Chapter 960: The Secret of the Letter
Murong Xi remembered that he had gone to Xuan Rufeng's courtyard early this morning, so he said, "Master, we went to my uncle early in the morning and told him about the Elder Zheng and the wooden box that we found in the tomb. However, we also know the secret in the wooden box, so we haven't had time to tell my uncle yet. ”
Xuan Liangyue nodded and continued: "That's right, my father just heard my grandfather mention that the Xuanmen family wanted to be a famous family back then, and now I know that it turns out that our Xuanmen family is a nobleman from the tribe." ”
"That is, Rufeng hasn't seen this letter and this sheepskin map yet?" Shigong asked.
Murong Xi nodded and said, "Well, we haven't had time to tell our uncle yet, let's think about it for a while, so we will go to my uncle's yard and tell her the ins and outs of the matter." ”
Shi Gong sighed, the matter of the Medicine King Valley was far more complicated than he imagined. I didn't expect that the Medicine King Valley still had a relationship with the Fengtian Sect and the tribe, and even the Xuanmen Mountain Villa was from the tribe. And the box found by Elder Zheng, although it was in the tomb of the ancestor, it was not the one that belonged to the Medicine King Valley. According to what Murong Xi said, the one in the Medicine King Valley was probably already in the hands of Elder Zheng.
Shigong regretted a little, he shouldn't have handed over the matter of Medicine King Valley to Murong Xi. If Xi'er hadn't taken over this matter, I'm afraid she would have been playing with the two apprentices in the Hades Mansion by now.
Murong Xi could see her master's hesitation, she understood that if her master knew that the matter of the Medicine King Valley was so complicated early on, she would definitely not let her take care of the Medicine King Valley.
"Master, I know you regret it in your heart, but have you ever thought that even if it wasn't for your explanation, because of other things, it would involve the Medicine King Valley. For example, this time when I was in northern Xinjiang, I met my grandfather and third cousin. Even if I didn't go to northern Xinjiang and my grandfather had an accident, my cousin would send me news. Then I will definitely go back to the Western Domain of Northern Xinjiang to solve the Gu for my grandfather, and when the time comes, I will naturally know the ambition of the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. Of course, Ah Ye and I will definitely go to Northern Xinjiang. If you find Elder, you will be brought back to you immediately. So, even without your explanation, I would have encountered what happened today. Medicine King Valley and Fengtian Sect are indeed from the same place, and the Yun clan is indeed the descendants of the royal family. There is no doubt about this. Finally, I went around and went back to square one. Murong Xi persuaded him.
"Girl, I know you're comforting me. Still, I regret it. Shi Gong shook his head and said.
Murong Xi knew that since he had been tricked by the Gu, his master was very distressed. So. will regret it even more and let himself participate in the affairs of the Medicine King Valley. But she knew in her heart that her master was also forced to do so at that time.
"Master, I know that you have talked too much, and you think that I am just comforting you. But Master, think about the time when Ah Ye and I were in Northern Xinjiang, it was to find those medicine Gu people, right? If Ah Ye and I hadn't appeared in Northern Xinjiang in time, how could we find out about my grandfather's Gu in the first place? My grandfather is old, if I don't solve the Gu in time, even if I go to the Western Domain to solve the Gu, his body will be worse day by day. If Elder Zheng hadn't been found in time, he might have been given four wooden boxes when we weren't vigilant. As for Shigong, you don't have to blame yourself at all, because of your protection of the Medicine King Valley, things haven't developed to the point of incorrigibility. Murong Xi persuaded him.
"Okay, okay, I don't say you comfort me. I won't mention it in the future, it's always okay, right? Shigong said.
Murong Xi smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, but Master, why don't we go to my uncle's place together?" ”
Shigong nodded and said, "It's okay, since I arrived at Xuanmen Villa this time, I haven't seen Rufeng yet." ”
Murong Xi picked up the sheepskin map and letter on the low table, and went to Xuan Rufeng's courtyard.
Xuan Rufeng was in the yard, and when he saw a few children coming back, he just wanted to speak, but he saw the master and the old man.
"Valley Lord, why did you come here in person?" Xuan Rufeng walked over and asked.
"This time, we haven't met yet, I heard that Xi'er was going to come to see you, so I followed her with my junior brother." Shi Gong said with a smile.
"I see, let's talk inside. You kid, can't you come back early to say hello to me? After Xuan Rufeng finished speaking to his master, he turned his head and said to Xuan Liangyue.
"We also decided on the fly, and besides, we are all family." Xuan Liangyue said in a low voice.
"That's right, Ah Yue is right." After hearing this, Shigong said with a smile.
Xuan Rufeng nodded Xuan Liangyue and followed Shigong into the front hall.
After serving tea, Xuan Rufeng said, "How is the Gu Master's health recently?" ”
"It's okay, thanks to Xi'er, otherwise it would ......," Shigong muttered. 591 net
Before Shigong's words were finished, Murong Xi hurriedly said, "Shigong, you are a long-lived and hundred-year-old life. ”
Shigong shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything more, because he knew that Murong Xi was going to tell Xuan Rufeng about the sheepskin map.
Xuan Rufeng shifted his attention to Murong Xi and Feng Mingye, and asked, "Didn't you just come here in the morning?" Is something wrong? ”
Murong Xi and Feng Mingye glanced at each other, Murong Xi nodded to Feng Mingye, and Feng Mingye said, "Uncle, after we left here in the morning, we opened the wooden box. A letter and a sheepskin were found in the wooden box, according to the contents of the letter, these two things were left by the ancestors of our Xuan family. We've read the content and think you should know about it. So, I brought things over. ”
After Feng Mingye finished speaking, Murong Xi took out the sheepskin map and letter and handed them to Xuan Rufeng.
Xuan Rufeng took the sheepskin and the letter, put the sheepskin on the table first, picked up the letter and read it. When he read to the end, Xuan Rufeng's hand holding the letter paper was trembling with excitement.
Feng Mingye and Xuan Liangyue glanced at each other and gave Xuan Liangyue a look. Xuan Liangyue walked to Xuan Rufeng's side and comforted him in a low voice: "Father, are you okay?" ”
Xuan Rufeng took a long breath, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank the tea in the cup violently.
Only then did he speak: "Is this letter really left by the ancestors?" ”
Xuan Liangyue trembled slightly when she heard Xuan Rufeng's voice, and knew that Xuan Rufeng was very excited. He nodded and said to Xuan Rufeng: "Father, Xi'er said that the handwriting on this is not a person's, so what happened before the Demon Palace was written by the ancestors, and what happened after the Demon Palace was probably written by Grandpa." ”
"I see. I really didn't expect that our Xuan family actually came out of the tribe. No wonder it was able to gain the trust of the valley owners of the past generations, it turned out to be this reason. However, since your grandfather was able to leave this letter, it means that he has known this secret for a long time. Why didn't he tell his father about it? Xuan Rufeng said with some doubts.
"Perhaps, Grandpa Tai doesn't want our people in the Central Plains to return to the tribe to disturb the clansmen." Xuan Liangyue said.
"This sheepskin is...... It's actually a map. However, this palm-sized sheepskin is not the entire map. Xuan Rufeng said.
"Uncle is right, this sheepskin map is only about a quarter of the map. In other words, there may be three maps out there that haven't been found. However, we all guessed that Elder Zheng should have held two sheepskin maps in his hands. Feng Mingye said.
"Elder Zheng has two in his hand? This one was obtained from the wooden box, so you also have such a parchment map in the wooden box you found in the Medicine King Valley? Xuan Rufeng asked.
"That's how it should be. However, Elder Zheng is too cunning to tell the truth. Feng Mingye said.
"Uncle, we suspect that Elder Zheng already knew the whereabouts of the wooden box before anything happened in the Medicine King Valley. Then he provoked the Great Elder, wanting to use the Great Elder to get the opportunity to return to the tribe. Unfortunately, in the end, the plan failed. He wasn't in a hurry to take the wooden box, and he didn't know it anyway. It wasn't until he escaped from the cave that he took the wooden box and left the Medicine King Valley. He must have read the contents of the letter before he took the risk to go to the Fengtian Sect. Because he wanted to find the wooden box of the Fengtian Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have done it. It's just that the witchcraft he cultivated was really not hot enough, and he was worried that others would find out, so he quickly left the Fengtian Sect. And for so many years, he has been hiding in Northern Xinjiang not only to use the Northern Xinjiang Emperor, but also to find a way to enter the Fengtian Sect. For he should have learned from that epistle the importance of the parchment map. Murong Xi then said to Xuan Rufeng.
Of course, Xuan Rufeng understood Murong Xi's words, and naturally knew that this sheepskin was very important. So, he spread out the sheepskin on the table and looked at it carefully.
For about a quarter of an hour, Xuan Rufeng gave up observing, because the map was only a quarter, so he couldn't understand what this place was at all.
"It turns out that the origin of the Medicine King Valley and the Fengtian Sect is like this. Valley Lord, do you have any plans? Xuan Rufeng asked.
Shigong shook his head and said, "Me? I don't have any plans. At the beginning, I hoped that Xi'er would bring Elder Zheng back, but I wanted Elder Zheng to be punished by the clan rules. I didn't know about the sheepskin map, but I was curious about the fact that he had to return to the tribe. ”
"At the beginning, Ah Yue told me that what Elder Zheng wanted was in Xuanmen Villa, and said that it was the Gu Sutra. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, what Elder Zheng wanted was not the Gu Sutra, but the wooden box left by the ancestor. Don't you think it's weird, though? I used to be the owner of Xuanmen Villa, but I didn't know the secrets inside the tomb. However, Elder Zheng knows everything clearly, doesn't this make people suspicious? Xuan Rufeng asked puzzled.
Murong Xi thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I think that Elder Zheng should have learned about the sheepskin through the letters left by the ancestors. The letters left by the ancestors must have mentioned parchment maps. Elder Zheng knew the secret of the parchment map, so he would take such a hard time. ”
Xuan Rufeng admitted that Murong Xi's analysis was correct, Grandpa was deliberately hiding it from them, but Elder Zheng learned the secret from the wooden box left by the ancestor. He never understood why the ancestors left the wooden box. It's just a matter of leaving a wooden box to explain the origin of the Medicine King Valley and the Fengtian Sect, why do you still have to leave the cheats of witchcraft and alchemy, and even leave such an important sheepskin map?
