Chapter 1420: Leaves
The person who came in from outside the door turned out to be Zhuo Qingyang, who had been missing for a long time.
Zhuo Qingyang is a Confucian of the Chu State, and has an unparalleled prestige in the hearts of the scholars of the Chu State, and the Qionglin Academy she founded single-handedly broke the tradition of women not being literate, which can be described as a shock.
In other words, it is impossible for anyone to create Qionglin Academy, and only Zhuo Qingyang can do this incredible thing in this world.
Qionglin Academy once flourished and existed for decades.
The existence of Qionglin Academy is contrary to tradition, so it has always been in a rather difficult environment, and only with the maintenance of Zhuo Qingyang can the academy survive.
After Zhuo Qingyang's disappearance, Qionglin Academy was soon closed, and it is still cold.
Zhuo Qingyang was attacked and killed by a group of people that night, when Qi Ning found him, he was already seriously injured, and when Qi Ning wanted to find something to heal Zhuo Qingyang, and then turned back, Zhuo Qingyang had lost his trace, and since then, the Taishan Beidou of the literary world has lost his news.
The Shenhou Mansion also secretly investigated the matter, but there was no result.
And the Jizo scroll that has always made Qi Ning feel full of questions was also obtained from behind a plaque in the academy under the guidance of Zhuo Qingyang, the scroll was full of mysteries, and Zhuo Qingyang was naturally full of mysteries.
Before that night, Qi Ning only thought that Zhuo Qingyang was a generation of Confucianism, but since that night, he knew that Zhuo Qingyang was still a swordsman with excellent swordsmanship, and the bone pattern sword he owned was one of the top ten famous swords in the world.
Zhuo Qingyang's disappearance once worried Qi Ning, and he even guessed whether Zhuo Qingyang was captured by the enemy, and his life and death were uncertain.
But right now, Zhuo Qingyang suddenly appeared in front of him, which shocked Qi Ning, and faced Zhuo Qingyang, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Zhuo Qingyang stepped forward slowly, his face was ruddy, his qi was very good, it seemed that his body was obviously very healthy, with a light smile on his face, he bowed slightly to Qi Ning, and said gently: "I know you have a lot to say, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly!" Raising his hand to signal Qi Ning to sit down, he moved casually, obviously the master here Master Kongzang was next to him, but Zhuo Qingyang was like an anti-guest.
Qi Ning suppressed the shock in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down, still sitting opposite Master Kongzang, and Zhuo Qingyang sat down on the other side.
"Mr. Zhuo, you ....... How is it here? Qi Ning calmed down and finally asked.
Zhuo Qingyang and Master Kongzang glanced at each other, raised his hand and stroked his beard, and said, "Do you remember that night when an assassin infiltrated the academy and the old man was injured by them?" โ
"Naturally, I remember." Qi Ning sighed: "That night, my husband suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown, and I have always been very worried. โ
"And do you know who the Assassin was that night?"
Qi Ning frowned slightly, thinking that Jiang Suiyun also appeared in the academy that night, and asked rhetorically, "But Jiang Suiyun's people?" Sir, did you know that Jiang Suiyun had also infiltrated the academy that night? โ
Zhuo Qingyang bowed slightly, and said: "Jiang Suiyun approached the old man's purpose, and the old man knew very well in his heart that he had come for the Jizo scroll from the beginning. โ
Qi Ning's body shook slightly, and Zhuo Qingyang mentioned the Jizo scroll straight to the point, and there was no obscurity, but this surprised Qi Ning.
"It's just that the assassin who infiltrated that night was not something that Jiang Suiyun could instruct." Zhuo Qingyang said: "Jiang Suiyun has it secretly
A master from Baiyun Island in the East China Sea .....! โ
"Moying?" Qi Ning blurted out.
Zhuo Qingyang bowed his head and said, "Not bad." Qi Guo had already taken precautions many years ago, and secretly had contact with the Donghai family, and it was Mo Ying who led the matter. Qi is struggling to survive in the gap between the two great powers, knowing that it is weak, and is always worried about being destroyed, so it can cause chaos within the two countries, so as to weaken the strength of the two countries, and even lead to the division of the two countries, which is naturally what the Qi country dreams of. โ
"Jiang Suiyun entered Beijing as an official, and it was Mr. who recommended him to the imperial court." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Did Mr. know about Jiang Suiyun's plan after he came to Beijing, or did he already know about it?" โ
Zhuo Qingyang stroked his beard and smiled: "In fact, his plan was originally caused by the old man's temptation. โ
"Seduction?" Qi Ning was stunned.
"The father and son of the Jiang family know that the Jizo scroll is in my hands, just because I mentioned it to them many years ago." Zhuo Qingyang thought for a while before saying: "That should have been more than ten years ago, I went to the East China Sea that year, stayed in Jiang's house for a few days, and was warmly welcomed by Jiang Mantian. โ
Qi Ning had long known that Zhuo Qingyang had a deep relationship with the Jiang family in the East China Sea, and Jiang Suiyun also received Zhuo Qingyang's guidance when he was young.
"Jiang Mantian drank very well, and I was drunk with him all night in a poetry fight." Zhuo Qingyang said: "That is, that night, I told me about the Jizo scroll. โ
Qi Ning glanced at Master Kongzang and saw that Master Kongzang folded his hands together, and his expression was calm.
"So when Moying knows from them that the Jizo Scroll is in my hands, he will definitely do everything he can to take it away." Zhuo Qingyang said: "After more than ten years, as I planned back then, Moying did make a move. โ
Qi Ning was a little confused when he heard this, but he faintly felt that there was only an extremely complicated plan in the middle, and asked: "What does Mr. mean is that you went to the East China Sea more than ten years ago and got drunk and leaked secrets, not carelessly, but ....... Intentionally? โ
Zhuo Qingyang bowed slightly: "At that time, I already knew that the Jiang family had a secret relationship with the East China Sea Moying, so I vaguely revealed the matter of the Jizo scroll, although I didn't say it directly, but with Jiang Mantian's astuteness, I could naturally guess that I was talking about the Jizo scroll." โ
"Sir wants to tell Moying the whereabouts of the Jizo scroll through the Jiang family?" Qi Ning faintly understood, but immediately shook his head and said, "It's not Moying, it's ...... It's the owner of the East China Sea! โ
Zhuo Qingyang smiled slightly, and Qi Ning was even more surprised: "Why does Mr. think that the Jiang family will definitely tell Moying?" And Mr. revealed this information more than ten years ago, but why didn't Moying start until last year? There was a lot of doubt in his heart: "What is Moying's purpose in getting the Jizo Scroll?" โ
"Do you know the origin of the Jizo Scroll?" Zhuo Qingyang stared at Qi Ning and asked.
Qi Ning immediately remembered that when he first went to Eastern Qi, Ling Huxu, the prime minister of Eastern Qi, had mentioned the origin of the Dizang scroll to himself, knowing that Zhuo Qingyang and Master Kongzang were both first-class wise people today, in front of these two people, there was no need to play tricks, nodded slightly: "When I was in Eastern Qi, I heard Linghu Xu, the prime minister of Eastern Qi, mention it. Sir, it seems that Ling Huxu and you are old friends! โ
Zhuo Qingyang said with a smile: "He and I were in the same class back then, and they were senior brothers. โ
"He told me that this scroll was written by a duckweed monk, a genius of duckweed, who wrote four volumes, four volumes for heaven, earth, man and ghost, and its source is Hetuluo
The book has a lot to do with it, penetrates the cycle of heaven and earth, and provides insight into the past and future lives of people and ghosts. Qi Ning said: "The duckweed monk once boasted that the number of days hidden in this place is comparable to the mystery of King Wen's gossip. And the whereabouts of the Jizo Heavenly Book are hidden in the Jizo scrolls. โ
Zhuo Qingyang smiled: "Then after you get the Jizo scroll, what secrets can you discover?" โ
"This .......!" Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "Sir, the Jizo scroll is profound and difficult to understand, and I don't see at all whether it really contains the whereabouts of the Jizo Heavenly Book. โ
"Because there was no mention of the Jizo Heavenly Book in the first place." Zhuo Qingyang sighed: "Whether the Book of Heaven is in the world or not is still a big mystery, although the legend says that the duckweed monk wrote four volumes, but no one has seen any of the four volumes of the book of heaven, earth, man and ghost, let alone anyone knows its whereabouts." โ
Qi Ning was taken aback and said in shock: "That...... There's no whereabouts of the Jizo Heavenly Book in there? โ
"It's a question whether there is a Heavenly Book in the world, so how can we indicate the location of the Heavenly Book in the scroll?" Zhuo Qingyang said with a smile: "Even what I said to Jiang Mantian back then, I never mentioned the Heavenly Book ......!"
"I see." Qi Ning sighed: "Since there is no mention of the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven in the Jizo scroll, why does Ling Huxu want to tell that there are clues in it?" โ
Zhuo Qingyang said: "Because he was worried that you wouldn't be able to see the subtlety of the Jizo scroll for a while, and would abandon it, so he told him that you could use the scroll to find the Jizo Heavenly Book, I just hoped that you would think that the Jizo scroll was a priceless treasure and should be properly protected." โ
Qi Ning was stunned and said, "He was afraid that I would abandon the Jizo Scroll, so he made up a story to deceive me?" โ
Zhuo Qingyang sighed: "Senior Brother Linghu is cautious by nature, although I know that you will never do that, but Senior Brother is still not at ease. โ
"Wait a minute." Qi Ning raised his hand and thought of the key to it: "The Jizo scroll was instructed by Mr. to find it and give it to me for safekeeping, so how can I know about it when Hu Xu is far away in Eastern Qi?" And also made up a story out of it? Staring at Zhuo Qingyang's eyes, he felt more and more that there was a mystery in this: "Sir, has he always been in contact with Ling Huxu?" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and something suddenly came to mind: "Sir....... Did you deliberately put the Jizo Scroll in my hands? โ
"Although there is no mention of the whereabouts of the Book of Heaven in the Jizo Scroll, it is indeed the work of a duckweed monk, and there is no doubt about it." Zhuo Qingyang said: "To say that it is a priceless treasure is actually not a lie. Speaking of this, he slowly stretched out a hand, and only slowly opened his hand under Qi Ning's nose, Qi Ning didn't know what Zhuo Qingyang wanted, he looked down, but saw Zhuo Qingyang's hand, but there was a yellowed leaf, the leaf was not big, it looked like a very ordinary thin leaf, Qi Ning was a little strange, thinking what Zhuo Qingyang was doing with a leaf in his palm?
But soon he felt that something was wrong, the leaves seemed to be yellow leaves picked up from the forest at first glance, but under the light of the lights, there was obviously something wrong with that sรจze, exuding a faint halo, and there was a metallic texture.
At this moment, Master Kongzang suddenly stretched out his hand, spread his hand, and there was also a leaf in his palm, which was almost exactly the same as the leaf in Zhuo Qingyang's palm, but it was pure white, and Qi Ning was also well-informed, but he had never seen a white leaf.
One yellow and one white, two leaves, Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why.
