98, Secret Passage
When the national teacher entered the main hall, he saw Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou bowing with incense in front of the only table dedicated to Tianzun.
His cheeks twitched, and he was silent for a moment, and when the two of them stood up, he stepped forward with a gentle face.
After Xin Yi left, after he calmed down, he thought about it carefully, in fact, he should have let Xin Yi enter the Jade Immortal Hall a long time ago.
In the past, he didn't let other addresses in, because he was afraid that they would find out the secret that he didn't know and do something unfavorable to him.
But now, he should let Xin Yi in and help him find it.
Judging from his observation of Xin Yi, Senior Sister Weiyun really didn't teach this disciple anything about the art of the Dao Gate.
Then, even if Xin Yi found that secret, he didn't have to be afraid at all.
Moreover, Xin Yi was so eager to enter the Jade Immortal Palace, he must have wanted to find clues about Senior Sister Weiyun.
At this point, he can be bold and rest assured, after all, Senior Sister Weiyun is indeed not in the Jade Immortal Palace, so he is not afraid of Xin Yi entering to find it.
"Senior nephew, this Jade Immortal Palace has always been so simple, if you feel bad, Uncle Shi can help you change places......"
He knew that he had always held opposing opinions, and if he rashly changed his attitude, Xin Yi would definitely find the clue, so he put on a gentle face and made words that were very concerned but opposed.
Xin Yi naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw the mask of the national teacher, he was suddenly a little impatient.
"Uncle Shi, it's very good here, thank you Uncle Shi for your concern, since everyone used to meditate here, I can too."
"By the way, Uncle Shi, when are you going to retreat?"
The national teacher hesitated for a moment, and under Xin Yi's confident gaze, he finally spoke, "...... in five days"
Xin Yi smiled and turned to look at Xiao Yuanyou, "Fifth brother, let's take a look?" ”
Xiao Yuanyou naturally agreed.
The national teacher's heart jumped, look, look, it's best to see the secret.
He stared closely at the backs of Xin Yi and Xiao Yuanyou, but unfortunately, the two of them always followed one by one, one said a few words from time to time on the side, and didn't move anything at all, as if they were just looking.
The national teacher kept telling himself in his heart that he was not in a hurry or in a hurry, there was always a way to find it.
Xin Yi took Xiao Yuanyou to look around, and then went to the national teacher to give a salute, "The master and nephew will retire first, there are still some things to deal with in the world, and I will look back tomorrow." ”
Seeing her follow Xiao Yuanyou out of the palace gate, the national teacher stood quietly for a long time, and shouted loudly, "Someone is coming." ”
Is this dead girl really not found anything at all? Sure enough, it was a big straw bag, and Senior Sister Weiyun didn't know how she was blind and accepted her as an apprentice.
Did Senior Sister Weiyun tell her the secret of Chaotian Temple?
……
Xin Yi followed Xiao Yuanyou out of Chaotianguan, and on the carriage, Xiao Yuanyou asked her,
"I'm going to get something from the Drunken Spring Pavilion and then go back to the house, do you want to come with me?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xin Yi shouted happily, originally the two were sitting opposite each other, but immediately she jumped over, sat next to Xiao Yuanyou, and held his hand.
I probably felt a little embarrassed like this, and hurriedly let go.
Xiao Yuanyou held her thin white hand, looked ahead, and said in a low voice, "No one sees it." ”
Xin Yi pursed his lips and smiled, as if he was a little mouse who had stolen rice, and he was secretly happy.
When he arrived at the Drunken Spring Pavilion, Xin Yi followed him to the room on the second floor of the backyard.
This is not the first time Xin Yi has come, but it is the first time to carefully look at the layout of Xiao Yuanyou's house.
The whole room looks exactly like Xiao Yuanyou's feeling.
Apathetic and uninteresting.
There are no elaborate and ornate decorations, and there is not even a vase in it.
The Duobao Pavilion is full of hard stones and the like.
Xiao Yuanyou first asked people to bring a basin of water in, twisted a handkerchief and handed it to Xin Yi, signaling her to wipe her face, wash her hands and so on.
After Xin Yi finished washing, he pointed to a cage in the corner,
"It's all for you, you go take a look, I'll take a bath."
Xin Yi nodded, didn't care about him, and walked to the cage by himself, the cage was really big, if Xin Yi squatted in it and didn't approach, she couldn't see her at all.
This crate is full of things, and there are all kinds of ancient curiosities in it, and it should have taken Xiao Yuanyou a lot of time to fill it.
Xin Yi touched it the same, and her heart was very happy, she also saw the same gem as the sapphire in her hand, colorful.
I don't know where the fifth brother got it from.
However, she thinks that the string of blue on her wrist is the most beautiful, because it was carved by the fifth brother himself.
"Slightly ......" Just as Xin Yi was immersed in the strange play in the cage, a hesitant, nice voice came from behind him.
When she turned around, she saw Yan leaning against the door like a nameless and boneless person.
"Lord Yan." Xin Yi was a little surprised, thinking that when Grandma passed away, and when she was tied up, Yan Wuming helped a lot.
She smiled, "Long time no see, Lord Yan, thank you." ”
Yan Wuming was dressed in ordinary crimson clothes, standing there, like a bright moon, if his posture was better and his face was not so pale.
I saw him with a faint smile on his face, "I've been to the palace several times, but I haven't seen you, isn't it Xiao Yuanyou who hid you?" ”
Obviously, Xiao Yuanyou is his senior brother, but he rarely hears him called 'senior brother', and he has always been 'Xiao Yuanyou' and 'Xiao Yuanyou'.
Xin Yi pursed his lips and smiled, "No." ”
She is busy in Fengyi Palace, she has to accompany the fifth brother, and she also has to accompany Niangniang and Saitama.
Yan Wuming straightened up and walked inside, gesturing as he walked,
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but Weiwei has grown a lot taller, and she used to be less tall than my thighs."
In fact, this is an exaggeration, Xin Yi is not a child, and she is tall with the Xin family.
"What is she going to do touching your thighs?" Xiao Yuanyou's voice sounded behind him.
As soon as Yan Wuming turned around, he saw Xiao Yuanyou's cold face.
"Are you still the same Xiao Yuanyou as before? You've changed, brother, you're not my brother. Yan Wuming was heartbroken.
"I'm just making an analogy, you...... What are you doing so stingy. ”
Isn't he just a metaphor with a bit of exaggeration? What the hell is going on with this vinegar jar?
Will Xiao Yuanyou be like this in the past? Because he was tied up when he was a child, and when he said he was married for the first time, the sticky and greasy attitude of the girl in the women's family made Xiao Yuanyou not look good at women.
He used to look at a woman only once, "Trouble." ”
There are two words written all over his body, forbidden...... Desire......
Now, Yan Wuming just wants to sneer!
Xiao Yuanyou raised his eyebrows, standing beside Xin Yi, a gesture of sanitation, so that Yan Wuming couldn't help but shake his hand, looked at the weather outside, sighed,
"Hey, this summer hasn't come yet, why do you feel red and heartbeat."
Xiao Yuanyou said lightly, "Spring, a man without a fiancée is inevitable." ”
Yan Nameless, "......"
He couldn't help but slap the table, "Xiao Yuanyou, you're enough!" You haven't married yet, what's the difference between having a fiancée or not! ”
I'm angry!
Xiao Yuanyou raised his hand and touched Xin Yi's head, faintly, "I have a fiancée, it's comfortable to look at." ”
There is no attitude that I hated to stay away when I saw a woman before.
Yan Wuming wants to smash the table!
It's amazing to have a fiancée!
Well, he doesn't have a fiancée, fortunately he is leaving the capital again, otherwise he will have to remove half of his life when he sees Xiao Yuanyou's smug face all day long.
Yan is not famous, and accused,
"Xiao Yuanyou, we are also brothers who grew up together in open crotch pants, and we ...... at the beginning"
Forget it, the past is unbearable.
Xiao Yuanyou was very calm and slow, "I'm sorry, I didn't wear open crotch pants since I was a child, only you still wet the bed at the age of six." ”
Yan Wuming gritted his teeth, his eyes breathed fire, "If you have a fiancée, you can throw knives and stab people's hearts?"
"That is, it's the same everywhere, the knife, thrown indiscriminately, but you pierced it, what does it mean...... I can't help it. ”
Yan Nameless, "......"
He felt that he couldn't tolerate this world anymore, he really wanted to beat people, and he didn't know where the wedding date was, so he dared to be so shy!
Hum!
Yan Wuming, who was stabbed in the heart by a knife, ignored Xiao Yuanyou in the Drunken Spring Pavilion and kept putting the knife at him, rubbed a meal, drank half a pot of wine, and finally left slowly.
During this period, because Yan Wuming was going out for a long time, Xiao Yuanyou also drank some wine, and he didn't drink much, so he became drunk.
Yan Wuming is not only famous in Silutang, but also in the capital, and there are few cases he handles that cannot be solved, which is why he is known as the pearl of Beijing together with Xiao Yuanyou.
I came to Drunken Spring Pavilion today, but I heard that Xiao Yuanyou and Xin Yi were out of the palace, so I came to try my luck and wanted to have a parting wine.
I didn't expect it to happen.
It will be a long time before this farewell is seen.
After Yan Wuming left, Xin Yi asked Xiao Yuanyou, "Isn't the Yan family also a family, why is Lord Yan so desperate?" He's out, isn't it dangerous? ”
Xiao Yuanyou lowered his eyes and did not speak.
The boy is alive, when he makes meritorious contributions, he scolds Fang Xuan, Yan Wuming, as a child of the Yan family, is outstanding in learning, and it is easy to get a good position, gangster qualifications, and then return to the capital, and he can also have a good position in the sixth department.
It is not impossible to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, but this is not the life that Yan Wuming wants.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the Four Laws Hall and done those things.
However, everyone has their own ambitions, Xiao Yuanyou will not persuade anything, just like him, he will also do thankless things, Yan Wuming will not persuade him, and they are both helping each other when they need help.
Xiao Yuanyou poured a cup of tea for Xin Yi,
"It's okay, he's been walking around all these years, and he has his own set of experience."
The two sat down for a while, and Xin Yi suddenly spoke, "Fifth brother, are you jealous?" ”
It didn't seem that he would be right to Yan Wuming's nose before, not nose and eyes, when did it start?
"Ahem." Xiao Yuanyou was eating tea and was shocked by the earth-shattering cough.
Xin Yi hurriedly got up to help him pat his back, and said,
"Fifth brother, it doesn't make sense for you to eat so jealously, how could Lord Yan take a fancy to me."
Xiao Yuanyou's throat was itching, she didn't know that Yan Wuming really had the idea of asking for marriage.
He looked at the sky, "I'll send you back, and I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to Chaotianguan." ”
Xin Yi nodded, got up and followed him out of the door.
Sending Xin Yi to the door, Xiao Yuanyou returned to his house.
Xin Yi went to the old lady's side to say goodbye first, and then prepared to go back to his yard, but he didn't expect the maid from Xu's side to come over, saying that Xu wanted Xin Yi to come over to talk.
Originally, Xu's body was not good, but he was still able to get up and move around, since the bad news of Ming Yushan came, Xu's whole person was not good, and it can be described as terminally ill.
If it weren't for the Xin family's lot of good medicine, the Xu family's funeral would have been held long ago.
The queen of the palace knew that Xu's health was not good, so she repeatedly sent the imperial doctor over, but the imperial doctor was helpless, and the physical pain was easy to treat.
just asked the people of the Xin family to follow her a little more.
Speaking of which, Xin Yi began to be injured himself, and later Xiao Yuanyou was punished, and rarely appeared in front of Xu.
This will send someone to invite you, Xin Yi thought about it, and followed the maid over.
The strong smell of medicine lingered in the house, coupled with the fact that the wind could not be seen, and the doors and windows were closed, which made people feel depressed.
When the maids in the main courtyard saw Xin Yi coming, they all greeted him one after another.
The housewife in the courtyard left at some point, and the maids were all sad, and they were also worried about the future.
Xin Yi walked to the side of the bed and saw Xu lying on the bed, his cheeks were sunken, his face was blue, and there was no blood at all.
"Can you eat today?" Xin Yi asked.
The maid said, "Madame just drank ginseng soup and medicine." ”
Xin Yi frowned and looked at Xu quietly, unable to tell how he felt now.
This is the person who gave birth to her, she has her blood in her veins, but she didn't raise her for a day, and later, because of anger, because of partiality, all kinds of pickiness about her.
After looking at it for a while, he saw that Xu was still asleep, and it seemed that he couldn't speak, so he turned around and ordered the maid,
"Take good care of Madame, just send someone to say what you want."
The maids should be.
Xin Yi nodded, turned around and prepared to leave.
"Shan'er......" The voice was like a gossamer.
Xu's lips opened and closed, making a faint sound.
She was shouting at Ming Yushan, but Ming Yushan had already fallen off the cliff, and the bones gnawed by the beast were gone.
After calling twice, Xu's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes and said in a dumb voice,
"Jue'er, is your sister back?"
As she spoke, she spotted Xin Yi standing not far away.
Her eyes widened, and a huge joy surged in her eyes, "Shan'er, Shan'er, have you come to see your mother?" ”
She struggled to sit up, but her whole body was soft and had no strength at all, so she could only look at Xin Yi eagerly and keep calling,
"Shan'er, come here, Shan'er, my mother misses you so much."
Xin Yi raised his feet and walked over.
Xu grabbed Xin Yi's hand, tears rolled down,
"Shan'er, my mother is wrong, my mother shouldn't be so used to you, my mother should teach you well, my mother is wrong, my mother knows it's wrong."
Xin Yi lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Shi holding his hand, skinny, skinny, and skinny, looking like an old woman's hand.
Big tears fell on the hands of the two of them.
As if tears had washed her mind away, Xu raised her eyes, her lips trembled, "It's a slight ......"
Xin Yi nodded lightly, after all, she gave birth to her.
Xu Shi looked at Xin Yi carefully, his eyes swirled around her face, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his mind, and grabbed Xin Yi's hand tightly,
"I'm sorry, Weiwei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you."
In the end, she was already in tears, and in her life, she was most sorry for this daughter.
In infancy, he was sent away and did not raise for a day.
When she grew up, she preferred to be by her side all the year round, so she did a lot of things that people didn't like.
Xin Yi looked at the tearful Xu Shi silently.
"In the next life, in the next life, my mother will definitely compensate you well." Xu couldn't cry.
Xin Yi didn't think so, if she had a next life, she didn't need her compensation, she just wanted to be a stranger with her.
Xu was too weak, this crying consumed most of her energy, Xin Yi helped her to lie on the bed, slowly broke it open, and helped her cover the quilt.
"Weiwei, if you go to Chaotianguan to be a female Taoist, how can you marry someone in the future." Xu lay there, worried about Xinyi's future.
Xin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, "You can marry someone who looks at the sky." The fifth brother didn't mind either. ”
Even the emperor and empress didn't mind.
The fifth brother went to the emperor to get the will to enter the Jade Immortal Palace, which means that the emperor must understand what she wants to do.
If he still gives her the will, it is acquiesced.
Xu Shi moved her lower lip, and wanted to say something, but the maid standing next to her pulled her clothes.
Xu Shi just looked at Xin Yi and didn't speak again, and after a while, her face was full of tears,
"Weiwei, mother, please talk to your grandmother, is it good to do a legal event for Shan'er at home, and Jue'er, my mother wants to see him before she dies."
She looked at Xin Yi with some despair, staring at her expectantly, hoping that she would agree.
She burst into tears, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw,
"Mother please, please, please, grandmother, okay?"
Xin Yi cried and laughed in her heart, she once said that she had no heart and no lungs, but she was not ruthless and unrighteous.
Just now, Xu Shi held her hand and cried silently, saying that she would compensate her in the next life, and she was not unmoved.
Right now......
Xu knew that she was sorry for Xin Yi like this, but she couldn't help it, if she didn't do this, Yushan would only become a lonely ghost and couldn't be reincarnated.
She no longer had the luxury of erecting a monument to Yushan in the Xin family's cemetery, but just did a ritual to bring her soul back.
Xin Yi's fingertips spasmed uncontrollably, and she clenched her fists, not wanting people to find out.
She thinks things in the world are really funny.
Sad?
She didn't know.
She kind of wanted to laugh.
Xu Shi watched Xin Yi's facial muscles tremble, as if crying instead of laughing, and suddenly embarrassed, guilty, helpless, and all kinds of emotions attacked her like a tsunami.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" she didn't know what to say.
"Just this time, just this time, my mother will definitely compensate you well in the next life."
Xin Yi looked at Xu fixedly, "Not good." ”
"I can't say it."
"Your compensation, I'm not rare. Ming Yushan is surnamed Ming, and her own Ming family takes care of all the aftermath for her. ”
"It's too late for you to do things for her now, and to summon her spirits."
"Mother, not all compensation is useful, everyone is responsible for their own actions, some things can get by, some things can't."
"She has already harmed a girl from the Xin family, do you want another one to be harmed by her?"
Xu, "......"
Her eyes widened and she looked at Xin Yi in disbelief, and when she touched her gaze, she shivered solidly.
What my daughter knows, my daughter always knows.
There was a bang in her ears, and all the strength in her body was drained, and she collapsed there.
"Mother, you are used to Ming Yushan like that, she should bear all the consequences, it's not that she hasn't been given a chance, as long as she stays in the old mansion of the Ming family in peace, as long as her two brothers and sisters keep to themselves, then, everything will be different."
"In the end, the uncle of the Ming family has a life-saving grace for his father, even if the brothers and sisters of the Ming family go out, will his father really ignore her?"
"You probably don't know that my father has actually looked for several students in Shancheng Academy, although the family is poorer, but he has a good character.
As long as Ming Yushan sincerely repents, his father will choose one of them, and in the future, Ming Yushan may be able to be an official's wife, and his husband and wife will be noble. “
"But Ming Yushan himself can't wait that long."
"You are used to her like that, why should I bear all this? Because you gave birth to me? ”
"If the father is not kind, the son is not filial, if the brother is not a friend, the brother is disrespectful, you are not a loving mother, and Ming Yushan is not a good sister, why should I and my sister be filial daughters and sisters?"
"I'm not a saint and I don't want to be a saint."
Xu's whole person was in chaos.
"Mother, I know you can't stand it, but today I still want to say, whether I can be a female Taoist priest or not, whether I can marry or not, you better don't care, take care of your body."
"In the past, you didn't care about me, but now it's better to leave it alone."
"Everybody's at ease, isn't it?"
"If you go and tell your grandmother to do good things for Mingyu, maybe your grandmother will agree, but you have to be smart and go around from me."
Xin Yi had tears in her eyes, she turned her face away, gave Xu a hasty salute, and left the main courtyard in a hurry.
Xu's eyes were full of despair, and she didn't know whether she listened to it, or she didn't have the strength, so she lay there motionless.
It wasn't until a long time that I slowly rolled my eyes, and suddenly said to the maid next to me, "I want to eat porridge." ”
This is something that has not happened since I was sick.
Xin Yi, who left, naturally didn't know Xu's movements, her eyes were full of sadness, she returned to the courtyard, and picked up the piece of the master's token left by Weiyun Zhenren to her, half a piece of jade.
She hung the jade jue on her body and put it close to her body, as if she was by the master's side like this, comforting her.
It doesn't matter, she keeps telling herself that she still has a master, a grandmother, a grandmother, a sister, a younger brother, and a fifth brother.
She also has many, many and does not envy.
In the early morning of the next day, Xin Yi said goodbye to the old lady and followed Xiao Yuanyou back to Chaotianguan.
On this day, it was naturally extremely busy, and in the evening, Xin Yi sneaked away the breeze and bright moon, changed into simple clothes, and quietly waited for Xiao Yuanyou's arrival.
Today is the time they agreed to go to the Jade Immortal Hall at night.
They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the national teacher had not yet entered the Jade Immortal Hall to meditate, and find the secret first.
Xiao Yuanyou had already explored the Jade Immortal Hall once, where there was a bright whistle and where there was a dark whistle, all of them were explored, and he entered the Jade Immortal Hall with Xin Yi very smoothly.
As soon as she entered the Jade Immortal Palace, Xin Yi went straight to the special lampholder, she put down the oil lamp, took out the half of the jade pendant from her neck, and rested it on the shelf, the jade pendant was sunken in, and with a click, the wall behind her moved, revealing a small door.
Xin Yi took down the jade pendant, put the oil lamp back as it was, and then followed Xiao Yuanyou into the secret passage.
All the furnishings of Qingqiu's division are exactly the same as Chaotianguan, and Qingqiu also has such a secret passage, which Xin Yi has explored countless times.
This time, as if it was as familiar as the countless times before, Xiao Yuanyou had already prepared the fire fold, and there was still an oil lamp on the wall.
The oil lamp on the bright side is not usable, Xin Yi has already prepared, took out the prepared lamp and candle and lit it, and with the faint candlelight, the two began to slowly explore the way inside.
It's been a long time since anyone came, and it was filled with this foul smell.
Xiao Yuanyou took out a handkerchief and asked Xin Yi to cover his nose.
The two of them whimsical all the way, "Where is this leading?" Xiao Yuanyou asked.
Xin Yi shook her head, although she knew this secret passage, she didn't know where she was going.
She whispered, "Fifth brother, you said that the two of us don't look like elopements like ...... now."
Xiao Yuanyou touched her head, but smiled silently.
This stupid girl, obviously already has a marriage contract, why not elope.
kept walking, and finally came across a place that was different from the secret passage of the Qingqiu Master, and the two were blocked by a wall.
After walking around, there was no exit, Xin Yi moved the lamp holder on the wall and the like, but he didn't find any mechanism.
Xiao Yuanyou's ears were excellent, and he suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the wall.
This is clearly the voice of the national teacher.
