Chapter 197: The Old Affair of the Annex

Li Muyuan took Tao Xin to walk through the hallway, and finally came to the pond. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Tao Xinlai felt that he was wrong, this courtyard was actually not small at all, just looking at the pond could see it. There is a wooden blue-gray pentagonal pavilion in the pool, the five pavilion pillars stand upright, there are no tables and no benches in the pavilion, and the base is also wooden.

Li Muyuan flew up, his toes tapped on the water, and after a while, he entered the small pavilion, and behind him, there were a few shallow water lines on the water surface, and his posture was very elegant and leisurely.

Tao Xinlai also followed Li Muyuan's footsteps into the small pavilion, only to see Li Muyuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could bring you here." ”

"What you're going to show me here?" Tao Xin asked.

Li Muyuan nodded and said, "You wait for me for a while." Then he suddenly jumped up, stretched out his hand and touched the beam on the top for a long time, and then slapped it with his palm in one place, and suddenly a square piece of wood appeared. He pulled out the wood, stood still in front of Tao Xinlai, and began to carefully wipe the blue-gray wood with his sleeve.

Tao Xin looked at the past, the wood was very ordinary, the edges and corners were flat, the color was uniform, and she could see that there was no pattern, and she couldn't feel that there was any unusual atmosphere in this wood, let alone spirituality. To put it bluntly, this is an ordinary piece of wood.

Li Muyuan saw Tao Xinlai's puzzled eyes, smiled, and said: "This is indeed an ordinary piece of wood, not a spiritual thing, but ......" The palm-sized wood turned a few times in Li Muyuan's hand at different angles, and then Li Muyuan held the wood with both hands and broke it to both sides, Tao Xinlai found that the wood was actually hollow, and this was actually a wooden box. Moreover, the opening of the wooden box was broken by Li Muyuan, and there were several gears of different sizes and different shades arranged on three sides. Tao Xin guessed that these gears were mechanisms, so Li Muyuan was holding the wood and spinning around just now in order to open the mechanism!

There are several grooves on one side of the wooden box, one is long, and there is a tube of green bamboo with an index finger length inside, and the other two grooves are hemispherical, and there are two black pills with wax sealed in the size of egg yolks, if you look carefully, the black of the pills is faintly green light, and a very peculiar aroma looms with the opening of the wooden box. And on the other side of the wooden box, there was a bundle of neatly tied white hair.

Tao Xinlai took a closer look, the bundle of white hair was hard, with one end slightly curled, this was not like a woman's hair, it should be a man's hair. Moreover, it looks like the hair of a man who is not very good-tempered and somewhat stubborn.

So, these three things are put together, did she play a hidden plot?

Tao Xinlai's heart thumped twice, and she looked at Li Muyuan very consciously, and regarded Li Muyuan as an NPC who issued hidden tasks.

Li Muyuan took out the tube of green bamboo with two fingers, and then put the opened wooden box into Tao Xinlai's hand.

Tao Xinlai took the wooden box, and saw Li Muyuan turning the tube of green bamboo around, and then the green bamboo was stretched, and finally turned into a tube of brushes. Dare to love this brush is still telescopic, really advanced.

Li Muyuan handed the brush to Tao Xinlai, and at the same time took the wooden box, and then quietly watched Tao Xinlai, obviously waiting for Tao Xinlai to find clues by himself.

Tao Xinlai also turned around with a brush in his hand, and then found two small characters engraved by a knife in the middle of the pen tube that was originally hidden inside-Jing Xuan.

Tao Xinlai's head suddenly emptied, and then looked at Li Muyuan stupidly. No matter how she imagined it, she couldn't imagine that Li Muyuan brought her to this place and showed her these things, which were actually related to Master Jingxuan Zhenjun. This...... This...... What's going on?

Li Muyuan did not speak.

Tao Xinlai reluctantly restrained his emotions, and then looked down at the two small words. Judging from the font, it should have been written by a woman, and the eye color of the engraved place is slightly darker than other places, and the traces of the knife carving are very deep, as if it is constantly being engraved repeatedly. All kinds of signs made her seem to see a bloody picture - a flower-like woman quietly carved these two words with a knife, and then took out the pen from time to time, and her fingers consciously or unconsciously rubbed and rubbed on those two words...... Then you have to engrave it again, because the handwriting is likely to be worn thin. Of course, either this pen had been used by her master herself, or the woman who wanted to give it to her master but could not give it away—she was inclined to the former.

She unconsciously looked at the bunch of white hair in the wooden box again, this time there was a clue, and she quickly thought that this hair should also belong to her master, right? As for the two pills, she really hadn't studied the pills and couldn't make up her mind.

Then, Tao Xinlai had only one thought in her mind - she didn't expect her master to have a confidante.

Why suddenly there is a feeling of melancholy.

Li Muyuan picked up a pill at this time and said, "Do you know this?" ”

Tao Xinlai shook his head honestly.

"This is the elixir." Li Muyuan said calmly.

"Cleansing Elixir?!" But Tao Xinlai couldn't help but scream. This is the Cleansing Pill, this is the Cleansing Pill she once wanted to collect all the materials and ask someone to refine it! She used to want it so much, but now she doesn't know each other.

Li Muyuan looked at Tao Xin's appearance, and couldn't help but think of another thing. "I heard that you are also a water and fire dual spirit root, I don't know how many spirit pills you have eaten to wash away a water spirit root, but this is not good for you at all. Over the years, I have been researching how to eliminate the side effects of consuming the elixir, but there is still no good way to do it once and for all. His expression was regretful, even a little lonely.

He paused, looked at Tao Xin and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, you are still young now, although you have been promoted faster in your cultivation before, but from now on, control the speed well, try to slow down, plus I regularly prepare pills for you and suppress it temporarily, before you get married, I will try to find a way." ”

Tao Xin blinked, noncommittal. She didn't eat the Cleansing Pill to wash away the water spirit root, but she couldn't say that now.

Li Muyuan mentioned this matter for a while, then returned to the topic, and said, "The Cleansing Pill that your master Jingxuan Zhenjun consumed back then and the two Cleansing Pills here are from the same person. ”

"Your elder?" Tao Xinlai couldn't help but ask.

Li Muyuan nodded lightly, and it took a long time before he said, "You know that my Li family is a Dan cultivation family, and many disciples are practicing in the Shendan Sect. My elder was also a Dan cultivator with a very high talent in alchemy in the Li family, but she was congenitally deficient and lingered on the sickbed all the year round, so with the permission of the elders in the clan, she entered the Jinghua Gate and rarely returned to the Li family. ”

Li Muyuan handed over the entire wooden box to Tao Xinlai, took a few steps forward, and said: "The elders in the clan have pity, they don't have much requirements for her in terms of cultivation, but they have a little more consideration on the issue of marriage, and they want to find someone who knows cold and hot for her to take care of her as soon as possible." But she knew that her life was unsustainable and she didn't want to obey the arrangements of the clan, so she quietly went down the mountain, went out of Jinghua City, and traveled outside. It was at that time that she became acquainted with Jingxuan Zhenjun, and after she returned, she indulged in alchemy, wanting to change her physique and let herself live longer. But...... But there is no way to ......"

Tao Xinlai frowned. Congenital deficiencies are not incurable, especially for those who cultivate immortals, with the increase of cultivation, they can be as sound as normal people, and there is generally no way to do it.

However, no one answered Tao Xinlai's question.

"For a long time, she wasn't in a good mood. Later, she went out of Mirror Flower City again, and after she came back, she no longer did alchemy, but lived very quietly in this courtyard. After a few years, the annex was empty. It's a pity that Li Muyuan didn't know whether he didn't know anything or didn't want to talk in detail, so he quickly ended the story meeting.

Li Muyuan turned around, looked directly into Tao Xinlai's eyes, and said, "This elder is my third aunt." The second time the third aunt walked out of Mirror Flower City, she went to form a white-headed alliance with Jingxuan Zhenjun. I don't think Jing Xuan Zhenjun has ever mentioned these things to anyone, so although I have these relics here, if you don't believe me, I can't prove to you that what I said is true. Li Muyuan said it objectively, but of course he hoped that Tao Xin would believe it.

Tao Xinlai was thinking about another thing. If what Li Muyuan said is true, then it is very easy to explain why in the original book, "Tao Xinlai" did something too much to Bai Zilian, and Li Muyuan did not touch a single hair of "Tao Xinlai", although he did not help "Tao Xinlai" say a good word or do a good deed.

However, she thought about it again and again, in the original book, "Tao Xinlai" and Jingxuan Zhenjun had no friendship and nothing to do with it, so this reason was not established. Thinking about what Li Muyuan did in the original book, she reluctantly came to a conclusion - this is a true gentleman.

However, as Li Muyuan said, her master probably hasn't really mentioned this to anyone. At least, in the last days, she had never heard Master Shizun explain in this regard. So, to prove the truth of these things, these items in front of her are really not enough.

Li Muyuan said: "Actually, before I came to the competition, I knew a lot of news about you, but comparatively speaking, I knew more about your master Han Fengyi. I am telling you these things because I want you to believe me that I will not harm you. My third aunt is very good to me, and I will never do anything to hurt the descendants of Jingxuan. ”

"What do you want me to believe you for? Is there anything you need me to do? Tao Xinlai grasped the point.

Li Muyuan's expression became very serious. "I ......" began to speak, and I felt a little difficult to speak, and my brows were tangled.

It seems to be a big deal. Tao Xinlai checked his heart and said, "Let's talk about it, let's discuss it." ”

Li Muyuan was silent for a moment, and finally made up his mind: "I want to confirm some things, and I need your cooperation." ”

Tao Xin looked at Li Muyuan and motioned for him to continue.

Li Muyuan gritted his teeth, "I suspect that your fellow disciple Bai Zilian has contact with the demon clan, and it is even very likely that he has formed an alliance with a certain demon cultivator, this is what I want to be sure of." ”

"What?!" Tao Xinlai was really surprised, whether it was what Li Muyuan said or what came out of Li Muyuan's mouth, these two things also surprised her. (To be continued.) )
