Chapter 49: The Secret (1)
Luo Chuan nodded and continued, "This fifth letter is the most interesting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lingzun begins with a promise to your marriage. The following explained that he did not deliberately conceal the incident of Ling Houye. It is not impossible for Ling Zun to pretend to accept the marriage and find a reason to break the contract in the future. In other words, Ling Zun may have concealed something very important, important enough to affect the cooperation between them. So I had to use marriage to tie the two surnames together and tie the two families together. ”
Zhu Qingheng nodded, and listened to him continue, "Zhuang Zhu, if I guessed correctly, it should be the Sun Refining Pearl in Zhuang Yizi's hand." Zhuang Yizi did make some fake beads, such as one in the hand of Tianyin Jingzong Ning Shixuan, which was later snatched away by Yanmen. A total of five were found at that time. Cheng Yi bought the real one from Zhuang Yizi, who pretended to be a merchant selling pearl hairpins, and transferred it to the Gu family, I am afraid that Zhuang Yizi wanted him to transport it out of Luoyang, but before he could get it back, he was snatched away by Gong Qiuyan and thrown away by me. The person Ling Zun is looking for should be Zhuang Yizi. ”
Zhu Qingheng couldn't help asking, "Is the one you threw really real?" When I saw it in the carriage, I felt that it was very similar to refining the Sun Bead, which had secretly conveyed spiritual power, but there was no response. Or is my spiritual power too meager? ”
Luo Chuan was surprised: "Have you tried it?" ”
Zhu Qingheng nodded.
Luo Chuan was stunned for a while, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Gong Qiuyan and I didn't dare to try, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." ”
Zhu Qingheng said: "Why are you so sure that one is real? ”
Luo Chuan said: "Because the other four are fake." And Zhuang Yizi died. ”
Zhu Qingheng lost his voice and said, "He's dead?" ”
Luo Chuan said: "Just a week ago. Now it seems that he should have faked his death. With the golden cicada shelling scheme, he took the opportunity to escape from Luoyang and took the refining sun bead on the hairpin of the Gu family girl first. He was sure that the two sisters would not come into contact with any monks on weekdays, and would not notice the difference in the beads, and the monks would not check whether ordinary people were hiding the beads. ”
Zhu Qingheng said: "Maybe someone else changed it, and maybe there is a sixth 'Sun Refining Pearl', but they didn't find it." ”
Luo Chuan nodded and said, "It's not impossible." At that time, there were indeed a few people in Luoyang who never appeared. It's just that when I knew that Zhuang Yizi was killed, I felt that it was wrong, and someone who could set up such a big game should have his own life in mind. ”
Zhu Qingheng nodded, frowned again, and said: "However, I can't figure out the reason why my father went to find the Sun Refining Pearl, although the bead is a treasure, but my family has always been far away from the cultivation world, and my father is only at the level of Jindan, how can he covet it." ”
Luo Chuan said: "Ling Zun chose to cooperate with Marquis Ling, not necessarily because he coveted this bead, maybe it had other uses. ”
Zhu Qingheng was silent for a while, and then asked, "Then you say, why did Marquis Ling show me all these letters?" ”
Luo Chuan said: "Let me ask you, if it weren't for me, what would you do if you read these letters?" ”
Zhu Qingheng said: "I...... I'll find a way to talk to Marquis Ling. ”
Luo Chuan said: "Maybe he's waiting for you to find him." ”
Zhu Qingheng was taken aback and asked, "What?" ”
Luo Chuan said, "Ling Zun is hiding a very important thing from him," he pointed to the fifth letter, "He doesn't necessarily think you know, but if you ask him about it, the clues that you inadvertently revealed, coupled with the information he has, may be able to deduce this matter." ”

The night was late, and the late June wind was a little cooler.
There is a lake in the east courtyard, and there are lotus flowers blooming on the surface of the lake, and there are countless fat koi fish under the lotus leaves. There is also a pavilion by the lake, Zhu Qingheng is sitting in the pavilion, blown by the lake wind, and only feels cold to the bone.
Ever since she saw Zhu Yuheng's body floating on the lake, she was a little afraid of this calm lake. But I couldn't sleep tonight, after Luo Chuan left, she walked a little half circle in the yard, and when she saw this pavilion, she still walked over.
Suddenly, there were some trivial sounds by the lake, Zhu Qingheng looked over, and saw Yuebai's figure squatting behind a reef and didn't know what to do. Zhu Qingheng sighed in his heart, got up and was about to leave, but saw the man standing up, just opposite her, but it was that Ling Gongzi. I saw that he was wearing a half-worn regular clothes, but he was holding a turmeric earth dog in his arms. The dog was bald in a few places, but it was cleanly washed, and one hind leg was wrapped in a bandage.
That Ling Jue didn't expect to bump into Zhu Qingheng here, and was stunned for a while. He came over with the dog in his arms.
Zhu Qingheng smiled: "I didn't expect that there was another person who couldn't sleep tonight." This dog was raised by Ling Gongzi? ”
Ling Jue shook his head, his lips opened a few times, but he didn't dare to speak, his handsome face turned red.
Seeing this, Zhu Qingheng smiled and said, "You can write it in my hand." And he stretched out his right hand.
Ling Jue's eyes lit up, and he put the yellow dog on the ground and touched his head. The dog was very obedient, lying on the ground and not moving, whining, and licking Ling Jue. Ling Jue smiled itchingly, stood up and grabbed Zhu Qingheng's hand, and wrote on her palm word by word: It broke into my house the night before yesterday, and I saw that it was injured, so I asked it to stay for a few days to change its dressing.
The fingers were drawn on the palm of the hand, and after the sentence was written, both of them blushed.
Zhu Qingheng tilted his head slightly and asked, "Then why don't you raise it openly?" ”
Ling Jue shook his head and wrote: The family is too ugly, so it is not allowed. When he wrote this, his eyes were full of pity.
Zhu Qingheng looked at the yellow dog, this was indeed an extremely ugly earth dog. It looked very old, the flesh on its face drooping, and its eyes almost obscured. Its hairs are long in some places and short in others. The body is very thin, and the shape of the bones can almost be seen in some places, but the belly is a little fat.
At that time, there were often pets among the nobles, and those ordinary people who did not cultivate were mostly pets such as court dogs, Persian cats, thrushes, and parrots with noble blood, and they often groomed and dressed them, and held a beauty pageant every ten days and half a month. Compared with these pets, this earth dog is indeed too ugly and old, and it is reasonable for Marquis Ling or Mrs. Ling to refuse.
But this also shows more and more the preciousness of Ling Jue, who is used to eating and drinking.
Zhu Qingheng walked up to the yellow dog, looked at its injured leg, saw that there was still a wooden board wrapped in the bandage, and asked, "Is this leg broken?" ”
Ling Jue nodded.
Zhu Qingheng turned his head and said, "This is what you bandaged?" ”
Ling Jue nodded again.
Zhu Qingheng said: "This bandage is very good. Do you get hurt often? ”
Ling Jue shook his head, took Zhu Qingheng's hand, and wrote: I went to study now.
Zhu Qingheng smiled and asked again, "Did you change the medicine tonight?" ”
Ling Jue shook his head, and Zhu Qingheng said, "I'll help you with it." ”
Ling Jue looked at her in surprise and wrote: Aren't you dirty?
Zhu Qingheng smiled and groaned: "What's dirty about this? This dog has never harmed anyone, has never counted people, but is much cleaner than many people in this world. What's more, it's so clean by you. ”
Ling Jue looked at her, her eyes filled with worry and pity.
