Chapter 957: The Secret of the Xuanmen
The four of them soon arrived at Xuan Rufeng's courtyard, and Xuan Liangyue arranged for them to rest in the front hall first, and he went to see his father alone.
"Father." After Xuan Liangyue entered the room, she said respectfully.
"Ah Yue? Came so early, is there something wrong? Xuan Rufeng asked with some surprise.
"Well, father, the Gu poison on Wu Zun's body has been cured, and Elder Zheng has also been counterattacked. However, something unexpected happened. Now Ah Ye, Xi'er, and Wu Zun are already waiting in the front hall, and they have something to ask you. Xuan Liangyue said.
"Is there anything you need to ask me? Elder Zheng's backlash has nothing to do with the villa? Xuan Rufeng asked puzzled.
"I told you before that Elder Zheng coveted the things on the Xuanmen Villa. Now it has been proven that what he wants is not the Gu Sutra. But...... A thing in the ancestral tomb of Xuanmen. Xuan Liangyue hesitated for a moment and spoke.
Xuan Rufeng then understood why several of them came back here, but he still had doubts in his heart, but he knew that he should meet Feng Mingye and Murong Xi.
So, he said to Xuan Liangyue: "Since they have come, then I will go and meet them." ”
Xuan Liangyue helped her father out, and when Feng Mingye saw Xuan Rufeng coming out, she got up and said to Xuan Rufeng: "Uncle." ”
Murong Xi and Ji Limo followed and got up, and Murong Xi also shouted: "Uncle." ”
"Just now I heard Ah Yue briefly tell me about Elder Zheng, what he wanted was not the Gu Sutra? Ah Ye, tell me the ins and outs of this matter. Xuan Rufeng muttered.
Feng Mingye nodded, and briefly told Elder Zheng what happened after he came to Xuanmen Mountain Villa.
"After unraveling the Gu for Ah Mo, we knew that Elder Zheng would definitely be counterattacked, so a few of us went to his courtyard. However, the courtyard was empty. We finally speculated that he went to the back mountain and entered the ancestral tomb of Xuanmen. Sure enough, we found Elder Zheng in the coffin in the ancestral burial chamber, and of course, the thing he wanted. There are still a lot of things we don't understand, so why don't we get up early in the morning and come here to ask you? Feng Mingye finally said.
Xuan Rufeng listened to Feng Mingye's narration and probably knew the ins and outs of the matter. However, when he heard that Elder Zheng was actually lying in the coffin of the ancestor, he was naturally angry.
"Elder Zheng is actually lying in the coffin of the ancestor? Ah Yue, did you throw him out? Xuan Rufeng said.
"Uncle, we didn't touch him for the time being, because we knew that he would sleep for at least half a month. Moreover, there are no ancestral immortal bones in the coffin, only a wooden box. Murong Xi said to Xuan Rufeng.
"Wooden box?" Xuan Rufeng seemed to be caught up in memories.
Murong Xi had already taken the wooden box from Ji Limo's hand and put it on the table.
After Xuan Rufeng came back to his senses, he saw the wooden box, coughed lightly and said, "This is the wooden box?" ”
"Yes, there is a black snake coiled on it, as if to protect this wooden box." Murong Xi continued.
"I heard your grandfather mention it about the wooden box. If it hadn't been an accident, I would have told Ah Yue about it a long time ago. The wooden box is the most important thing besides the Gu Sutra. Speaking of ancestors, I am actually very curious. Xuanmen was founded to dispose of the Demon Palace, and it has only been a few decades. How could the ancestral tomb be in the back mountain of the villa? My father didn't say anything, but told me that every time I worshipped my ancestors, I had to go into the tomb to worship. No one is allowed to enter the tomb except on days of worship. Regarding the wooden box, my father only said that it was something that the ancestors had been guarding. Xuan Rufeng muttered.
"In other words, Xuan Rubing didn't know about this matter at all?" Murong Xi said.
"Well, Xuanmen Mountain Villa has rules, and this matter is only told to the next owner. So, no one except me knew about the existence of wooden boxes at all. Xuan Rufeng said.
"It seems that the ancestors who guarded the box didn't want people to know that there was such a box at all." Murong Xi said.
"I'm just a little curious, why is Elder Zheng lying in the coffin?" Xuan Rufeng said.
"That coffin is a medicine coffin, lying in it can not only prolong life, but also nourish the Gu poison in the body. Fortunately, Xuan Rubing didn't know about the existence of the medicine coffin, otherwise, it was very likely that we would not be her opponent if we had several people combined. Murong Xi said to Xuan Rufeng.
"Medicine coffin? The life of the elder is not bad. Do you want him to keep it in a coffin? Xuan Rufeng said.
"Of course not, but he was left in the tomb for the time being. Later, we'll go and carry Elder Zheng out. Feng Mingye said.
"If you want to open this wooden box, open it. I don't know what is in it, it will make Elder Zheng so obsessed. Xuan Rufeng said.
Originally, Murong Xi and the others wanted to get some news about the wooden box from Xuan Rufeng's mouth, but they didn't expect that even Xuan Rufeng didn't know the secret.
Not to mention the wooden box, he didn't even know that the coffin in the tomb was a medicine coffin.
After Murong Xi checked Xuan Rufeng's pulse, and then instructed him to recuperate well, several people left Xuan Rufeng's courtyard with wooden boxes.
"Ah Yue, you haven't heard Xuan Rubing mention this matter, have you?" Murong Xi asked.
If she had known about it, the wooden box would have been in her hands long ago. In fact, the person she trusts the most is Su Zilan. I don't think she really knows, otherwise the secret in the tomb would have been discovered long ago. Xuan Liangyue said.
"Well, even if Xuan Rubing heard the secret of the wooden box, he didn't know where the wooden box was." Murong Xi said.
"I've put the wooden box away, it's time to bring Elder Zheng back." Ji Limo said.
"Okay." After Feng Mingye arrived at the courtyard, he asked Ye Feng and Ye Luo to carry a soft sedan chair. Love more than the book city
Originally, he could have come back with Elder Zheng on his back, but Elder Zheng was too cunning and didn't know what kind of poison he would put on his body. So, I had to lift him to the soft sedan chair.
Ji Limo put the wooden box away, and several people went to the ancestral grave. After entering the tomb, Murong Xi sprinkled medicinal powder around the elder. Night Wind and Ye Luo lifted Elder Zheng and put him on the soft sedan chair, and followed them back to the bamboo house.
Because the secret room in the bamboo house was demolished, I had to put Elder Zheng in the secret room in the courtyard next to it.
Several people sat in the front hall, and Ji Limo said, "This box, let me open it." ”
"yes, okay." Murong Xi did not object.
"Have you already taken the medicine I gave you?" Ji Limo asked.
"I started taking it today, I was so tired when I came back last night." Murong Xi said.
"Well, your situation is quite special, after giving me and Ah Chen Gu during pregnancy, my body became weak. Although the pulse is stable, the fetus is still a little weak. Therefore, three months after taking the medicine, injections are needed to replenish qi. "Ji Limo is a serious ancient saying.
Murong Xi almost laughed, but at this moment she knew that she couldn't laugh. Because, Ji Limo is hiding it for himself.
"Got it." Murong Xi nodded and said.
"What should Elder Zheng do? Just let him fall asleep? Xuan Liangyue asked.
"No, Elder Zheng is at my disposal, don't interfere." Ji Limo said.
"Ji Limo, don't mess around. It's come to this point that if he dies, we won't know anything. Murong Xi was worried that Ji Limo would kill Elder Zheng impulsively.
"I won't kill him, I will take advantage of his backlash this time to abolish him as a Gu refiner, so that he will not be able to refine Gu in the future." Ji Limo said coldly.
Murong Xi shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”
The bed in Ji Limo's room had collapsed before, so he could only sleep in Bailichen's house before.
When it was time for lunch, Xuan Liangyue refused to leave, and the four of them ate together. Ji Limo cleaned up the empty house next to him and turned it into a medicine room.
"Xi'er, you should go and rest at this time, just hand over the wooden box to me." Ji Limo pushed Murong Xi to Feng Mingye's side and gave Feng Mingye a look.
Feng Mingye pulled Murong Xi back to the backyard, and Feng Mingye said, "Isn't the house in the backyard too small, why don't we move back?" ”
"I think it's good, the view in the backyard is good, just stay here." Besides, we don't live here all the time. Murong Xi said to Feng Mingye.
"Listen to you." Murong Xi went back to the room and fell asleep, and when Feng Ming saw Murong Xi sleeping, he returned to the front hall.
Xuan Liangyue hadn't left yet, and Feng Mingye asked, "Why don't you go to rest?" ”
Feng Mingye knew that Xuan Liangyue hadn't rested well last night, so he thought that Xuan Liangyue would go back to rest.
Xuan Liangyue said: "Let's sleep at night." I can't sleep right now. ”
So, the two of them had to sit in the front hall and play chess.
Ji Limo cleaned up the house, put the wooden box on the table, and he cut his fingers with a knife, dripping blood on the black snake's body.
After the black snake swallowed Ji Limo's blood, it was still a little excited at first, as if it was not enough. However, in just a quarter of an hour, the black snake spat out the letter and became a little crazy. Ji Limo quietly watched the black snake circle around the box, one circle tighter than the other. It looks like you're going to tighten the box.
After another quarter of an hour, the black snake was motionless. Ji Limo nodded with satisfaction and ripped the black snake off the wooden box.
Ji Limo did not rush to open the wooden box, but sensed the gap in the wooden box with his hand. Because he was worried that the wooden box was poisonous, he was so careful.
Ji Limo put down the wooden box and applied a layer of medicinal juice to the gap of the wooden box, and the green medicinal juice turned black as soon as it was applied.
Sure enough, as he expected, the wooden box was poisonous.
After Ji Limo saw that the cracks in the wooden box had changed color, he opened the wooden box.
After opening the wooden box, Ji Limo looked a little surprised. There was nothing in the wooden box, which surprised him very much.
Ji Limo sniffed the box, and the smell of medicine was indeed very strong. Ji Limo took out a knife, cut the cloth in the box, and an envelope fell out of it.
Ji Limo cut the other side again, and there was nothing in it except a sheepskin. Ji Limo frowned slightly, carefully observed the sheepskin, and found that there was nothing on the sheepskin.
If the sheepskin is a map, why is there nothing on it?
After Ji Limo opened the envelope, he found that there was not a word on the letterhead inside.
