Volume 1 Long Yuan Chapter 59 The ghost is invisible
The majestic palace wall stretches, the carved beams and paintings are full of eyes, and the eyes are solemn and solemn, Xun Yu walks on this palace road, only feels quite depressed and dull, I don't know whether there will be indescribable pain in the heart of this person who has lived here for many years.
"Ahead is listening to the snow lake, and the two of you can follow the king to the pavilion to talk about things." Mu Shan's hand pointed forward, and it seemed that after passing through the mountain and stone garden in front of him, and crossing a small bridge made of jade, it was another world.
After a while, Xun Yu's eyes are greeted by the listening snow lake in the Mushan Pass, there are flowers around the lakeside, thousands of purples and thousands of reds confuse people's eyes, the flowers fall in the wind, light butterflies fluttering, and then look at the clear lake water swimming in the thousands of fish, there are more white cranes standing on the green lotus leaves, the curtains in the houses next to the lake hang lightly, and the maids and women secretly look back at each other.
"Please, two." Mu Shan led Xun Yu and Xun Qinghuan to a pavilion called Yueshan Pavilion next to Tingxue Lake, and ordered the palace people to serve tea and let the two of them sit down.
"I wonder what the person the regent mentioned in his letter could make her meet with the palace? Is she okay at the moment? Xun Qinghuan was a little anxious, and the first sentence he said when he sat down was to the point, and he would never be too wordy.
Xun Yu was full of doubts when he heard this, although he got a letter from Xun Qinghuan to come to Qiongwu Villa and rushed here, but Xun Qinghuan did not mention at all in the letter that Mu Shan had sent a letter to her.
But he didn't ask at this time, but chose to listen quietly.
"Palace Master Xun rest assured, she is fine at the moment." Mu Shan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, looking at the emerald tea leaves floating on the water, he opened his mouth and asked, "However, does the Lord of the Xun Palace know the purpose of this king's letter to you?" I believe that the Lord of the Xun Palace will not believe that this king will let the two of you meet so easily. ”
Xun Qinghuan's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes suddenly concealed killing intent, sure enough, this Mushan was by no means easy to deal with.
If it was on weekdays, with her style, she would have already done something to him, so why should she deal with him here, she didn't care about it at all. It's just that the stakes are very high, and she can't act rashly.
Therefore, even Xun Yu was quite surprised when she saw her move, but she knew that her master must have a reason for this.
"Then the regent will tell you about your conditions, and the palace does not want to delay much time here." Xun Qinghuan directly said what she thought in her heart, although Mu Shan was noble, she was not from the same country as her, and she actually didn't take it seriously.
"Well, this king doesn't like to talk much." Mu Shan lightly hooked the corners of his lips, "The purpose of this king is very simple, the Xun Palace wants to see the person he wants to see, so he wants to fulfill a wish of this king." ”
"What other wish cannot be fulfilled by the regent, who is above ten thousand people under one man? Do you have to rely on Xun's master to help you complete it? Xun Yu couldn't help but feel funny after hearing this, so he sarcastically said something sarcastic to him.
"This matter is really something that only the Xun Palace Master can do." Mu Shan was not annoyed, but continued, "This king has heard that there is a strange beast in this world, called the red tapir, which can control people's dreams and even help people find memories. ”
When Xun Yu and Xun Qinghuan heard this, they were both slightly stunned, and this situation was clearly seen by Mu Shan.
"And this king also heard that this red tapir is hiding in the palace, I don't know if it's true or not?"
Xun Qinghuan knew that the matter had come to this, since Mu Shan had found out the news, then he must have known the truth, and it was unnecessary to conceal it again, not to mention that the information she wanted to get from him made it impossible for her to lie to deceive Mu Shan.
"Yes, there are indeed red tapirs in the Easy Palace." Xun Qinghuan paused, and sure enough, Mu Shan's eyes were not shocked, he seemed to be confident, and he had already guessed that he would not hide it from him, "However, I don't know what the use of the red tapir in the palace begging me by the regent is this?" ”
"This king borrows this thing to be useful for himself, and this matter will not be bothered by the master of the Xun Palace, in short, there is no harm to you and your Xiaoyao Palace." Mu Shan knew that Xun Qinghuan had always lived in seclusion in the Xiaoyao Palace, and he didn't want to ask the world, so just send her like this, it was enough, "The Lord of Xun Palace only needs to tell this king, do you want to lend it to this king?" ”
"Master?" Xun Yu saw that Xun Qinghuan seemed to have the idea of agreeing to Mushan, and was very puzzled, so he asked out loud.
"Yu'er, you don't know anything about this." Xun Qinghuan frowned, not knowing what to think about, Xun Yu actually felt that her expression was very painful, "Master will explain to you later." ”
"I can lend you the red tapir, but you said that my sister is in your Qiongwu Kingdom, do you have a certificate?" Xun Qinghuan would never believe Mu Shan's unfounded words.
Xun Yu was shocked when he heard this, he had never heard Xun Qinghuan mention anything about herself, and he didn't know that she actually had a sister.
"Since this king has asked the Xun Palace Lord to come here, he naturally has a certificate for you, otherwise how can the Xun Palace Master rest assured that he will make a deal with this king." Mu Shan raised his hand and motioned to the people behind him, and at this time, Xun Yu and Xun Qinghuan saw an old waiter standing behind him holding a vermilion lacquer brocade box in his hand.
"Father-in-law De, present this brocade box to the Lord of the Xun Palace." When the father-in-law got the order, he walked to Xun Qinghuan and presented the brocade box with both hands.
"Xun Palace Master, please look at this thing." He was respectful, and after Xun Qinghuan took the brocade box, he retreated behind Mu Shan.
Xun Qinghuan held the vermilion lacquer brocade box in her hand, looked up at Mu Shan, and didn't believe that he could come up with any evidence to prove that her sister was indeed in this Qiongwu country, but she still stretched out her hand to open the gold buckle of the brocade box.
I saw the brocade box open, and there was a delicate silver lock with a somewhat dull color lying in the brocade box, Xun Qinghuan's eyes suddenly widened, and she trembled with her right hand and held the silver lock in the brocade box, as if she was unbelievable and too excited, Xun Yu actually saw two lines of tears overflowing from her eyes.
"Master......" Xun Yu called softly.
"This ......" Xun Qinghuan choked up a little and couldn't speak, the back of this silver lock was engraved: The dark fragrance floats in the moon dusk, it is indeed her sister's thing, "This is what my sister gave you?" She raised her hand, met Shang Mushan's gaze, and asked slowly.
"Yes, it is indeed the sister of the palace lord of Xun who handed it over to this king." Mu Shan nodded, "Palace Master Xun can see clearly, this king did not deceive you."
"This is half of the silver lock that my sister and I each used back then, and the half of the silver lock engraved on my sister's half of the silver lock is: sparse shadow and horizontal slope and shallow water." Xun Qinghuan closed his eyes, as if he recalled the past.
This thing, in addition to her and her sister Xun Shuyue know, only their deceased father and mother know, because this thing was made by their parents for them when they hired craftsmen, but the family was poor and couldn't afford to make two, so they divided this thing into two petals, and each of them held one each.
Later, since the shipwreck of the Stygian Sea many years ago, she was separated from her sister, and she never saw her sister again, nor did she see this other silver lock again.
I didn't expect to see this thing here again today.
She took out the silver lock she carried around her neck from the placket, and overlapped the one in her hand with it, sure enough, it was really a sister.
She was very happy, but she didn't expect that after more than 20 years, she was about to reunite with her sister.
"Now, the Xun Palace Master has no more doubts." Mu Shan saw that this thing did not arouse Xun Qinghuan's suspicions, so he took advantage of this momentum and continued, "As long as the Lord of Xun Palace brings the red tapir, this king will take you to meet your sister." ”
"Okay, it's a deal!" Xun Qinghuan responded, although the red tapir was very important to her Xiaoyao Palace, but her sister was the only living relative in her life, and the red tapir was insignificant compared to it.
"Wait." Xun Yu suddenly opened his mouth, causing Mu Shan to frown slightly, I don't know what he meant, "This red tapir, Xiaoyao Palace can lend it, but the regent only knows one and doesn't know the other." ”
"Oh? But please let the Lord of Xungu know. Mu Shan's heart froze, could it be that Qingyang still had something important that he hadn't told him?
"Although the red tapir can manipulate people's dreams, it needs a special piano as an introduction, and the name of that piano is called Qihuang Qin." Xun Yu said the secret hidden in it, in fact, he also wanted to delay this matter to see if he could think of other ways, "That qin, Xiaoyao Palace and Heavenly Wolf Valley don't have it." ”
"But I don't know if the Lord of Xun Valley knows where this qin is?"
"Xun doesn't know, Xun only knows that if there is no piano, then even if there is a red tapir, it is useless." Xun Yu paused, "The regent has collected news from all over the world, if he doubts the truth of this matter, he can send someone to investigate." ”
Mu Shan half-narrowed his eyes, he would send someone to investigate, if there was really such a thing, he would also find it.
"Therefore, Xun feels that it is better to wait for the regent to find the perched phoenix qin, and then the Xiaoyao Palace will lend the red tapir to the Qiongwu Kingdom." When Xun Yu said this, Xun Qinghuan wanted to stop it, but saw Xun Yu's hand quietly signaling to her under the table, asking her not to speak, "What does the regent think?" ”
Mu Shan's eyes were dark at this time, and he only felt that this Xun Yu was really not the one who was so easy to negotiate with him, but now that Xun Qinghuan didn't speak, he agreed with Xun Yu's idea, and he had to come down first.
"Okay, this king will promise you, as long as you find Qi Huangqin, you will immediately write to inform the two." Mu Shan should go down.
"It's a deal." Xun Yu's goal was achieved, and he smiled lightly, "If there is nothing else, then Xun will go forward and leave with the master, and come to Qiongwu after the regent finds Qihuangqin." After that, he got up with his clothes and said goodbye to Mushan.
"Just listen to my words." Xun Qinghuan also got up, "The disciples of the Xiaoyao Palace listened to the order and left. ”
"Yes!" The disciples shouted in response.
"The regent is gone, and he is leaving." Before Xun Yu's words fell, he saw that they all flew up, like flying immortals outside the sky, jumping up from mid-air, performing light skills, and stepping on the imperial palace Yuyin disappeared.
Mu Shan raised his head and looked at the sky that they had disappeared without a trace, the hand resting on the round table gradually clenched into a fist, and with a shock of internal force, the stone table shattered in an instant and fell to the ground with a bang.
Frightened, everyone around him immediately fell to his knees, "The Lord Regent is angry! ”
Mu Shan snorted coldly in his heart, playing this game with him, he will inevitably double his reward, and the red tapir and the perched phoenix qin themselves are bound to win!
