Chapter 151: Two Letters Without Saying Goodbye
Pei Zhutian's Taoist Temple
Looking at the back of Fan Jian leaving, Pei Xiuxiu sighed: "I'm sorry Brother Fan Jian, every time I see you, I think of the past with Duan Yiyang, some things happen and can't be regarded as if they didn't happen, in the next life, you will fail me, but in this life, I will fail you after all." ”
Pei Xiuxiu retracted her gaze, turned around and walked into the alchemy room to find her grandfather Pei Zhutian.
I saw Pei Zhutian sorting out things, and he was putting a bunch of alchemy books and magic recipes that were regarded as treasures in the past into the alchemy furnace and burning.
Pei Xiuxiu looked at this scene in surprise and shouted, "Grandpa, what are you doing here?" ”
Pei Zhutian sighed with a long breath: "I don't need it in the future, I have been addicted to alchemy all my life, and I only now regret why I am obsessed with these useless things?" If the past can be rewinded, I would like to go back to the time when I met your grandmother, and I would rather live a normal civilian life with children around my knees without alchemy, hey! Regret it...... If that's the case, your grandmother won't be heartbroken, and your father and I will never be accounted for and life and death will be uncertain, and your father won't be as ruthless as your grandmother did after your mother died in childbirth many years later, leaving you who were just born and running away from home. ”
Pei Xiuxiu said sadly: "Grandpa, why did you mention these sad things today? The past can't be traced, but now Xiuxiu is grown up and sensible and can take care of you. ”
Pei Zhutian looked at Xiuxiu with relief and said: "Xiuxiu, your marriage with Qingfeng has finally been decided, so grandpa can rest assured, remember grandpa's words, don't go back to Dongsang Village after you leave for Jingshi with Qingfeng in a few days." ”
"How can Grandpa? Aren't you still in Dongsang Village? Of course I'm going to come back to see you. Pei Xiuxiu couldn't help but coquettishly.
Pei Zhutian hurriedly stopped: "Don't come back after listening to grandpa." ”
"Why?" Pei Xiuxiu asked kindly: "Grandpa, have you changed your mind and want to enter Beijing with me?" ”
Pei Zhutian shook his head and said, "Girl, you think too much, okay, you go out first, I still have something to tidy up." ”
Pei Xiuxiu pouted unhappily: "Okay, grandpa, why don't you think about it again?" ”
"Girl go out...... Don't bother me! ”
"Good good ......"
After going down the mountain, Pei Xiuxiu didn't go back to Zeng's house until it was close to the meal, and saw everyone sitting motionless at the dinner table with a serious face.
Pei Xiuxiu walked in with a smile and asked, "Why don't you all move your chopsticks, are you waiting for me?" By the way, what about Master and Zilin people, why didn't they see it? ”
Aunt Zeng spoke: "Xiuxiu, your master and Miss Zilin are gone. ”
"Gone? What the hell is going on? Pei Xiuxiu asked with wide pupils.
Aunt Zeng said: "I went to your master's room to knock on the door during breakfast, but no one answered, thinking that he went out early in the morning and I didn't care, and then when I went to your room to find Miss Zilin, I found that she was not there, and only a letter was left on the table." ”
Pei Xiuxiu said anxiously: "What about the letter? Take it for me to see. ”
Zeng Qingfeng handed the letter to Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu opened the letter and looked at it, the letter only had a few words: Xiuxiu, take Zilin away for the teacher, don't read it! The signature is Yuehua.
Pei Xiuxiu was so anxious that she shed tears and cried: "Master, why would you say goodbye without saying goodbye?" Didn't you say that you were going to find Granny Feng and Senior Brother together? ”
"Crying won't solve the problem, I guess your master may have taken Zilin to the Black Hole Mountain Villa to save your people from the Medicine King Valley." Linghu Subai said.
Pei Xiuxiu was so anxious that she stomped her feet and shouted, "Alone? Oh my God, Master is really confused, Black Hole Villa is the power of Jinyiwei, how can he save everyone with the power of one person? I don't know if he and Zilin will also be arrested, you must know that the people of Jinyiwei have always wanted to arrest my master. ”
Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and said: "Xiuxiu, calm down, I don't think your master Yuehua will act so recklessly, I estimate that he may go to secretly investigate the enemy situation first." Second, if you think about your master's arrest, I don't think the people of Jinyiwei will do anything to them for the time being, because the people of the Medicine King Valley are useful to them, although I don't know the reason for this, but I think there must be a lot of secrets in the Black Hole Villa. ”
Thunder, who had returned from injury, asked, "Helper, what are we going to do now?" ”
Zeng Qingfeng said: "Taking advantage of the weakening of the Jinyi Guard's power, let's go to the Black Hole Villa to find out what secrets are inside." ”
"Okay, without further ado, let's go now!" Bae Xiuxiu proposed.
Aunt Zeng said: "You said that the wind is rain, so you can pack up your luggage after eating and set off." ”
Zeng Qingfeng replied: "So decided to eat now." ”
"Don't worry about Xiuxiu, your master's martial arts are not weak, and he will be fine." The unusually cold thunderbolt comforted softly.
Pei Xiuxiu absentmindedly picked up the rice with a melancholy expression.
After lunch, Tie Dan and Wu Ping'an at the door ran and shouted Xiuxiu in unison, as if something urgent had happened.
"What's going on?"
Tie Dan gasped and said, "Letter...... Letter ......"
"What letter?"
Tie Dan paused for a few seconds, adjusted his breathing, and replied, "This is the letter that your grandfather gave me to give you, and after he gave me the letter, I saw him go in the direction of the village entrance." ”
"You say my grandfather is gone? When was the letter given to you? ”
Tie Dan replied embarrassedly: "An hour ago, I was busy and forgot about it. ”
Pei Xiuxiu took the letter anxiously and read it.
Zeng Qingfeng asked Wu Ping'an: "Ping'an, what happened to you in such a hurry?" ”
Wu Ping'an replied in a panic: "Half an hour ago, when our medicine truck just arrived near the Hetang Nunnery, which is ten miles away from Dongsang Village, I accidentally saw Grandpa Pei being arrested when I went to pee in the forest. ”
"What? Grandpa ......" Pei Xiuxiu couldn't help crying: "Brother Qingfeng, what can I do?" ”
Zeng Qingfeng asked, "What does the letter say?" ”
Pei Xiuxiu sobbed and cried: "My grandfather left a letter and ran away from home, saying that he would not return to Dongsang Village and told me not to look for him again." ”
Zeng Qingfeng turned his face and asked Wu Ping'an: "Just now you said that you saw Grandpa Pei being arrested with your own eyes, can you see clearly who arrested him?" ”
Wu Ping'an shook his head and said: "Three or four masked black-clothed people, their martial arts are very strong, and they all disappeared in the blink of an eye. ”
Pei Xiuxiu threw herself into Aunt Zeng's arms and cried: "Grandpa......"
Aunt Zeng patted Pei Xiuxiu's shoulder and comforted softly, and urged Zeng Qingfeng to think of a way quickly.
Thunder suggested, "Without further ado, I think we should set off immediately, and there are people from our Fengyun Society secretly watching along the way, maybe we can find out their whereabouts." ”
"Okay." Everyone echoed in unison.
The group hurriedly packed their luggage, bid farewell to their great-mother and walked in the direction of the lotus hermitage.
Pei Xiuxiu, who was crying sadly in the carriage, quietly wiped her tears from time to time, and Zeng Qingfeng whispered comfortingly: "Xiuxiu, don't worry about them being fine, trust me." ”
Pei Xiuxiu looked at Zeng Qingfeng with tears in her eyes and threw herself into his arms and cried: "Brother Qingfeng...... Woowoo...... Is my grandpa really going to be okay? Who the hell is going to arrest my grandfather? ”
Zeng Qingfeng asked, "Xiuxiu, has your grandfather said anything to you these days?" Think about it. ”
Pei Xiuxiu calmed down and thought about it and said, "By the way, when I went to see Grandpa Alchemy Fang this morning, he was very weird, I saw that he burned all those alchemy secret recipes that he had worked hard for many years, and he also said a lot of strange things to me. ”
"What?"
"He said that he regretted indulging in useless alchemy, regretting that he didn't cherish my grandmother well, etc., and he specially instructed me not to return to Dongsang Village after returning to Beijing with you."
Zeng Qingfeng's bottomless deep eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, and his intuition told him that Grandpa Pei's abnormal behavior might be related to alchemy, not to mention that it must be strange for Grandpa Pei to suddenly appear after his disappearance for more than half a year.
Pei Xiuxiu asked, "Brother Qingfeng, who do you say will arrest grandpa?" He usually goes deep and simple, and he has no grievances with others, so it stands to reason that he has no enemies? ”
Zeng Qingfeng stared at Xiuxiu and asked, "Xiuxiu, do you remember the night your grandfather went out to meet us half a year ago?" Did your grandfather usually mention that Taoist friend to you? ”
Pei Xiuxiu thought for a while and said: "I heard my grandfather mention that he said that the senior brother who apprenticed together back then seemed to be called Huang Youdao or something, and they had a good relationship and have always exchanged letters. ”
Zeng Qingfeng snorted, it seems that this matter is inseparable from Huang Youdao.
"Helper!" Thunder stopped and shouted.
"Huh......" The carriage stopped, and Zeng Qingfeng dismounted and saw that the two disciples of the Fengyun Society knelt on the ground to greet him.
Zeng Qingfeng opened his mouth and asked, "Brother, I would like to ask you, have you ever seen a person wearing a Taoist robe appear near the Lotus Nunnery?" ”
The two disciples shook their heads with a confused look and replied, "I haven't seen it before." However, our brothers watched the appearance of the brocade guards in this area not long ago, and the Lord of the Fog Helm instructed us to search strictly, but we did not find any clues. ”
Zeng Qingfeng's face flashed with a look of surprise, and he pondered: "Jinyiwei? It's actually Jinyiwei? It seems that my assumption is correct, Grandpa Pei's disappearance is estimated to have nothing to do with Jinyiwei, and he has an intuition that tells him that the Black Hole Villa is very suspicious, and it seems that he has to go there to see what it is. ”
Black Hole Mountain Villa is located in a hidden deep mountain jungle in Lincang County, which is 80 kilometers away from Yuncheng and about 150 kilometers away from the capital.
Black Cave Villa, like Fan Dingtian's Secret Villa in Yuncheng, is a secret base of Jinyiwei.
On the surface, it looks like an ordinary rich man's mansion, but in fact, a huge underground palace has been built inside the Black Hole Mountain Villa.
There are more than 30 alchemy rooms, more than 20 medicine rooms, and more than 50 prisons where Taoist priests and doctors are held.
This is a secret place to refine all kinds of elixirs such as the Immortal Pill, the Spring Pill, the Immortal Pill, and the Aphrodisiac Pill for the nobles of the palace.
It is also a base for the development of all kinds of strange prescriptions and the development of various new poisons.
For many years, Jin Yiwei secretly arrested civilian doctors and alchemists, imprisoned them in the dark, living an inhuman life, and used them for their use.
How many concubines in the palace died from new poisons that could not find the cause of death, and how many noble heirs were stillborn and were killed before they were born.
All of this is a matter of power, endless struggles and conspiracies.
The darkness never stops, like a black hole villa, and sin is as omnipresent as a black hole.
