Seeing her darkish expression Huang Rong felt even worse. She didn’t enter the Historic Tomb, therefore didn’t know the entire story. She remembered how Wu Santong and Yang Guo himself had suffered harm from the needles, but they absolutely recovered. She didn’t know that Xiao Longnü was poisoned when she was reversing her blood stream; therefore, Guo Fu’s needle was a loss of life sentence for her.
“There’s one factor I don’t perceive about Yang Guo, and I wish to ask your clarification,” she inquired additional. “By risking your personal life you had succeeded in getting the tablet again from Gongsun Zhi. Why was Yang Guo not keen to take it? Why throw it down the ravine as an alternative? Why? I actually do not perceive.”
Xiao Longnü sighed barely, stated in her coronary heart, “I’m about to die and Guo’er’s love for me could be very deep, how may he stay alone? However issues have come this far and I do not wish to create extra bother.” She solely stated, “Yang Guo has a robust character.”
“Guo’er’s coronary heart is filled with love,” stated Huang Rong, “Might or not it’s that as a result of Miss Gongsun sacrificed her life for the tablet, Yang Guo didn’t have the center to take it? Thus he’s keen to sacrifice his personal life to repay her love. Sister, that motion exhibits his benevolent character, deserving our highest respect. Nonetheless, we can’t make the useless stay once more. However, his stubbornness in refusing any antidote would negate Miss Gongsun’s sacrifice.”
Xiao Longnü nodded her head.
Huang Rong paused for a second, after which continued, “You’ve got risked your life battling Gongsun Zhi on the stone bridge above the Damaged Coronary heart Cliff. That was additionally an act of final sacrifice. Yang Guo will take heed to no one however you alone. Subsequently, my Sister, please speak with him and persuade him for his personal good.”
Xiao Longnü couldn’t maintain her tears any longer; they flowed down her pretty cheeks. “If solely he had been keen to take heed to me … however even then, the place can we discover one other Passionless Capsule?” she stated, sobbing.
“There are not any extra Passionless Tablets on this entire large world,” Huang Rong stated, “however I consider there’s one other antidote to neutralize the poison in him. What I really feel is most tough is to get him to take it.”
Xiao Longnü was stunned and delighted on the similar time. “Is that so?” she stood up and requested, “Is … is there one other antidote?”
Huang Rong pulled her hand, “Please sit down.” She groped her pocket and took the purplish grass out. “That is the ‘Severed Gut Grass’ [duan chang cao] that was within the Divine Indian Monk’s hand when he died. In accordance with Brother Zhu, he was looking for the antidote when that needle took his life. As you additionally witnessed, Sister, regardless that he was useless, his countenance confirmed a glad smile. My solely conclusion is that he was glad as a result of he discovered this grass, which is the antidote to the Passionless Flower. In accordance with my Grasp – the Venerable Hong Qigong – inside a snake’s lair all the time exist some sort of plant, which is the antidote of that specific snake’s venom. This truth additionally holds true for different kinds of poisons as properly. Pure Regulation, it’s how nature governs itself. This grass certainly grew beneath the Passionless Flower. We solely knew that this grass is toxic; nevertheless, after pondering for some time, I notice that this grass is the antidote to the flower. Poison towards poison. One poison neutralizes the opposite.”
Xiao Longnü listened to her clarification and repeatedly nodded her head in settlement.
Huang Rong continued, “Taking this toxic grass certainly poses an amazing threat; however we have no different various proper now, we have to take this threat. In my view, I’m 90% assured that this drugs will probably be efficient.” She knew that Huang Rong was very clever, and listening to her confidence, she couldn’t assist however really feel her personal confidence develop as properly. Moreover, as Huang Rong stated, they didn’t have another various anyway. After witnessing Li Mochou’s struggling attributable to the Ardour Flower she felt that for Yang Guo to die from the grass’ poison could be preferable to dying of the flower’s poison. Subsequently, after a second or two cautious consideration, she made up her thoughts and stated confidently, “Very properly. Let me persuade him to take the grass.”
Huang Rong instantly reached in her pocket and took out a number of handfuls of grass and gave it to Xiao Longnü. “I picked these grasses alongside the best way, and I consider these handfuls could be ample,” she stated. “You’ll have to inform him to attempt a number of strands of grass first, whereas defending his inside organs together with his power. If it really works, than he can take extra later.”
Xiao Longnü then put the grass into her pocket and stood up, then kneeled down in entrance of Huang Rong. “Guo’er … he … he is an orphan and has no one to take care of him. He has suffered so much,” she was choked up … “He’s rash and infrequently occasions does no matter his coronary heart wishes … I urge Madame Guo to take care of him.”
Huang Rong rapidly lifted her up. “Guo’er is below your loving care, and I belief you’re a hundred occasions higher than me on this matter,” she was emotional as properly, “After Xiangyang is saved from the Mongols, we will go collectively to the Peach Blossom Island and have some good occasions collectively.”
As clever as she was, Madame Guo didn’t have any clue as to why Xiao Longnü had requested her the favor. Xiao Longnü anticipated she would die any second and had requested Huang Rong to care for Yang Guo.
Whereas his spouse was having a dialog with Huang Rong, Yang Guo waited patiently. Now that he noticed his spouse get up and stroll away, he instantly got here to her. “Guo’er,” stated Xiao Longnü, smiling sweetly, “our days are numbered. Allow us to not be burdened with different’s enterprise and simply be collectively, you and I… Would you accompany me wanting round this place?”
“Good!” Yang Guo replied, “I used to be simply going to suggest the identical factor.” Holding palms they left the group and walked slowly down a quiet path..
They hadn’t walked too far after they noticed a younger couple having a quiet speak below a tree. It was Wu Dunru and Yelu Yan. Yang Guo smiled and turned the opposite method. Once more, they hadn’t walked too far when instantly someone ran out of the bushes forward, laughing merrily, with someone behind, chasing her. It was Wanyan Ping, being chased by Wu Xiuwen. “I wish to know the place you’re going!” cried the younger man. Seeing Yang Guo and Xiao Longnü, Wanyan Ping blushed. “Brother Yang, Sister Lengthy,” she greeted them sheepishly. Then she ran towards the forest to their left. Xiuwen was not too far behind.
“O mortals, what’s love? That binds past life on earth?” Yang Guo softly murmured. He was silent for a minute earlier than persevering with, “These two brothers had been preventing to the loss of life to win Miss Guo’s consideration. Solely a short while later they love another person already. There are folks on this world who may love just one individual – for all times. But there are others like Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi who turned love into hatred. Ay! ‘O mortals, what’s love? That binds past life on earth?’ it is a very deep query and worthy to be contemplated.” Xiao Longnü was silent. She put her head down, quietly walked alongside, like she was pondering very onerous.
They arrived at a foothill a short time later. Wanting up they may see the solar was low on the mountain prime. Its purple rays illuminating purple clouds within the blue sky. The night mist beginning to cowl up the mountain peaks. It was a stupendous night past phrases. They had been satisfied that they’d not be collectively for much longer; they had been reluctant to half with this lovely surroundings.
