Murong Xi could see that after saying what he had just said, Elder Zheng's heart was struggling, as if he was thinking about whether to tell her the truth about the wooden box. However, Murong Xi knew that what made Elder Zheng struggle was not the truth, but how to make up a more appropriate lie. The more Elder Zheng did this, the more he proved that the secret in the wooden box was not simple.

Sure enough, when Elder Zheng listened to Murong Xi's words, he was silent for about a quarter of an hour. Murong Xi glanced at Elder Zheng and did not rush to urge Elder Zheng to speak.

After Elder Zheng came to his senses, he saw that Murong Xi was looking at him, so he coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.

"Ahem, I've told you everything I know. Since you plan to invite you back to the clan, naturally there is nothing to hide. Elder Zheng's eyes flashed, and he said with an unnatural expression.

Murong Xi nodded, knowing that Elder Zheng had decided to continue concealing it, so he asked, "Elder Zheng, I want to know where the wooden box is, after all, it is something left by the ancestors. When I find the box, I want to put it back in the burial chamber. ”

Murong Xi deliberately asked Elder Zheng about the whereabouts of the wooden box, but she knew that Elder Zheng would not tell her.

As Murong Xi expected, Elder Zheng didn't expect Murong Xi to ask her about the box, and after reacting, he said, "Girl, I won't tell you, since I got the wooden box, I haven't been able to sleep well for a day. As I think you've guessed, if the contents of the wooden box were known, a lot of people would covet them. Later, in order to prevent the contents of the wooden box from being snatched by people with bad intentions, I burned all the contents of the wooden box. ”

"Burned?" Murong Xi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Elder Zheng to think of a reason so quickly.

"That's right, I haven't had nightmares since the box burned." Elder Zheng said slowly.

Murong Xi nodded, knowing that there was no need to ask any more, so he spoke: "Then Elder Zheng will continue to stay in the secret room, but I will soon be able to return your freedom." ”

"Really?" Elder Zheng was a little surprised, he thought that Murong Xi would continue to trick himself, but he didn't expect that Murong Xi would only let himself live in the secret room temporarily.

"Well, someone will take care of your diet and daily life at that time, it's not too early, I'll go out first. By the way, if Elder Zheng remembers something, he can also have someone pass on to me. Murong Xi thought for a while and said.

"Okay."

Because Murong Xi didn't ask Elder Zheng again, when he answered, Murong Xi obviously felt Elder Zheng's relief.

Feng Mingye and Murong Xi left the secret room, and of course, Ji Limo, who was hiding halfway.

The three of them did not speak all the way and quickly returned to the bamboo house.

Feng Mingye was worried that Murong Xi had something uncomfortable, so he just sat down and said to Murong Xi: "Xi'er, I have been in the secret room for so long just now, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Don't be so nervous, there's nothing uncomfortable, but I'm hungry." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.

When Feng Mingye heard this, he hurriedly asked Mo'er to bring Murong Xi some pastries first. Mo'er had already prepared, not only serving a plate of pastries, but also three cups of fruit tea.

Murong Xi ate two pastries in a row before he spoke: "We all know that Elder Zheng is cunning, I didn't expect to be so cunning. He actually said that in order to prevent people with bad intentions from snatching the wooden box, he burned the wooden box. The person with the wrong heart in his mouth is actually himself. ”

"Didn't you already know who he was? I already guessed what he would say. Ji Limo smiled and said.

"I told him about our relationship the last time. However, he never believed it. Until just now, he was still stirring up a wedge between you and me. Murong Xi shrugged his shoulders and said.

Feng Mingye thought back to what Elder Zheng had said before he said, "Elder Zheng's purpose is already obvious, that is, I don't want you to ask him about the wooden box again. It can be seen how important the secret of the wooden box is to him. ”

"What are you going to do next?" Ji Limo asked leisurely.

"It seems that we can't ask anything, so let's just hand him over to Shigong. I wonder if he will tell the truth after seeing his master? Murong Xi said helplessly.

"I don't know if Elder Zheng will tell the truth, but don't forget that Master Gong is a descendant of the Yun Clan. Guess what Elder Zheng will do next? Feng Mingye said very calmly.

"Ah Ye, what do you mean to say......" Murong Xi didn't say it, but Feng Mingye had already nodded, proving that Murong Xi's guess was not wrong.

"That's right, he will say what he said to you to Shigong again. Because, he hopes that Shigong can return to the tribe. Ji Limo refuses to go back, and you are not a real descendant of the Yun family. I guess that only when the master goes back can the real purpose of Elder Zheng's return this time be achieved. Feng Mingye said with certainty.

Feng Mingye's words are very reasonable, and when he thinks about it, it seems that every time Elder Zheng sees Ji Limo, he is persuading him to return to the clan. But when she said that after Ji Limo fell into the Gu, she could also go back instead of Ji Limo, Elder Zheng didn't look forward to it so much.

"It seems that this elder should be handed over to the master. I think Shigong must have a way to deal with him. Murong Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and thought about it and said.

"Xi'er, since that's the case, you can rest well, don't worry about this. After the master meets Elder Zheng, he will look at it. Ji Limo said with a smile.

Murong Xi nodded, and then responded: "I know, then you can see when it is convenient, just take Elder Zheng to see the master." ”

"I think your master can't wait now, but it's inconvenient for me to let him see me, so it's more convenient for my master to go to the secret room." Ji Limo thought for a while and said.

"Xi'er, Ji Limo and I are by Shigong's side, you can rest assured. Why don't you sleep for a while, I think we'll be back before dinner." Feng Mingye comforted Murong Xi and said.

Feng Mingye knew that Murong Xi was worried about his master, after all, Elder Zheng would use Gu. In case the elders play yin and catch them off guard, they will be very passive. Murong Xi was pregnant, so naturally she couldn't follow her master to see Elder Zheng again.

Murong Xi nodded, then took out a porcelain bottle from the medicine box, and then said, "Before Master Gong goes in, let him take a pill first." ”

After Feng Mingye took the medicine bottle, he handed it to Ji Limo. He got up and helped Murong Xi into the inner room, so that she could rest for a while now. In the end, he followed Ji Limo out of the bamboo house.

The two of them entered Shigong's courtyard and saw Shigong sitting in the front hall drinking tea.

Shigong only saw the two of them, so he put down the teacup and said, "Where is Xi'er?" Nothing, right? ”

Feng Mingye said: "We came out of the secret room and sent Xi'er back to the bamboo house first. Elder Zheng's Gu poison has been cured, and Senior Master can go to see him at any time. ”

After listening to Feng Mingye's words, Shigong was really anxious to see him. He got up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go now." ”

"Master, Xi'er said that before meeting Elder Zheng, let you take the next pill first." After Feng Mingye finished speaking, he saw Ji Limo take out the medicine bottle and put it in Shigong's hand.

Shi Gong took the medicine bottle and poured out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, and then said, "Xi'er is still so careful, she is worried that Elder Zheng will give me a Gu." ”

"Master, are you going to take the Great Elder with you?" Feng Mingye thought for a while and asked.

"Forget it, let's wait until I see Elder Zheng first." Shigong wanted to meet with Elder Zheng first to see what he would say before making plans.

Feng Mingye nodded, then got up and took his master to the secret room.

"Gu Master, because Xi'er lied to him and said that I had Gu poison in my body, and I am now lying in the Fengtian Sect. So, I can't let the elders see me. When the time comes, I will hide in the shadows. Ji Limo said to his master as he walked.

Shi Gong didn't expect that Elder Zheng was not so bold that he would dare to give Wu Zun a Gu. How could Wu Zun fall for the Gu?

Shi Gong asked curiously, "Elder Zheng gave you a Gu?" Doesn't he know that you can't fall for Gu at all? ”

"Because he practiced witchcraft, he took advantage of the time when I abolished witchcraft for him. If it weren't for the fact that I poisoned myself in time, I'm afraid I would have really been hit. Even if Xi'er can solve the Gu for me, it will be exhaustive. Ji Limo simply told Shi Gong when Elder Zheng gave him a trick.

"You are right to make this decision, otherwise Elder Zheng will be very dangerous." Shigong said approvingly.

"Master, if you see Elder Zheng, you must be mentally prepared. Because of his sorcery practice, Elder Zheng's age looks like he is twenty years old at most. However, he was also counterattacked, but he didn't want to admit it. Feng Mingye suddenly remembered the appearance of Elder Zheng, and said to Shigong.

"I already know this, so I have prepared it in my heart. I didn't expect that there was a wooden box in the tomb of the ancestors, and that there was witchcraft and letters left by the ancestors in that wooden box. Shigong thought for a while and asked.

Feng Mingye thought for a while, and said to Shigong: "Master, in fact, we have some doubts, since the person in the tomb is actually the Wuzun of Fengtian Sect who has no ambitions, then how could he leave the wooden box?" ”

"So, do you think it was the Wu Zun of the Fengtian Sect who put the wooden box in the tomb after the ancestor died?" Shigong expressed his doubts.

"Well, Xi'er thinks so too, but these are also our guesses, after all, the ancestor has passed away, and it doesn't matter who left the wooden box anymore. However, there is more to the wooden box than just the letters and forbidden spells of the ancestors. A few of us also analyzed it, and there were very important things in the wooden box, but Elder Zheng didn't plan to tell us. Feng Mingye continued.

"Why do you think so? In addition to the letters and forbidden magic secrets left by the ancestors, why do you think there are other secrets in the wooden box? "Shigong didn't know why they felt this way, after all, Elder Zheng didn't say anything.

"Because Elder Zheng always uses this secret to tempt the descendants of the Yun clan to return to the clan, that's what he said to Ji Limo before. But later, Xi'er promised him that he would return to the tribe, but he was not so active. Therefore, Xi'er analyzed that Elder Zheng needed the descendants of the Yun clan to return to the clan. And the purpose of his return must be related to the secret left in the wooden box. Feng Mingye replied.

"That's the case, it seems that when I see him later, I will know what he has in mind." Shigong said leisurely.

When Shi Gong figured out the ins and outs, they also happened to enter the side courtyard and came to the entrance of the secret room.

Feng Mingye said softly to Master Gong before entering: "Master, we must be careful after entering, Elder Zheng is too cunning. ”
