Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 215: Feeding Demons With Your Body (3)
But now, when everything is coming back again, it seems to be heading towards the same unstoppable fate track again.

Chu Yu gently held Jiang Li's hand, and then asked Gucheng, "So, this time..."

Gucheng said: "The place where life is killed cannot be broken or established. The royal blood of the Eastern Branch has been weakened to the point of completeness. If it continues, the Eastern Branch will be destroyed. Therefore, I want to rewash the Eastern Branch."

The four words "rewashing Dongzhi" seemed to carry endless tragedy.

Jiang Li stared at him, seeming to know what he was thinking.

Such a hopeless future.

The fate of his birth had already been arranged, he would be the last high priest in the history of Dongzhi, and Rong Youyu's purpose in giving birth to him, from the very beginning, was to die.

One had been abandoned long ago, but the other was for death. Rong Youyu turned out to be such a mother. She had struggled, and a piece of flesh and blood fell from her body, and both of them were sent to death.

But Jiang Li thought of those needles and threads found at the bottom of the crystal coffin that day, and they were cherished from the fineness of each stitch, and even others could see that kind of love and affection, so if these were unavoidable And for this, how did this mother poke herself with a knife in her own body?
She couldn't help looking at Gucheng again.

It turned out that this was his protection.This is his protection for Qiwei.

He just doesn't want to watch the girl he loves helplessly watch him die. Maybe he can't even imagine how tragic it is, so how can he let Qi Wei watch it?Those painful indifferences, every moment of persistence, were just to make her turn around.

Jiang Li knew that according to Qi Wei's temperament, if Gucheng died in front of her, even if she didn't die, her life from now on would no longer have any meaning, because the one she loved the most was the farthest, and she had never been in touch with it, so Can't imagine.But Gucheng's betrayal, even if her heart is pierced by a knife, she will live well. She has always been a self-loving person. If the problem lies with others, she will never be so depressed.

She still has a long way to go, and she still has a happy face to look forward to, but he has not many days left.

His responsibility made him make a choice, but he couldn't destroy those things engraved in his bones because of his love. He killed the royal family, but left Yun Qi behind. He knew the existence of this child from the beginning to the end. However, he also knows the future and destiny of this child. After his death, he will grow into a new generation of Dongzhi Emperor.

Sometimes Gucheng even thought that if Qi Wei hadn't fallen in front of him that day, then she would still be that girl who laughed lawlessly, with her own light.But is he willing?In the darkness of my own death, there used to be this dream light, not those dark and dreary futures.In fact, she was just a pawn at the beginning, but he never expected that this pawn would become a pearl in his heart, hidden there so precious that he couldn't even tell if he liked it.

Once it starts, it may be beyond redemption.

He once thought about sending her away so that he would never see her again, but she came back.

He seemed to no longer have the courage to push her away. At that time, he thought, just for a while, in this last journey of life, indulge yourself, but that kind of joy is too little, the little is like quicksand at the fingertips, I wanted to use my strength to keep a little more, just a little, but in the end, I found that my hands were empty.

He even seemed afraid of kissing. He was afraid that for a person like himself who was going to die, even the slightest touch would hurt him. Even though he wanted to hold her in his arms, the only thing he had was restraint.

He restrained himself so much that even at the end he didn't dare to touch her sleeping face in person, he could only watch her on the way to leave, just to have a last look at her back as she walked away, and didn't even dare to say her name.

That was his fate, this life had nothing to do with love after all.

The sound of the river is rolling in, and the mountains and rivers are picturesque for thousands of miles, what price will be paid behind it?The bright EMIs sing praises, and the dark ones reviled by tens of thousands, but who is black and who is white, how many people know?
Jiang Li glanced at Chu Yu, but saw that his eyes were heavy and his black hair was flying in the darkness, giving him a great sense of desolation.

What is he thinking again?
Everyone fell into silence for a while, the moon rose high, the big jade plate gradually became smaller, and everything in the world changed accordingly, Gucheng said: "Follow me."

The two followed him, and when they stopped, Jiang Li discovered that this was the bank of the Sacrifice River that he had strayed into on the day he first arrived in Dongzhi.When that day came, the red lotus bloomed, but after such a long time, the flowering period of these red lotus was still there, and even the red blood dripping color was poking straight at the corner of people's eyes.

Chu Yu's brow flashed, and the purple sleeve rolled up, and suddenly a red lotus was rolled up. As if the red lotus was restrained by some force, Chu Yu's hand paused, and then he pulled up the red lotus by its roots.

Sludge was brought out from the root of the lotus root, but unexpectedly, there was something under the joint of the lotus root, and a rotten smell came out from the bottom of the water, making people sick.

After pulling out all the things, even with Jiangli's composure, he couldn't stop being surprised.

Under the red lotus was a rotting corpse, most of which had been swallowed up in flesh and blood, leaving only the hideous gums and fallen eyes.

This is……

Gucheng Road: "This is the sacrifice of Dongzhi. Every year on April 23, the bodies of hundreds of boys are cast as a sacrifice. It is not a sacrifice to gods, but to sacrifice to demons."

Anything, but put on a beautiful coat, just like this beautiful red lotus, the bottom is really dangerous.

Gu Chengdao: "There is no time, this is the deadline."

Chu Yu asked, "I want to ask, do you know where your mother is?"

Gucheng shook his head and said: "I don't know, the next priest will never know the place where the previous one was buried. Also, the spirit priest who has many things from the priests of each generation has disappeared until three generations ago, and until now I have I don't know where it is buried. The current Lingsi is just a virtual shell."

Chu Yu said: "Ah Li and I once entered a place by mistake, it may be related to these, do you want to go and have a look?"

Gucheng looked at him.

The three began to move forward in the dark night.

Although the two entered by mistake that day, but fortunately, their memories are very good, and those tiny memories can be followed in a flash.

The three of them jumped down from the cracks in the ground, then jumped into the water channel and reached the bottom of the valley.

Gucheng was obviously very clear about the pattern here, he covered the door with his scarred hand, and walked in after the door opened.

Jiang Li and Chu Yu looked at each other. Chu Yu didn't explain their relationship with Gu Cheng, and Jiang Li probably knew about it.Both Chu Yu and Gucheng were too sensible, otherwise Gucheng could have done things with emotion and left Qi Wei far away, but the responsibility on his body made him force Qi Wei away.Even if you know the relationship between the two, what's the point?They will not change their decision for any reason.
