Chapter 58: The Origin of the Jade Pendant

"Hmm......" When Mu Chonglan woke up again, the person was already in the carriage, the road was bumpy, and even the three-layer quilt under her body still hit her with pain, she was in a trance for a while, then lifted the carriage curtain, looked at the familiar back and asked, "Xiao Xiantang?" "You go in first, don't suffer the wind and cold again."

"It's okay."

"Let you in, and you will go in." Xiao Xiantang has a tough attitude.

Mu Chonglan pursed her lips, but returned to the carriage, and then said to Xiao Xiantang through the carriage curtain: "Where are we going?" ”

"I don't know, get out of here first." Xiao Xiantang raised his whip again, perhaps because Mu Chonglan had woken up, so the speed of the carriage was obviously faster than just now.

Mu Chonglan frowned, puzzled why the two of them were in such a hurry when it was still early to take office, but he subconsciously felt that Xiao Xiantang must have a reason for doing this, so he didn't ask more.

Xiao Xiantang remembered something and asked, "Where did the jade pendant around your neck come from?" ”

"Master."

"Liu Xu?"

"It's not Master Liu, it's ......" Mu Chonglan briefly explained her encounter with the strange old man on Zhurong Mountain, although the other party was in contact with her as a flower steward, but he really taught her a lot of planting flowers and plants and winemaking techniques, so she felt that the other party was like her master, so she would call it that.

Xiao Xiantang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, he had always arranged for someone to follow Mu Chonglan, but when the person Mu Chonglan said appeared, it seemed that he was abandoned by those old things because he was broken by the sea of qi, so it was reasonable that he didn't know.

"When your master gave you this jade pendant, did you say anything?"

Mu Chonglan thought for a while: "He seems to have said that this jade pendant can cure a hundred poisons, let me carry it with me." ”

"......" Xiao Xiantang was stunned, remembering the boiling secrets of the rivers and lakes that were passed on not long ago, the treasure of the town gate of the Medicine Sect to cross the immortal sect, the flawless jade, was stolen by the traitor Lu Qixing of the sect, and his whereabouts were unknown at this time.

If he didn't guess wrong, the strange old man in Mu Chonglan's mouth should be Lu Qixing, if you count the seniority, then Liu Xu saw Lu Qixing and shouted uncle, so Liu Xu's appearance in Zhurong Mountain doesn't seem to be a strange thing, it's just ...... What did he give this flawless jade to Mu Chonglan?

Is it temporarily stored here?

Or is there some other attempt?

"Xiao Xiantang?"

"If that's right, your master should be named Lu Qixing." Xiao Xiantang said secretly, that Lu Qixing is Liu Xu's uncle, if he really accepts Mu Chonglan as an apprentice, then Mu Chonglan and Liu Xu can be regarded as peers.

"It turns out that his name is Lu Qixing." Finally learned the name of the strange old man, Mu Chonglan was very happy.

Xiao Xiantang nodded: "That's right, but the fact that he knows you, it's good if you know, don't say it." ”

"Why?"

"Do you know where the jade pendant he gave you came from?"

"What's the way?"

"It is the treasure of the town gate of the medicine sect to cross the immortal gate, it was stolen out of the sect by Lu Qixing a few days ago, and the cross immortal gate offered a reward of 100,000 taels, and it has the effect of being inviolable to a hundred poisons, so now the people of the entire rivers and lakes are looking for it, if someone finds it in your hands, there should be many people looking for you, killing people and taking the treasure." Xiao Xiantang explained that the orphans and widows in the previous family should have had some contact with people from a certain sect, or someone had gone to them to look for Flawless Jade, and they had seen a portrait or imitation of Flawless Jade, so they would have that kind of reaction.

At that time, he saw the widow telling his son to go out, although he also thought that he might be too worried, but in the spirit of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, he still brought Mu Chonglan out, at this time it seems that his approach is correct, if he is not decisive enough at that time, the two of them will probably not be able to leave now.

If he is really stopped, even if Mu Chonglan breaks his mouth and explains that the thing was given by Lu Qixing, he will definitely be treated as Lu Qixing's fellow party, not to mention, no one may listen to the explanation at all, isn't it more direct to grab it directly?

Mu Chonglan listened to Xiao Xiantang's explanation, and realized that what he had in his hand was not jade at all, but a hot potato, and if he sent it back, he would be a traitor, and if he didn't send it back, he would be a thief.

Just when she was in a hurry, she suddenly remembered what Mo Xiang had given her, so she found it and handed it to Xiao Xiantang.

Xiao Xiantang saw Mu Chonglan holding two small porcelain bottles in his hands, like bottles of flower dew, and he was puzzled: "This is?" ”

"It's a human skin mask." Mu Chonglan hurriedly explained that when she thought that Mo Xiang and their family would make human skin masks, she thought it was very interesting, so she took advantage of Mo Xiang to make human skin masks for Su Chengyan and asked for two, because she just thought it was fun and didn't want to put them on immediately, Mo Xiang casually found two small porcelain bottles, and soaked the two finished human skin masks in a specially prepared liquid for preservation.

Although it has never been broken, Xiao Xiantang does know the identity of Mo Xiang, so when he heard that it was given by Mo Xiang, he remembered the Su family's disguise technique, so he took the small porcelain vase, opened it, and saw that there seemed to be a hole in the small porcelain bottle.

"Can I use it?" Seeing that Xiao Xiantang didn't speak, Mu Chonglan asked a little nervously.

Xiao Xiantang nodded: "Of course." ”

The largest teahouse in Changyan Town, the welcome building, is full of people, in addition to the literati and ink writers, I don't know how to have more rivers and lakes in recent days, one by one I have found familiar people to sit around a table, discussing the recent rumors of the rivers and lakes, the most exciting of which is the trace of flawless jade.

"Did the Flawless Jade really appear here?"

A middle-aged man shaking a fan smiled: "That's right, I heard that it is still worn by a stunning beauty." ”

"Stunning beauty? How stunning? A curious person asked.

The middle-aged man with a fan is here: "Since it is a beauty, of course it is a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, and a country and a city." ”

"Phew, don't listen to his nonsense, the one who came out with the news is just a country woman, how many beauties can you see?" Someone couldn't get used to the middle-aged man waving the fan's pretense, and retorted: "According to me, the beauty in the mouth of that village woman is not as handsome as the white Oiran in this city." ”

The middle-aged man who was shaking the fan was refuted by him, and he only felt that his face was very unbearable, so he twisted his neck and argued with him: "The surname is Du, what do you mean by this?" I say it's a beauty, because many people have seen it, and it's not a beauty, and it is said that the one who dresses as a man is a little more beautiful than the one who is sick. ”
