had hurt herself.
It was strange. He knew that she was dead, but he couldn't help but want to do this. Because how could he bear to let her fall off the cliff and get injured all over? If he hadn't been determined to die, he wouldn't have done such a thing.
He used his fingers to comb her wet long hair and used his sleeve to wipe away the water droplets on her face. Then, he lowered his head to kiss her cold little mouth and said gently,"Feng 'er, your clothes are wet, but it doesn't matter. I'll start a fire to dry them for you so that you won't feel uncomfortable.”
After saying that, he really found some branches to start a fire. Then, he helped Chu Fengyi up and leaned against him, as if she was still alive. He held her gently with one hand and unbuttoned her clothes with the other.
Just as Nangong Wujiu was about to unbutton her outer garment and remove her undergarment, he suddenly felt that his chest, which had stopped moving, moved slightly.
He blinked his eyes, thinking that he had seen wrongly, so he focused his eyes again and saw Chu Fengyi's chest rising and falling weakly. However, the range was so small that one would not notice it if they did not look carefully.
Nangong Wujiu shook his head in shock and disbelief.
Could it be that she…wasn't dead? As this thought flashed through his mind, Nangong Wujiu immediately reached out and pulled off Chu Fengyi's undergarment. He pressed his palm on her left chest and focused his attention on her.
Sure enough, there was a faint warmth and throbbing from his palm. She really wasn't dead!
Two streams of tears rolled down his face and fell on Chu Fengyi's naked chest.
She's not dead, she's really not dead!
Heavens! She didn't die, she was still alive!
Nangong Wujiu wanted to jump up and shout at the thought that Chu Fengyi was still alive, but his joy did not last long. He thought, if Chu Fengyi was still alive, why did Chu Yufeng bury her in a coffin? Since she wasn't dead, why didn't he notice it before? He remembered that he had checked and confirmed that she was dead. Otherwise, why would he carry her and jump down the cliff? Since she was already dead, why was she alive now?
Could it be because of the Nine Phoenix Ring that she escaped death? If it was the Nine Phoenix Ring, then she wouldn't have lost her breath previously. Then…poison? Or was there more than two poisons in her body that caused the poisons to clash and saved her life?
Nangong Wujiu quickly checked Chu Fengyi's pulse. As expected, he found that her pulse was weak. Moreover, he could vaguely sense two forces pulling at each other in that extremely weak pulse.
Sure enough, it was because there were more than two types of poisons conflicting. However, the most important thing now was to let her wake up first. Otherwise, even if the Nine Phoenix Ring could cure a hundred poisons, it would not have any effect on a dead person.
Thinking of this, Nangong Wujiu did not dare to delay for even a moment. He took out the needle box that he had always carried with him and pierced the thirty-six major acupoints on Chu Fengyi's body with golden needles. When he inserted the last needle into Chu Fengyi's philtrum, he heard a soft moan. Chu Fengyi, who had been dead for two days, woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Nangong Wujiu's anxious, happy, and worried face.
"You…"
Nangong Wujiu held her hand." Feng 'er, you're awake? I thought you…" He choked and could not continue.
Chu Fengyi wanted to pull her hand away weakly." Let…let go of me…I don't want to…I don't want to see you…"
He held her tightly and refused to let go for a moment." Don't be like this. You're deeply poisoned. I have to think of a way to detoxify you first. Tell me, what poison did you get? Only then can I use the Nine Phoenix Ring to help you detoxify the poison!”
Chu Fengyi shook her head and desperately tried to pull her hand away." Don't touch me. I don't want you to touch me. I don't want to see you. I don't want to see you!" You go! Let's go!"
"Feng 'er, don't be like this! I know you hate me, but please, look at the time, okay? You were poisoned and suffered such serious injuries. If you don't treat it quickly, you will definitely die."
"I just want to die. I just…Wow!" Suddenly, Chu Fengyi's eyes widened, and she opened her mouth. A large mouthful of black blood was spat out on Nangong Wujiu's body, and he fainted.
Nangong Wujiu turned pale with fright and grabbed her hand to check her pulse.
Not good. Anger attacked her heart and made her, who was already heavily injured, even more poisonous.
What should he do? Listen to her and ignore her? No, this was equivalent to sending her to her death! He had managed to snatch her back from the King of Hell with great difficulty, and now he could not hand over her life no matter what. However, if she did not listen to her, with her stubborn personality, the two of them would probably continue to drag this out until the end of her life.
This…what should he do? Nangong Wujiu looked helplessly at the unconscious Chu Fengyi and thought, He loves her! No matter how much she misunderstood him or hated him, he loved her. Even if he had to sacrifice his life for her, she didn't want him to save her.
Although he was skilled in medicine and had a good understanding of poisons and poisons, there were hundreds of poisonous herbs in the world. As long as a few of them were mixed together, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to guess which poison she had been poisoned by. And if he couldn't find out what poison she was afflicted with, he wouldn't be able to use the Nine Phoenix Ring to save her. What should he do?
He could have saved her, but he couldn't because of a misunderstanding. He might even have to watch her die in front of him again.
How could he? How could he bear to?
Heavens! What should he do?
At this moment, his gaze once again stopped on Chu Fengyi, looking at her pale face.
Then, he frowned and made a decision.
He took out the silver needles again and placed them on Chu Fengyi's major acupuncture points. He twirled the needles carefully while observing her reaction.
Not long after, Chu Fengyi woke up. She looked at Nangong Wujiu, breathing heavily." You…leave. I'd rather die than see you. I don't want you to save me!"”
Nangong Wujiu laughed out loud. His laughter was dull and painful." Of course I know that you would rather die than have me save you. But do you know? If you die, then I won't be able to live either.”
Chu Fengyi turned his head away." What does your life and death have to do with me?”
"Of course it's none of your business! Because I love you. The reason why I've lived until now is to see you. If you die, what's the point of me living alone?”
Chu Fengyi closed her eyes and was too lazy to look at him.
Nangong Wujiu sighed softly." Feng 'er, do you know where this is?”
Chu Fengyi's lips were tightly shut. She looked like she was asleep, but Nangong Wujiu knew that she was not.
" This is the bottom of the Qilian Mountains," he said." Yu Feng and the others abandoned the tomb that the Heavenly Maiden prepared for the nine of you and buried you on the Qilian Mountains. But now you are at the bottom of the Qilian Mountains. Do you know why?”
Chu Fengyi slowly opened her eyes and looked around. As expected, she found that the mountain walls were high up into the clouds, and the surroundings were filled with rocks and trees. A few white clouds floated past, and the sky seemed to be very far away from her.
Nangong Wujiu stared at her with infinite gentleness in his eyes, but there was a hint of madness in them." Because you're dead. No, because they said you were dead, and I didn't believe them! That's why I dug you out of your grave, picked you up from your coffin, and jumped into the valley. That's why you're here now.”
Chu Fengyi could not believe it." You..." This man actually... dug up the grave and opened the coffin? He even…jumped off the cliff?
"I love you," he continued."You hate me, but I'm satisfied as long as I know you're alive and well. There's nothing else I want. However, I've already made up my mind. If you die, then I don't want to live either, do you understand?”
"You…"
"Now that you refuse to tell me what poison you've been poisoned with, and you refuse to let me touch you, isn't that the same as asking me to watch you die? I love you. How can I watch this happen? Since you want to wait for death, then I'll accompany you. I won't live!”After he finished speaking, he took out the dagger that he had always carried with him from his boot. Before Chu Fengyi could see what he wanted to do, the dagger had already stabbed into his chest, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
Chu Fengyi was shocked." You…What are you doing? You…"
He smiled and pulled out the dagger. He let the blood drip down, but he didn't even frown. "I told you, since you want to wait for death, then I'll wait with you. I won't live alone!”
As he spoke, he raised his dagger and prepared to stab again.
"Don't be like this, don't be like this!”
Nangong Wujiu looked at her." Then, are you willing to let me heal you?”
" I…" She shook her head." Don't worry about me. My injuries are incurable." You…you should stop the bleeding first and heal yourself first.”
"Since you think that your injury is not important, then what's important about my injury? Just let it bleed like this." He threw the dagger on the ground and covered his wound with one hand, allowing the blood to flow out from between his fingers and dye his clothes red.
Chu Fengyi struggled to get up and looked at him. She looked at the man in front of her who she had once loved and hated deeply.
She knew him very well and understood that although he looked elegant, gentle and refined, there was actually a willful and arrogant side to his personality. When he went crazy, he would go crazy without caring about anything else. Otherwise, why would he use his own brother just to get the Nine Phoenix Ring? He even sent his only beloved sister, Nangong Zhuyi, to the Imperial Palace to be a small laborer?
For a man like him, once he said he wanted to bleed to death, he would definitely do it.
Although she hated him, she didn't want to see him hurt himself like this, especially when he hurt himself for her sake. She couldn't.
"You…Stop the bleeding and heal yourself first.”
Nangong Wujiu looked at her without changing his expression. Now, his clothes were completely dyed red with blood." Then tell me first, what poison did you get?"”
" You…" She looked at him for a long while before she could not resist his stubbornness and nodded." Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me to stop the bleeding and heal yourself first."”
Nangong Wujiu was overjoyed." You agreed?”
"Yes! I agree. Stop the bleeding first! " If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll…" Before she could finish speaking, Chu Fengyi saw Nangong Wujiu's body slowly fall to the side. She shouted anxiously,""Wujiu, what's wrong? Wujiu, Wujiu!"
It turned out that Nangong Wujiu had fainted on the ground due to excessive blood loss and was unconscious.# specific
