Chapter 24: The Mysterious Old Man
The man gradually approached, glanced in the darkness, and sighed strangely, "There were people just now, how can you ...... now?"
Before the words fell, a cold light suddenly flashed in the darkness, and it hit the face.
The man exclaimed in astonishment, but did not dodge, and the large sleeves of his wide robe were pocketed in mid-air, and the bundles of silver needles were caught like a net to catch a fish.
He glanced at it and said with a smile: "You girl! I haven't seen you for a while, how can you become so ruthless!"
Ning Ke was slightly stunned in the dark, this person knows himself? Oh no, it should be said that he knows his predecessor.
But she has no memory at all now, and she doesn't know many things about her predecessor except for the most basic identity and circumstances!
Pursing her lips, she didn't move, secretly observing.
The man comfortably found a chair and sat down, took out a pot of wine, drank it in the dark, and muttered, "Weishi knows, you blame Weishi for not coming back in time to save you, and you almost died, but isn't Weishi stumbling and can't come back?"
He sighed, "No wonder you're angry, hey! ”
Ning Ke stared at her, this old man was her master? When her predecessor was poisoned, she was probably waiting for the master to come back to save her life, but she didn't expect that this old guy drank and made a mistake, and he didn't come back in time, resulting in a whimper!
But the predecessor's own medical skills are already very good, and ordinary poisons should be able to solve by themselves, why not this time?
Could it be that there is something hidden?
"You girl! The teacher knows you're here!Don't show up soon!" The old man put the flask on the table heavily, and with a flick of his robe, the lamps on the four walls of the secret room lit up in unison, and the room was full of splendor.
As soon as he turned around, his two eyes fell on her with clarity, and then he beckoned and smiled, "Don't be angry, look at what good things the teacher has brought you." ”
Ning Ke stood in place with his arms crossed and didn't move, twisting his eyebrows and looking at this old man carefully-
The old man looked no more than sixty or seventy years old, dressed in a gray robe, of short stature, with two moustaches, and when he spoke, he looked like a mouse.
He has a lot of wrinkles, he smells of wine, and he looks a little down, but his eyes are clear and sharp, as if he can see through people's hearts.
The brows furrowed even deeper, Ning Ke's eyes were strange, this old man looked cringe, it turned out to be her master?
"Oh, don't stand stupid, I've got something good for you. The old man pulled her over, took out a small box from his arms, and offered a treasure, "Look at it! Look at it! This is the Dihuang Pill collected by the teacher when he passed by Xishu! This is very good for concentrating on the cultivation of qi, you are too weak to practice martial arts, with this good thing, you will no longer be bound in the future!"
Ning Ke raised her eyebrows, and when she saw it, it was really a good thing!
Seeing that her expression improved, the old man grinned, "Good apprentice, you can forgive you as a teacher this time, right?"
Ning Ke pocketed the Rehmannia Pill and snorted coldly, "My life is worth this pill?"
"Hey, this, this, isn't it because there was some accident as a teacher!" the old man was in a hurry, and his mustache shook faster.
Ning Ke looked at him, "Why didn't you save me? You know I almost died!"
She wants to know why the predecessor died!
"But aren't you dead?" the old man laughed, and Ning Ke flew over with a knife in his eyes, his eyes were cold, "You wish I was dead, right?
The old man looked at her carefully, and couldn't help frowning, thinking that this disciple's gentle and gentle personality had suddenly changed?
But he didn't think much about it, and thought that she had escaped death so her temperament changed greatly.
"Listen to my explanation, didn't we make an agreement at that time? You took the poisoned soup sent by Mrs. Ning, pretended to be poisoned, and then found someone to transport you out of Kyoto for the teacher, but who came up with some accidents. When the old man thought of this, he couldn't stop beating his chest, "Blame the teacher for being sloppy, and didn't find more people to help, otherwise there wouldn't be no one to answer you." ”
In order to escape from the Ningguo Mansion, she drank the poison sent by Mrs. Ning, faked her death, and then secretly left Beijing.
What I didn't expect was that the person who answered at that time had an accident, and no one helped her, and the old man couldn't come back, so he really didn't have time to detoxify, so he was poisoned!
She glared at the old man fiercely, "You're really reliable!"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry, isn't the master back?" the old man grinned, his expression flattering, and took out a lot of things for her.
Ning Ke has never been a polite master, the more the merrier, accept them all.
The old man saw that her face was better, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and then the thief leaned into her ear, lowered his voice and asked, "Then do we want to continue our previous plan?"
Ning Ke frowned, "Plan?"
Where did she remember what the plan was?!
