Chapter 610: Elder Qu's Letter
After waking up the next day, Elder Feng looked solemnly at the letter in his hand.
When he opened the letter, the familiar handwriting came into his eyes. Elder Feng read Elder Qu's message very carefully, he regretted not being at the beginning, and he burst into tears in an instant.
Elder Qu had discovered the Great Elder's ambition in the early years, and it was his duty to guard the ancestral hall. And he didn't choose to tell Yun Feng, Yun Feng was still young at that time, even if he knew about it, he would be killed by the Great Elder. And several elders looked at the Great Elder, and he didn't know who to talk about it to. The only person he trusted was Ting'er, and he was angry and hateful about Elder Feng's behavior. Because Elder Feng had the best relationship with him, but he knew that Elder Feng was for Ting'er to cater to the Great Elder, and there were some things he still couldn't tell Elder Feng, not because he didn't trust Elder Feng's personality, but because he was worried that the Great Elder would use Ting'er to threaten Elder Feng.
He wrote this letter in the hope that once in a while, Ting'er would be able to find the letter and ask her to tell Yunfeng the contents of the letter.
Only then did Elder Feng know that as early as many years ago, the Great Elder had colluded with the mysterious person, and the mysterious person was actually the royal family of Northern Xinjiang, and it was Elder Qu who discovered their secret inadvertently. The Great Elder sells the poison he has refined to help the Mystery, and the Elder's request is not only money, but also hopes that if he wants to return to the tribe in the future, the Mystic will support him.
You must know that at that time, there was no Yin and Yang Gu at all, and the Great Elder was already so ambitious. It seems that he is now more confident that he can reclaim the Horde.
Elder Feng closed the letter, put it in his arms, and placed it in his arms. After thinking about it, he took the letter and went to Ting'er's yard. And before leaving, he put the book in his arms.
Elder Feng believed that the content of this letter must be told to Ting'er according to Elder Qu's intentions, and he believed that after Ting'er and Yun Feng discussed, they would definitely think of a solution.
Ting'er was obviously a little surprised to see that Elder Feng had come to her courtyard early in the morning. She lets Fluttershy serve tea, then blinks and laughs, "Why did Dad come early in the morning?" Don't you have to help Elder Zheng clean up Elder Qu's yard today? ”
When Elder Feng saw Ting'er's ghostly appearance, he knew that Ting'er might already know his intention of going to Elder Qu's courtyard.
Elder Feng took out the letter from his bosom, and then said to Ting'er: "In the past few days, I have accompanied Lao Zheng to clean up there, and I have indeed found some clues. However, these have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Gu King, but to find a secret room in Lao Qu's study. I was there at the time, and I found a book, and it had some news about the Ten Thousand Gu King. Then I went again in the middle of the night. No, found the letter. Ting'er, this letter was left to you by Lao Qu. ”
Ting'er heard Elder Feng's words, and said with a slight red eye: "I know the secret room in Elder Qu's study, and he also told me about the mechanism inside. It's just that I'm worried that if I go it alone, I'll attract the attention of the Great Elders. At that time, I still remember that you warned me not to go to Elder Qu's courtyard again, let alone to mention the matter of the Ten Thousand Gu King to anyone. Unexpectedly, his old man actually left a letter for me. I should have gone to the study earlier. If that's the case, I probably won't be able to play Gu on Senior Sister Ah Zi. ”
"You take a look at the content of this letter first, Lao Qu has long known about the conspiracy of the Great Elder, and he has long known that he may be poisoned, so he will write a letter to you in advance." Elder Feng handed the letter to Ting'er and said slowly.
Ting'er couldn't wait to pick up the letter and read it, the content on it made her want to kill the Great Elder now. The letter also mentioned the place where the Ten Thousand Gu King was hidden, but it was only because Elder Feng had met with Elder Qu that Elder Qu had first told Elder Feng about the place where the Ten Thousand Gu King was placed.
"Elder Qu has done his duty for the Medicine King Valley all his life, but the Great Elder was blinded by fame and fortune and killed him. Father, do you regret following the Great Elder for so many years? Ting'er thought for a while and said.
"Alas, if you say that you regret it, it won't be nothing, but it's worth it for so many years that my father has done this in exchange for your safety." Elder Feng said with a sigh.
Ting'er shook her head, she naturally knew that her father was worried about her safety and had done a lot. And for so many years, my father really didn't know the ambition of the Great Elder, and originally only thought that the Great Elder was just trading with a mysterious person to make some money.
"Father, you leave Ting'er to read this book slowly. You've worked hard these past few days, are you tired of cleaning up Elder Qu's yard? Ting'er said slightly.
"Fortunately, I heard Elder Zheng say that he would go to Lao Qu's courtyard almost every once in a while. But what I didn't expect was that it was so dirty that he couldn't get off his feet, he went to Lao Qu's courtyard and only cared about looking for the Ten Thousand Gu King, not only was it messy, the room was full of cobwebs, and the table was also covered with thick dust. Moreover, the secret room in the study was already discovered by Elder Zheng. Elder Feng said slowly.
"What? And what about the jar in the secret room? Did he take it with him? Ting'er asked in surprise.
Elder Feng shook his head first, and then said, "That was the first time Elder Zheng searched the courtyard, who knew that he had found the secret room by his ghost. But instead of taking all of them, he took only one. Who knew what happened later......" Elder Feng told Ting'er what happened when Elder Zheng returned to the medicine room.
Ting'er frowned and said to Elder Feng, "Before, Elder Qu instructed me not to open the jar in the secret room. The sealed Gu worms in the jar are all very dangerous, and Elder Qu is still refining and researching. This Zheng Elder was really greedy, and he actually wanted to keep these Gu worms for himself. It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to deal with it at all, so what happened back then. ”
"It's a pity that that one of his disciples died innocently." Elder Feng said with a sigh.
"By the way, father, there is a secret room in Elder Qu's medicine room, haven't you found it?" Ting'er said softly.
"Is there really a secret room in the medicine room? Elder Zheng said that he had been searching for so many years, but he had not found any clues in the medicine room. We cleaned up the medicine room for two days in a row, but we didn't find any secret rooms. I don't think if Elder Zheng found the secret room, he wouldn't have cleaned it around the medicine room. Elder Feng said with a frown.
Ting'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Fortunately, Elder Zheng didn't find anything, there are a lot of ancient books in it, all about Gu poison." If he finds it, I don't know how many people will be tested by him. ”
"Are there only books in the secret room?" Elder Feng asked.
"Well, there are a few Gu worms too. These Gu worms were all refined by Elder Qu from the altar, and Elder Qu spent a lot of thought. Therefore, it is even more impossible to be found by the Elder Zheng. Ting'er said softly.
"Well, anyway, Elder Qu's courtyard has almost been cleaned up, so I don't think I need to go anymore. If you have the chance, you can secretly go to the secret room and bring out some precious books Gu worms, I am worried that if you continue to search for this, Elder Zheng will find out. He was so greedy, even if he hadn't taken those Gu worms, he would have taken those books away. Elder Feng instructed.
"Father, you must be careful, the Great Elder is very suspicious, and anyone who is not careful will be tempted by him." Ting'er thought for a while and said.
"Don't worry, as long as you show that you no longer want to marry Yunfeng, I don't think he will have any doubts anymore." Elder Feng said.
"No, father. Come to think of it, I've been stubborn since I was a child, and if I compromise so quickly this time, it will make people suspicious. It's better to go with the flow, you don't have to deliberately talk about it, if the Great Elder asks about you, you sigh and show very helplessness, I think the Great Elder has a number in his heart. Ting'er said thoughtfully.
"It's still Ting'er who understands the Great Elder, but she is too anxious for her father, which makes people suspicious." Elder Feng said.
After Elder Feng left the book, he went back. In the eyes of the other elders, Elder Feng Xu just went to Ting'er's courtyard to persuade her not to put her mind on Yun Feng's body.
Ting'er stays in the room, and Fluttershy walks in and says, "Miss, is something happening again?" ”
"Luckily, you don't have to worry about that. You pack up in the next few days, and then go back to the village first. When it's over, I'll let you come back. Ting'er thought for a while and said.
"Miss, is something going to happen to the Medicine King Valley? In that case, Fluttershy can't leave and leaves you alone. Fluttershy says disagree.
"Fluttershy, it's very dangerous for you to stay here, and I'm afraid you'll be taken advantage of. It's better that you take advantage of this time to go back first, and then we will meet again after the matter is over. You are obedient and don't distract me. Ting'er said slowly.
"Fluttershy won't betray Miss, is Miss worried that I'll betray you?" Fluttershy says more anxiously.
"Fluttershy, a lot has happened lately. I know you won't betray me, but there are some things that you can't help yourself. If you are poisoned by Gu, you will not be conscious at all, and after being controlled by others, you will turn against me. You say, when you're sober, do you want to see yourself like this? Ting'er won't tell Fluttershy the details, so she'll have to stop there.
However, Fluttershy understands Ting'er's words, after all, she also learned how to refine Gu with Ting'er. Gu poison is still very mysterious to her.
She knew that the Medicine King Valley had been looking very calm recently, but the dark tide was turbulent. What Ting'er said is not wrong, if she was tricked by someone and used herself to kill Ting'er, then after she sobers up, she won't regret her death?
Fluttershy nodded, then said, "Okay, I'll pack up and go down the mountain in the next few days, you have to take care of yourself." I will be waiting for you in the village, you must be safe. ”
Ting'er knows that Fluttershy cares about herself, and she smiles, "Don't you know what I'm capable of?" You can rest assured, only if you are all safe, I will deal with things here with peace of mind. Now, I just hope that things will end soon, and that the Medicine King Valley will quickly return to its former calm. ”
"Okay." Fluttershy nods.
Ting'er said softly: "I want to sleep for a while, you can also go back to your room to rest." ”
Fluttershy turns and goes out, and Ting'er leans against the soft collapse and doesn't feel sleepy, but picks up the book and studies it carefully.
