Cheng Han (5)

It wasn't until after Fu Min left that Xie Lan came out from behind the screen.

Master Xuan didn't seem to have come back to his senses, looking at the scene outside the window with a confused expression, and only after a long time did he turn his head to look at Xie Lan, and then put on his mask very easily before he spoke: "I didn't expect him to say so many things. After a pause, he said, "Actually, I shouldn't have let you hear these things. โ€

Xie Lan lowered her head and was silent for a moment before she said, "Thank you, aunt, for letting me know." โ€

What else did Master Xuan want to say, but in the end he just sighed helplessly.

"It's just, aunt, is what he's saying true?" Xie Lan's expression was a little hesitant, and he asked after a while.

"This kind of thing, he won't talk about it." Master Xuan's tone was very convinced.

Xie Lan wanted to speak and stopped, and then pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Master Xuan didn't know what he remembered, so he took a little precedence: "Chenghan Academy, why did it become like this in the end!" The curse that used to be has finally come true. โ€

Hearing Master Xuan suddenly say this, Xie Lan didn't know: "Auntie, what curse?" โ€

"It's all in the past, and it really doesn't implicate you." That's all the Master Xuan said.

However, Xie Lan still insisted on looking at Master Xuan, he just didn't want to be confused no matter what happened; Even if it has nothing to do with him, I'm afraid it has something to do with his parents.

Master Xuan pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you want to know, I will not hide it from you." But you have to promise me that you must not think about it too much. โ€

Xie Lan naturally nodded in response.

Only then did Master Xuan say: "This is also related to the rebellious King Yongding more than thirty years ago. When he first started his army, there was a very powerful Gu master by his side, who was proficient in casting spells and reciting Gu techniques; But at that time, I was still young, and I didn't know much, and I only heard about it. In the end, it was Mr. Gu and Gu Master Miao Liuniang who shot together to kill the Gu Master, and Miao Liuniang was the master of Chu Si Master Zeng Xue. And before he died, the Gu master took advantage of Mr. Gu's unpreparedness and cast a spell on Mr. Gu; At that time, the Chenghan Academy where Mr. Gu lectured moved the world, and he cursed the Chenghan students for their ill-fated fate and not being able to die well. Later, fortunately, Miao Liuniang sealed the curse for Mr. Gu with the risk of counterattack, and Mr. Gu was relieved. โ€

It's just that a few years later, Miao Liuniang died of illness; But none of them knew if the curse that had been sealed would be broken again because of Miao Liuniang's death.

But later facts proved that a great war caused countless deaths and injuries to the students of Chenghan Academy, and most of the rest also disappeared with a bad fate.

Such an ending is really regrettable.

Just hearing that it was related to the Gu Master again, Xie Lan felt very incredible: "Auntie, is there really such a terrible curse in this world?" If this is the case, the enemy army only needs one Gu master, and it will be able to storm the city and plunder the land without much effort? โ€

Master Xuansi shook his head, and his tone was obviously a little bitter: "That's not the ability to do that." It is said that the curse must be performed by a very powerful Gu Master at the cost of his life in order to have a chance of success; And the more targets it is carried out, the lower the probability of success, but no matter whether it is successful or not, Gu masters will lose their lives. Therefore, the technique of Gu spells, looking at the world, not many Gu masters dare to do it. โ€

What's more, most of today's Gu masters have disappeared, and more people feel that the stories of Gu masters are no different from legends.

"So it's likely that it's because of this curse?" Xie Lan thought about it and asked.

"No one knows for sure, but I think it might be." Master Xuan was silent for a while before saying, "But don't tell anyone about this matter." After a pause, he added, "Including Jin Huan." โ€

Xie Lan responded.

The only Gu Master he had ever seen was Qi Shan, but the feeling Qi Shan gave him was not so terrifying. However, in other people's accounts, most of the Gu masters are dangerous and evil, and they should be kept away.

Even after Master Xuan ordered this, Xie Lan was also tight-lipped and did not say anything to anyone.

It's just that at dusk in the evening, a person suddenly ran over and sent a letter to Yunyan Pavilion, saying that it was for Miss Xuan of Yunyan Pavilion.

The person who came said that the letter was sent by the shopkeeper of the rouge shop in the south of the city, but the others did not know.

Xuanjin thought about it, but he didn't remember any dealings with the rouge shop in the south of the city.

When I opened the letter, it was a blank piece of paper.

Xuan Jinhuan flipped through it, but he couldn't find a trace on the paper.

"How could someone go out of their way to send a blank piece of paper?" Master Xuan glanced at it casually, and said intentionally.

"Perhaps, the shopkeeper of the rouge shop wants to meet me and talk to me again." Xuan Jinhuan flipped through the paper and said with a thoughtful frown.

Xie Lan pulled Xuan Jinhuan over: "Don't go alone." The other party acted so mysteriously, I am afraid that it is a fraud. โ€

Xuan Jinhuan smiled confidently: "It's okay." I'm good at martial arts, if there's anything wrong, I'll leave; Anyway, I'm not a fish to be slaughtered on a chopping board, and I still have a backhand. "She has never acted impulsively and casually, otherwise she would have died hundreds of times while sitting in the Yong'an Secret Guard.

"Then you ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Xie Lan also took Xuan Jinhuan's hand, trying to make eye contact.

Master Xuan patted Xuan Jinhuan's hand: "I remember, the rouge shop in the south of the city is the property of the Zhu family. โ€

The Zhu family? General Zhu's Zhu family?

"If it's the Zhu family, then there shouldn't be anything." Xuan Jinhuan calculated.

"This should be what the Zhu family meant." Master Xuan nodded.

It's just that when he heard them say that it was the Zhu family, Xie Lan kept his face calm, as if he was thinking about something very hard; After all, the Zhu family is the husband of Princess Guanghua, and when he mentions the Zhu family, he can't help but think of his eldest sister.

Zhu Jiming and Princess Guanghua are now considered to be in harmony with each other, and they have well-behaved children, so this marriage is not bad.

Now that he knows the relationship between the Zhu family and Yong'an Secret Guard, he feels strange when he thinks of what happened from beginning to end.

It's just that the rouge shop in the south of the city is the property of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family and Yong'an Secret Guard are also tacitly aware of the relationship between the two sides, so why do they secretly use blank letters to deliver news so secretly.

It seems very difficult to figure it out.

But Xie Lan didn't say it in front of Master Xuan, but quietly asked Xuan Jinhuan later; Xuan Jinhuan's expression was unfathomable, and he only said: "It's not clear now, but I'll naturally know when the time comes." It's just weird, and I can't tell what's not normal. โ€

Xie Lan nodded hurriedly: "That's right, I think so too." โ€

In the past, the Zhu family interacted with Yunyan Pavilion for fear of being noticed by others, so the most dangerous method was actually the safest method; The Zhu family all sent confidants to deliver news under the pretext of sending letters, but this time it was different.
