Chapter 942: Elder Qu

The old man jumped out of the window with a flask in his hand and entered the house.

"Since senior brother can't sleep, why don't we have a drink together?" The old man said with a smile.

Shi Gong glanced at the old man, and sat back on the soft collapse.

The old man sat down with his master, picked up two cups, and filled them with wine. The old man looked at his master, took a sip first, and then said to his master: "Senior brother, you seem to have something on your mind." ”

After looking at the old man, the master picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said to the old man: "There are so many things in Xuanmen Villa, all because of me. You say, can I still sleep at this time? ”

The old man could see that the master's eyes were full of self-blame, but now that everything had happened, it was useless to blame himself. It's better to cooperate with Xi'er and see if there is anything that can help.

The old man pursed his lips and said, "Okay, senior brother, when did you become so sentimental?" If you have this time, you might as well think about how to help Xi'er, what's the use of you blaming yourself here? ”

How could Shigong not know that self-blame is useless? Isn't it because you can't help?

"You're right, I know I shouldn't blame myself at this time. However, so many things happened in Xuanmen Villa, and we didn't help at all. Xi'er was always worried that we would be tricked, and even the Great Elder was taken to the bamboo house. Shi Gong muttered.

"Now that Xi'er's Gu poison has been cured, let's take the Great Elder to Senior Brother's courtyard. By the way, Xi'er's Gu poison has been resolved, and Elder Zheng is now being counterattacked. Tomorrow, let's ask Xi'er if she has any plans. The old man said.

"Wu Zun and Ah Chen's Gu poison has not been resolved, Xi'er will not move Elder Zheng." Shigong said.

"Senior brother, what did Elder Zheng do for wanting Xi'er's life so much. Fortunately, Xi'er has a big life, otherwise he would have ...... it a long time ago" The old man didn't dare to think about it, because it would be too cruel to think about it any longer.

"Xi'er is now the valley master of the Medicine King Valley, if Elder Zheng wants to get the Medicine King Valley, he must attack Xi'er first. At the beginning, let Xi'er come back with Elder Zheng, but he was a little curious about how he had lived for so many years. Who knows, he actually has so many secrets. Shi Gong said simply.

"Senior brother, I don't think you have to blame yourself, it should be the ancestors who should blame yourself." The old man pouted and said.

Shi Gong obviously didn't understand why the old man suddenly said this, raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man, waiting for the old man to continue.

The old man said, "Why did the ancestors leave that wooden box in the tomb for no reason? If the wooden box was not left, even if Elder Zheng left the Medicine King Valley alive, he would not be able to obtain the forbidden technique in the wooden box. Of course, it is even more impossible to live until now. Therefore, it is only because the ancestor seems to be okay and left the wooden box in the tomb that it happens. You say, shouldn't it be the ancestors who should blame themselves? "What the old man said was so vibrating that the master couldn't refute it.

"I didn't think that the ancestor would have thought that the person who kowtowed to him was actually a sinister and cunning person. Moreover, no one thought that the ancestors of the Medicine King Valley and the Fengtian Sect were exchanged. It must be another who is unwilling to stay in the Central Plains and will leave a wooden box in the ancestral tomb. Shi Gong said simply.

"The ancestor was an ambitious man, otherwise he would not have left a wooden box. It's just that he missed one thing. That is, the person who got the wooden box, a treacherous villain. So, how good is it to leave all those forbidden techniques and things to be said in Fengtian Sect, why is it so complicated? The old man muttered.

"How could it be such a coincidence, the cave collapsed, and the elder ran out, and ran down the cave to the tomb, how could there be such a coincidence?" The old man frowned slightly and said puzzled.

Shigong shook his head. I poured myself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Senior brother, Elder Zheng shouldn't be telling the truth. The Great Elder and the Elder Zheng were both in the cave in the back mountain, where there was still some distance from the ancestral tomb. Think about it. Even if the cave collapsed and revealed the hole, how could it go straight to the tomb of the ancestors? Shigong thought for a while and said.

In the past few days, Shigong has repeatedly pondered what Elder Zheng said, and he always feels that something is not right.

"You mean to say that Elder Zheng didn't go straight to the tomb from the cave at all? Did you run out of the cave and then go to the tomb of your ancestors? The old man asked in surprise.

"The cave collapse should not have been accidental, it was man-made. Maybe the hole can't be connected to the cave at all, just near the back mountain. Elder Zheng was not an advanced burial chamber, but first went outside to kill a person and sent him back to the cave, and then went to the burial chamber to take the wooden box. Shi Gong analyzed.

"Senior brother, I understand. You mean, he knew the secrets of the Ancestral Chambers long before their plan failed. I believe that even if their plan had succeeded at that time, the Great Elder would probably have been planted in the hands of the Elder. After the incident, Elder Zheng was imprisoned in the cave by us, and he never had the opportunity to go to the tomb to take his things away, so he spent the past few years in the cave planning how to escape from the cave. Even after the Great Elder had cheated to death, Elder Zheng still thought of a way to leave the cave. The old man listened to his master's words and suddenly realized.

"Well, that's right. Even if they managed to return to the clan, the Great Elder would be calculated by the Elder. Elder Zheng's ambition did not start after getting the wooden box, it should be said that he was full of desire before that. Shi Gong continued.

"Senior brother, do we need to tell Xi'er about this matter as soon as possible, so that they can also be prepared. I've always felt that something was wrong with this elder. After the old man drank the wine in the cup, he said to his master.

"Well, it's too late, we'll break it down tomorrow and we'll tell them about it. What about you? Come to me so late with it, can't you sleep? Shigong asked in a muttered voice.

"Ahem, I'm just lying on the bed, a little unsure. I always feel that Elder Zheng will not be so easy to be counterattacked, and after the counterattack, will there be a follow-up? So, the more I thought about it, the more I couldn't sleep, thinking about seeing what my senior brother was doing. Who knows, my brother can't sleep like me. The old man shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I've drunk the wine and said it, isn't it time to go back to sleep?" Shigong asked.

"It's driving me away." The old man pursed his lips, drank the rest of the wine, and left his master's house.

Shigong looked at the wine in the cup, and after drinking it all, he went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, the master and the old man were worried that they would not be able to touch Murong Xi, so after breakfast, they went to the bamboo house.

Feng Mingye and Murong Xi were very surprised when they heard that Shigong had come early in the morning. After inviting the master and the old man into the backyard, Murong Xi asked, "Master, have you eaten, old man?" ”

"After eating, I was afraid that you would solve the Gu for Bailichen early in the morning, so I was in a hurry to come over with my junior brother." Shigong said anxiously.

"What's making you so anxious? Come on in. Murong Xi said to his master and the old man.

Shi Gong nodded, and the two of them entered the house, and Feng Mingye let people come in with tea.

Shigong took a sip of tea and said, "I've been thinking about something these past few nights, and after discussing it with my junior brother last night, I think I should talk to you." ”

Murong Xi knew that his master must be in a hurry, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry. So, he opened his mouth and said, "Master, you slowly say that you are not in a hurry, and the time for Bailichen to solve the Gu is set in the afternoon." ”

After hearing this, Shigong breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this matter could not be explained in a sentence or two. Shigong took another sip of tea, and then said, "Xi'er, this matter is about Elder Zheng. Elder Zheng told you that because the cave collapsed, he saw a hole in the ground by chance, and then ran down the cave to the tomb of the ancestors, right? ”

Murong Xi nodded and replied, "That's right, that's what Elder Zheng said to us. Isn't that so? ”

Shigong nodded and said, "When he mentioned the past during that time, he said the same thing. Xi'er, didn't you suspect that what happened to Elder Zheng was too coincidental? ”

"At that time, I just thought that Elder Zheng had accumulated a lot of virtue in his previous life to be so lucky to run out of the cave after the cave collapsed. Moreover, not only to live, but also to get what was left by the ancestors. Master, to put it irreverently, after listening to Elder Zheng's experience at that time, I only felt that the ancestor had done more than that, and he had cheapened this treacherous villain. However, I just think it's strange, how could a person like Elder Zheng think of kowtowing to the ancestors at that time? Murong Xi said suspiciously.

Murong Xi thought that Elder Zheng was able to run out of the cave in the ground, and if he didn't leave the Medicine King Valley as soon as possible, how could he be so familiar with the tomb, and suddenly feel that the ancestor was blessing him?

"What you said is not wrong, these experiences of the elders are not a coincidence. I've been pondering this for the past few days, and he's probably learned the secrets of the tomb long before the plan was implemented. I suspect that even if their plan succeeds and they can return to the clan, Elder Zheng will not let go of this opportunity. It can also be said that at that time, the elders began to calculate the Great Elders. Once their plan succeeded, how could the Elders be willing to be subservient to the Great Elders? The master briefly told Murong Xi what he and the old man analyzed last night.

"What you mean is that if the plan is successful, Elder Zheng will get the wooden box before the Hui tribe, and when the time comes, he will wait for the Hui tribe to find the secret left in the box. Unfortunately, their plan failed and I was imprisoned in a cave. Presumably, at that time, Elder Zheng was glad that he was not so anxious, if he had obtained the wooden box in advance, he would definitely have been discovered by us. The cave collapsed, I am afraid it was also his plan, and after escaping from the cave, he killed a person and changed his clothes and sent him back to the cave. After doing all this, he took advantage of the chaos to go to the ancestral tomb, entered the ancestral tomb, and took the wooden box. Murong Xi analyzed.

"That's right, that's what I meant. We have all entered the burial chamber of our ancestors, and we have not found any entrance to the cave at all. Elder Zheng said that he had blocked the entrance to the cave, but I didn't believe him at all. There was no trace of any sign in the chamber that led to the cave, so I felt that something was wrong. The teacher said openly.

"It's even stranger if that's the case. Elder Zheng didn't get the wooden box by chance, but he knew the secret early on. But how did he know? Murong Xi couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

"The secret is in the Medicine King Valley, at that time, Elder Zheng never left the Medicine King Valley at all. Wait a minute...... Could it be that where did he find the secret? Elder Zheng chuckled, as if he remembered something.

"Master, did you remember something?" Murong Xi asked.
