"Yes."

Xi Fengyi put down the teacup, the porcelain cup and the smooth tabletop, and did not make any sound, he raised his eyes to look at her, and carved the gradually sinking expression on her face into his eyes little by little.

"Where did you get this painting? Why is it so similar to the previous case? ”

She tried to stand on tiptoe, trying to see the top painting clearly, because it was "death", if the real murderer behind it really used this painting as the prototype to carry out the case, then could she get clues about her mother's case from the first picture?

But the story at the top is very vague, only the scene of the woman falling next to the bed is vividly and clearly.

She wanted to take the painting off and take a closer look.

But before his hand touched the painting, he was grabbed by a big warm hand.

Xi Fengyi stood behind her, his hand over her shoulder, and held her little hand.

Qu Youying was shocked and explained, "I think there may be clues from the past. ”

This is the second time since she got the red bead that she got closer to the things of the year, how could she give up?

"Painting is just artificial, even if you see it clearly, there is a certain discrepancy in the facts."

Xi Fengyi walked past her, took down the painting, and then turned around and put it on the table.

"I asked you to see this painting because I want you to know the secret behind the seven sufferings and red beads of the Buddhist family. Although I didn't want to tell you in the first place, due to the negligence of the teacher, they have already found you, so in order to ensure your safety, there are some things that you must know. ”

In Qu Youying's impression, Xi Fengyi has always been a hee-hee-ha and not serious, in short, he is the master who is the most unlike a master.

So he was suddenly so serious and serious, Qu Youying was a little unacceptable for a while, and in this stunned state, Xi Fengyi had already taken out a box from the dark compartment of the bookshelf in the room.

In that box, there were four beads.

In addition to the three she had before, there is also one that is "old", which should be the sincerity of Shui Linze's transaction with him.

But she remembered that her beads had been snatched away, and then put away by Mu Jing Candle, and now—"Why are you here?" ”

"If you want to know the truth behind the red beads, you swear to the teacher, even if you are a teacher or Jing Zhu stands in front of you in the future, you can't hand over the red beads."

Xi Fengyi suddenly became so serious, Qu Youying was really stunned for a long time before nodding.

"I swear."

She swore to the sky seriously, and Xi Fengyi put the red beads and the painting together.

"There are seven red beads in total, and each one is engraved with a bitterness, which is completely made according to the seven sufferings of Buddhism."

"Why do you want to make red beads according to the seven bitterness? Does it make any sense? ”

Qu Youying sat beside him, poured himself a cup of hot tea, held it in his hand, and eased the gradually tense beating in his chest.

"The seven sufferings are the greatest sufferings in the world. It has been said that a person can only achieve great things if he goes through extreme hardships and hardships. But this is not the meaning of these seven sufferings. These seven red beads, regarded as the seven sufferings, are actually the last guardian of every elder to the younger generation. Strictly speaking, this thing should have been in your mother's generation, and it was gone. But your mother met your father and became pregnant with you, because you are a girl, so from the moment you were born, according to the ancestral teachings, you must inherit this thing. Originally, I suggested that your mother, kill you. ”

"Snap", the cup in Qu Youying's hand shook, and a little water spilled out.

She looked at Xi Fengyi, who had never been serious, in disbelief, and from the bottom of his eyes, she clearly saw the deep killing intent at that moment.

It's as if he looked at her with a smile on his face and said the words "kill you".

But just in the blink of an eye, Xi Fengyi was still a little improper, but looking at Qu Youying's eyes, it made her feel a little panicked.

She tightened the cup in her palm, trying to maintain her previous emotions, but her voice trembled with death.

"I'm not dead because my mother doesn't want me, right?"

"Yes."

Xi Fengyi answered quickly, Qu Youying's heart beat like thunder, and her eyes suddenly became a little hazy.

She bit her lip tightly and didn't speak.

Xi Fengyi looked at her, raised his hand and patted her head gently, silently comforting.

"My mother is just an orphan, and I don't know what relatives she has for so many years. Master, can you tell me where she came from? ”

She always thought that her mother was an ordinary woman, and she never thought that there was any secret behind her, and she never knew what her existence meant back then.

Xi Fengyi's few words were so plain that her calm heart was completely disturbed.

"Your mother is the daughter of the former head of the Esoteric Sect Tianxuan, and since she was born, she has inherited a treasure left by the previous dynasty. The seven red beads of the seven sufferings of Buddhism are the keys to the treasure. Your mother is a map of the treasure and a life sacrifice. It was a curse that had been passed down for a hundred years by the Esoteric Sect, a curse that only the female baby of the main room would fulfill. Originally, as long as she had no desires and no desires, by her generation, the curse would be invalid. But she gave birth to you, and she was destined to die as a sacrifice of life. Once she died, the seven red beads would be scattered throughout the country until they were collected again eighteen years later. This treasure, from the moment the news came out, became the target of competition among all countries. Not only gold and silver jewelry, but also the jade seal left by the co-owner, those who get the jade seal can truly unify the world. ”

Xi Fengyi stopped when he said this, he looked at Qu Youying with his head down, his fingers moved uneasily, his fingertips were white, there was no blood, and his lips were also broken and bleeding due to excessive hard biting.

But he didn't comfort her as usual, because there were some things that she knew and she had to be prepared to bear.

What Qu Youying's ears couldn't get around was the sharp fact brought by Xi Fengyi's beautiful voice.

She took several deep breaths, trying to calm the shock in her heart, but it had no effect, she could only tense her body, pushing herself to the brink of danger, feeling the tragic truth from there.

It wasn't until she digested those words in her heart that she raised a question.

"You said that after my mother's death, the red beads will be scattered all over the place, and they will be collected after eighteen years, right?" Seeing Xi Fengyi nodding, she asked again, with a cautious move, "In other words, it will take eighteen years." But my mother didn't die when I was born. She's been with me for years—"

"That's not your mother. is the maid next to your mother, in order to replace her, to protect you to grow up. Your own mother died on the third day after you were born. ”

After coaxing, Qu Youying knocked over the teacup, and let the tea with temperature get on her hands, and she didn't feel hot.

"It's—it's impossible, you're lying to me, aren't you? My mother...... She...... How can it be? ”

Qu Youying couldn't accept it, she didn't know what kind of mood she should use to accept such a truth, because there was some child's play, and some broke the persistence of eighteen years.

Xi Fengyi didn't speak, just rolled up the picture on the table, closed the lid on the box, and put it aside.

He had just done all this when the door was pushed open.

Mu Jingzhu grabbed the stunned Qu Youying, held her in his arms, and glared at Xi Fengyi with hostility.

When Xi Fengyi saw him, his eyes were bent, and his serious face instantly turned into the joke and impropriety of the past.

"Yo, who am I? It turned out to be my big apprentice! How? With that look in your eyes, don't you think that a teacher will attack a little apprentice? Tsk, don't be so angry, be careful that you can't marry a wife. ”

He was full of nonsense, and Mu Jingzhu didn't care about him, glanced at the things on the table, and bent down to pick up Qu Youying, who was still in a daze.

"Don't worry, I'll never be like you, old bachelor!"

He dropped this sentence angrily, hugged Qu Youying and strode away.

"Oh, how can you speak to the teacher in such a tone, you come back to me-"

In the room, Xi Fengyi's chattering voice was still roaring mournfully, but he didn't chase it out, but stared at the two things on the table with deep eyes, muttering to himself, "Xiaoying, there is not much that the teacher can do for you, and the rest depends on your own choice." ”

Here, Mu Jingzhu went out from the back door of the medical hall with Qu Youying in his arms, and there was not much emotion on his face, but when he looked down at her from time to time, the darkness in his eyes was extraordinarily thick.

But it's not the ink that can't be dissolved, but the helplessness that knows the source of the pain, but can't stop it.

A thousand words spread between his lips and teeth, and finally turned into a simple sentence, "Although I don't know what he said to you." But you can take his words seriously, but don't trap yourself in them. ”

The whispering voice finally made Qu Youying have some reaction.

She looked up into his eyes, the dazedness and pain in his eyes, very clear.

"He said that my mother died when I was born, and the person who raised me was my mother's maidservant, and she was not my mother. But how is this possible? I have loved my mother for so many years, but it is not. And I'm really mother, she actually died for me, she could have killed me and lived. ”

In the end, Qu Youying didn't know what she had said to him, she just cried and laughed while talking, and then gradually fell asleep in his arms.

Mu Jingzhu listened all the way, carried her back to the Supreme Residence, and placed her on the bed in the room.

But when he lifted the quilt, he saw a small snake that had been deliberately put down under the quilt.

He frowned, it was obvious that someone was going to attack Qu Youying.

Pursing his lips, he hugged Qu Youying tightly, turned around and walked out, returned to his room, and put the person down.

He sat at the head of the bed, holding her hand, the little hand that had been warm all the time, but now it became extremely cold, just like her heart.

He looked at it, and even for a moment, he felt that it was really a mistake to take her with him on this trip.

But even if it was a mistake, he had to take it, leaving her alone on the road, it was better to be with him, he would be at ease.

But despite this, there are still people who attack her when he can't guard against her.

"Xiaoying, you have to be strong. No matter what kind of problems you encounter, I will be there for you. ”

Because he was afraid that someone would attack her again, he guarded her in front of the bed for a whole day and a night, and the next day, when Xie Xiaoer was looking for him, he asked Yun Shu to take care of him on his behalf.

How did I know, when I returned to the room to see her again, I saw Qu Youying, who should continue to be sad, sitting in front of the dressing mirror at the moment, grooming her makeup.

Yun Shu collapsed on the bed, motionless.

Mu Jing frowned, and asked in a somewhat unkind tone, "Why did you come out?" ”
