Chapter 153 The Truth Comes Out

On the way back to the harem, Beidou also met Jing Tingrui, and was surprised to see him coaxing Yu'er while talking to the guards.

Jing Tingrui told him about it and told him to take good care of Yan.

Beidou was stunned when he heard this. As an imperial doctor, he had also heard of patients with two personalities, but their appearances were the same. In the case of Usman and Danerman, both hair and eyes could be changed, and The power possessed by the two is also completely different.

Beidou felt that this trip to Xiliang was really worth it, he had never met such a miraculous person.If possible, he would like to "take care" of Usman, and maybe help him figure out a solution.

Jing Tingrui naturally saw his eagerness to move, and reminded him not to intervene in Xiliang's internal affairs, otherwise Ke Weiqing would be very angry if he provoked a war between the two countries.

"Your eyes are too poisonous." Beidou stared at Jing Tingrui in surprise. How did he know that the person he "fears most" is Ke Weiqing?

Whenever Ke Weiqing was sad or depressed, he would also be sad and depressed, but this feeling was buried so deep that he would never say it in his life.

"Everyone has someone they want to protect." Jing Tingrui smiled at first, his tone was affirmative, and then he straightened his expression and said solemnly, "Of course I have to understand the 'weakness' of everyone who haunts Aiqing. What?"

"No wonder Yan'er hates you." After saying this, Beidou ran away, and then met Usman at the door of the sleeping hall.

"Divine Doctor Beidou," Usman looked down at him and said, "Please take care of Yan Yan."

"It's natural, King Xiliang...Your complexion is not good," Beidou said with concern, "Why don't I get your pulse first."

"No need." Usman replied in a low voice, turned and left.

"It's a pity..." Beidou looked at his tall but extremely lonely figure and said, "Such good study materials... Xiliang witchcraft really deserves its reputation."

Beidou strode into the dormitory, looked at the slightly pale and lethargic Yan on the bed, and sighed: "... Wei Qing's child is also so troubled."

Hearing Beidou directly calling the Empress Dowager by name, Shen Fangyu could only pretend that he didn't hear it. He bowed and said: "The humble post is waiting outside, and the genius doctor can pass on the humble post if there is something to do."

Shen Fangyu went out, but Ilya was still there, full of anxiety.

Beidou rested his right hand on Yan's Cun pulse, and diagnosed carefully: "Yan'er's pulse is as thin as a thread, and her breath is empty and weak. It is because the heart pulse was damaged after rushing to attack the heart."

"Yes, genius doctor." Ilya nodded again and again, "Yan, he vomited a big mouthful of blood!"

"Hey, poor child, just like your father, he is in a sad relationship..." Beidou looked at Yan's slightly frowning brows lovingly, and sighed, "Let him sleep like this first, to nourish his spirit That's fine too."

"Yes!"

Beidou stuffed Yan's hands back under the thick blanket: "I'll write a prescription for calming the mind and nourishing the mind. You go to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicinal materials, and we will make the medicine for him to drink."

"Okay." Ilya took the order, not daring to neglect Beidou's instructions.

"boom!"

Everything in the imperial study collapsed in an instant, and the vases, scrolls, and pen holders were all shattered into pieces, flying in the air!

"Come out! Denlman! Get out!" The power of the crow spirit wrapped around Usman's body, like a raging dragon, tearing everything it touched instantly.

Frostfang curled up in a dark corner and shivered, and the little wolves had already run away.

"Don't play dead for me! What do you want to do to Yanyan?!" Usman stretched out his hand, and a piece of broken porcelain was sucked into his palm. land.

Pain makes the senses sharper. Denleman is always there, but he doesn't make a sound, but he can feel the sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and he is also afraid that his body will suffer more serious damage.

"Stop! Usman, you have no other way to call me out except self-mutilation?" Dan Erman's mocking voice sounded in Usman's mind, "You don't hurt, I still hurt."

This feeling of being possessed is a tormenting thing, having another voice in your head, and Usman has been forcing himself to get used to it because there is no other way.

After inheriting the power of the crow spirit, Danerman should have "died", but for some reason it has always existed, just like weeds in a flower garden, which can never be eradicated.

"Usman," Dan Erman continued, "You must be very angry that I ruined your wonderful marriage with Chun Yuyan, but I have my reasons for doing this."

"What's the reason?" Usman asked in a deep voice, holding the tile tightly, letting the blood drip.

"Because you never fell in love with him."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Usman was furious, the sharp porcelain pierced into the bone, and blood gushed out.

"Woo!" Dan Erman snorted in pain, and then said, "I'm not talking nonsense, if it wasn't for me, you would never have said to Chun Yuyan: I love you."

"...?!"

"Bai Mufa has always said that you are half-human, half-celestial, and half-hearted, because you failed to kill me when you were born, and let me have another half-heart, which is why I have never been able to die. "Den Erman said, "The reason why you can still fall in love with Chun Yuyan is not because your half of your heart is moved, but because of me, I also fell in love with Chun Yuyan, and our respective half of our hearts can be combined. When two become one, you can 'enlighten' and feel your love for Yan. So, you say that you can fall in love with Yan even if you don't have a heart, it is impossible. Just because your half is colder than a stone You will not be so devoted to him. Usman, if Yan knows that your love for him is fake, what will he think?"

"You lie! You have been lying since you were a child!"

"Yes, I don't deny that I like to deceive people, especially those who can't tell us apart, but Usman, other people don't know whether I love Chunyu Yan or not, don't you know it in your heart?"

"...!"

"You've always known that, that's why you're so on guard against me." Dan Erman chuckled, "It's a pity that you were fooled by your cleverness. You thought you were guarding me well, but you forgot the most important thing. thing."

"what?"

"I am you." Dan Erman said bluntly, "As long as you stay by Yan's side, I can always stay by Yan's side, isn't there a lot of chances?"

"How did you get out?"

"My mother taught me insanity while you were asleep. Whenever you fell asleep or lost your mind, I could take the opportunity to cast it on you. Of course, I didn't succeed every time. But as long as I saw it once, I could see it with my own eyes. Yan, watching him fall asleep peacefully, quietly guarding by his side, this is really a very happy thing."

Usman stood there in astonishment. He had been confident in controlling Denerman, but in the end he was played by Denerman and applauded.

"Den Erman, what are you going to do? Yan Yan is mine, it is impossible for him to be with you!"

"I should ask you this, Usman, what are you going to do? I warned you a long time ago that you are unlikely to have any results, but you didn't listen! You have to provoke him and make him fall in love with you." Dan Erman's voice suddenly became sad, "Do you know... Mother, as a goddess prophet, has already predicted today's outcome, so she wants to kill you."

"What does it mean?"

"You are--no, we are all sacrifices, whether you like it or not, this is our destiny. Mother hates Priest Tower for lying to her, killing you is equivalent to destroying Priest Tower and the future of Xiliang .My mother wants everyone to be buried with me. She is crazy, because she loves me, so she is completely crazy."

"I have destroyed the Priest Tower, and I will no longer be at the mercy of these spells."

"Hehe...'Brother', when did you become so naive?" Dan Erman whispered, "Even if the Priest Tower is completely destroyed, we are still sacrifices, and this will not change. If you don't believe me, You can look at the bottom of the case."

Usman strode towards the imperial case. The table was already broken. He raised his hand and pulled out the bottom drawer, which was still intact.

Inside is a roll of sheepskin letters with the coat of arms of Feralas printed on it.

"This is……"

"During this time, you have been busy dealing with the previous court, and you have to take care of Gu Yan's body. I have reviewed all the letters from Feralas on your behalf." Dan Erman said it as a matter of course.

Usman opened the letter, in which he wrote a lot about the place called "Chidi" and drew a detailed map.

"The content of this letter is very long, and it took Feralas a lot of effort, but I can tell it to you." Dan Erman took a deep breath, and said in a story-telling tone, "The ancient Western Liang There is a place called 'Chidi', where there are seven volcanoes of different sizes, where earthquakes occur frequently, making it uninhabitable, but two big rivers in Xiliang flow into the great plain in front of Chidi, so there is a very, very The wide lake is called Chiri Lake, and it is said that there are flocks of waterfowl and beasts flourishing there, and it is a paradise in the desert.”

"Our ancestors wanted the precious river water to irrigate the fields, not some lake in a volcanic valley, so they decided to build a dam to cut off the water source of Chiri Lake. It is incredible to say that, how can some mortals cut it off like this Broad and swift rivers, but day after day, year after year, our ancestors did it. The water source of Chiri Lake was completely cut off, and since then, there will be no drop of rain in the volcanic valley for a whole year. It's just a poisonous day."

"In less than 30 years, this huge Chiri Lake has dried up to the bottom, all fish and birds have died, and the dry lake bottom is covered with dry bones. The once paradise has become a ghost prison, a place where no life will exist."

"Our fields were well irrigated, and Xiliang gradually became a country from scattered tribes. It was at that time that 'Yao' emerged. He established Xiliang and built more dams, almost Squeezing every drop of water out of no man's land, maybe it's Chiri Lake's revenge, or maybe it's just fate, when all the seven stars of the Crow constellation appear in the western night sky, the volcanoes in Chidi will erupt, setting off a wave of chaos. The red dust is enough to swallow the entire area of ​​Xiliang. Who would have known that when they removed the Chiri Lake water, they also removed the natural barrier that could block the red dust!"

"'Yao' was very anxious when he learned all this. He really couldn't accept that Xiliang was established and then destroyed. He had to resort to witchcraft. The powerful wizard group got inspiration from the dead bones at the bottom of Chihu Lake and exhausted their own lives. Created the crow spirit technique, Yao gained powerful power, and exhausted all of it to stop the sandstorm... Yao died as a hero, but this is not the end."

"The wizards have known for a long time that this kind of thing will happen again, even Yao knows it well, otherwise he would not have given everything to the king of the Wuque clan when he was dying. The Xiliang Kingdom needs human sacrifices to comfort Chi The souls of the lake survived. Usman, have you seen the nearest starry sky, there is only one star left, and the Crow constellation in the west is all there."

The sheepskin scroll in Usman's hand slipped to the ground, and he walked towards the window. The night had already fallen, and the constellation Crow hung high in the night in the west at some point, flickering and flickering, like tears falling down, very bright.

Only the last star hadn't lit up yet, and Usman stood there in a daze, as if absent-minded.

What Feralas wrote in his letter is the secret he found in the Red Land, all of which are true, and the "Red Flame" will come soon.

Feralas couldn't come back in time, so he used eagles to send messages, and many eagles died of exhaustion.

"I know you really want to drive me away, and stay with Yan for the rest of your life, but we... don't have that blessing. We were doomed to be just sacrifices from birth. Mother's power is so powerful, but nothing can change this. , I didn't want to care about your life or Xiliang's life, but... I can't watch Yan innocently die here." Dan Erman sighed, "Before I met Yan, what I thought about every day How to take revenge, how to vent the resentment in my heart. I never did anything wrong, but I was sacrificed by the priest tower, and no one loved me or cared about me except my mother. But when I met Chunyuyan, when I silently guarded Looking at his smile and his sunny appearance, I even started to thank myself for being born. It was he who made my destiny of sacrifice a little more vivid... He is my The only person who wants to protect. Usman, do you now know why I want to reveal myself in front of Yan?"

"You want him to hate me completely, stay away from me...go back to Dayan." Usman said slowly, "You can't let Yan know that I am dying."

"Yes." Dan Erman sighed deeply, "I really didn't expect that you and I would reach an agreement. Instead of watching Yan cry heartbreakingly and never recover from the fall, it is better to give him a way out. With Yan's character, He will hate you for the rest of his life, but he will also live strong and take care of Yu'er when he grows up, isn't that great?"

Usman didn't speak, and stood by the window looking at the crow star. When he was a child, he often heard Wanfei say that the crow sent spirits. When it appeared, his life was not long, so he hated crows since he was a child.That day, when he saw the red-eyed crows in the cemetery, he killed them all.

But it turned out that Concubine Wan was referring to the Crow Constellation...

"Yanyan..." Usman raised his hand, and his blood-stained finger slowly slid across the glass window, dyeing the last crow star bright red.

He didn't want to believe Denleman's words, but he had to.

Because no one knows better than himself what is the Raven Spirit Art and what is a living sacrifice.

The answer to the mystery that was suddenly revealed overlapped with the bits and pieces of his growth process, so clear that he did not allow him to have the slightest doubt or take any chances.

There is no "maybe nothing will happen", and there is no "maybe there is a turning point", there is only a predestined ending.

Dan Erman didn't speak anymore, and he had nothing to say, he sighed deeply, and disappeared.

Usman stared fixedly at the glass window, thinking of Yan's face, thinking of him smiling and saying: "Yu'er is so cute, Usman, can we have more babies like Yu'er? "

"I want it after giving birth? Aren't you afraid of hard work?"

"I'm not afraid of hard work, the palace is lively when there are many children... But, I don't know if you have the strength, after all, you have to handle so many government affairs during the day..."

"Yanyan...don't tease me, can you, you know I can't stand it at all..." Usman couldn't help wrapping his arms around Yan's lower back.Yan is hugging the baby and coaxing him to sleep.

"Hahaha!" Yan was really teasing him.His smug smile made Yu'er cry, and Yan hurried to coax her, so naturally there was no chance of intimacy tonight.

Every time Yan finished flirting with him, he ran away... It made him "hate" so much that he was helpless.

For Yan Yan, he always had nothing to do.

"I love you, Yanyan." Usman burst into tears, "I love you..."

"I really love you..."

—but it turned out I wasn’t worthy.

If it is true as Denerman said, I fell in love with you through his half heart, then I really don't deserve to love you...

"boom!!"

Usman pressed his hands tightly on the window frame, tears dripping from the corners of his burning eyes, his internal organs collapsed, his silver eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes were broken, and he couldn't get better again.
