Chapter 22: Recovering Memories - Darkroom

Xiu Ming doesn't know where Yingyin disappeared suddenly? Anxious, he kept inquiring about the news of Yingyin in the palace. But Xiu Ming didn't know many people in the palace, and for several days, he didn't even hear the slightest news about Ying Yinyan.

"Master, do you know where Her Royal Highness the princess of Xiyuan has moved?"

Just when Xiu Ming was upset, he suddenly thought of his master Xu Fu. Xu Fu has been summoned by the emperor every day in the past few days to inquire about the refining of the elixir, maybe his master may know the whereabouts of Ying Yin Yan.

Xu Fu heard Xiu Ming mention Yingyin Yan, and his face immediately sank. He put down the medicine scale in his hand and looked up at him dissatisfied.

Since Xiu Ming participated in the birthday banquet of His Majesty the Emperor, the whole person seemed to have changed as if he had changed his life, and he was not willing to give up all day long.

Recently, Xiu Ming often went to the begonia forest near the West Garden on the outskirts of the palace to practice swords, which was completely opposite to the direction of the Danfang.

The disciples of the Danfang felt that their senior brother's behavior had been quite abnormal recently, so they had a little more heart and reported the whereabouts of Xiu Ming to Xu Fu. Therefore, Xu Fu has some idea of the relationship between Xiu Ming and Ying Yin.

But Xu Fu was obsessed with refining pills at that time, and the emperor was urging him to do it, so he had no time to scruple about cultivating his name, so he went.

Xu Fu originally thought that if Xiu Ming really liked His Royal Highness in Xiyuan, after the pill was successfully developed, he, as a master, would make the decision for him, ask His Majesty the Emperor to marry His Royal Highness.

But I didn't expect that the world was impermanent, and the emperor had so many children under his knees, so he chose Yingyin Yan to test the medicine for him. The order of the Son of Heaven, Xu Fuzi did not dare to disobey. And the character of the name, Xu Fu also knows it very well, gentle and kind.

This is also the reason why Xu Fu didn't want Xiu Ming to participate in the refining of the elixir, his hands full of blood were not suitable for him. Xu Fu couldn't bear to watch his apprentice's beloved apprentice fall deeper and deeper, and decided to beat him well.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is a daughter, how noble is her status, how can you be a little medicine boy in reverie? I don't want to hear anything about Her Royal Highness from you anymore, understand? ”

"But master, I..." Xiu Ming wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Fu.

"Okay, you go down first, there are still some things to deal with for the teacher."

Xiu Ming saw that his master was reluctant to mention Yingyinyan's matter, so he had no choice but to give up and continue to ask. He walked to the door and looked back unwillingly at Xu Fu, who was looking down and studying Danfang seriously.

Ever since the master and his junior disciples entered the palace to refine the elixir for His Majesty, they all began to become mysterious, as if something was hiding from him. He had secretly asked his senior brothers, but they were all silent, only saying that they didn't understand anything, and asked him to ask Xu Fu directly.

"No, still no."

Xu Fu was distraught and threw the bamboo slip with the Dan Fang written in his hand on the ground, he calculated countless times according to the Dan Fang in the ancient books, but he didn't know what went wrong, and it was always a little short of the success of the elixir refining. And recently, His Majesty has pressed him tightly, and Xu Fu feels that his whole person is about to collapse.

Xu Fu struggled and hesitated for a long time, then got up and took down a bundle of bamboo slips from the bookshelf behind him, he opened the bamboo slips, and found the Dan Fang he had hidden. Could it be that there is really such a thing as Penglai fairy grass in this world?

I felt that the master and the junior disciples were very wrong in cultivating their names, and they couldn't control their curiosity. He decided to investigate and find out for himself what these people were doing behind his back?

On this day, Xiu Ming saw that his little junior brother had a bowl of soup and medicine in his hand, so he secretly followed the little junior brother to the Dan room where he usually made alchemy.

Xiu Ming watched in confusion as the little junior brother skillfully turned the mechanism and opened the dark room. There was actually an underground dark room under the Dan room, why had he never heard the master mention it before?

Xiu Ming followed the little junior brother into the underground dark room, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a thick, unusually pungent smell of blood coming from underground.

Shuming covered his mouth and forcibly endured the nausea of nausea, and looked at all this in front of him with wide eyes and disbelief.

On weekdays, his gentle, kind, and generous juniors and disciples were like cold-blooded and ruthless executioners at this time, forcibly pulling one young girl after another to the edge of the blood pool, and then cutting their wrists with knives and putting the blood in their bodies into the blood pool. Finally, after the blood in the bodies of these girls was completely drained, they were dragged down like rags.

There was a woman soaking on the edge of the huge pool of blood, and Xiu Ming always felt that this woman's back was very familiar. After the palace maid scooped up the fainted woman, the woman's face that emerged from the middle of her hair was actually Ying Yinyan, who had not been seen for a long time.

Everything I saw in the dark room today violently impacted the cognition of Xiuming. He didn't know that there was such an evil thing hidden under the Danfang, and what his junior disciples had done, did his master know about it, and what role did Xu Fu play in it?

At night, Xiu Ming avoided everyone and sneaked into the dark room where Ying Yinyan was held. At this time, the weak and exhausted Ying Yinyan was resting on the straw mat in the dark room.

"Yan'er, Yan'er."

Ying Yinyan heard someone calling her in a daze, she opened her eyes and looked at Xiu Ming outside the cell in surprise, she once thought that it was because she missed Xiu Ming too much, so she had visual and auditory hallucinations.

"Xiu Ming, is that you? I can't be dreaming, am I? ”

Yingyin Yan's face came with the familiar temperature of the palm of the cultivation name, it turned out that she was not dreaming, she was really cultivating the name.

At this moment, Ying Yinyan's tears suddenly burst out of her eyes without warning. She seemed to have a thousand grievances in her heart and wanted to tell Xiu Ming, but she didn't know where to open for a while.

Xiu Ming looked at Ying Yinyan with a pale face in the cell, he had lost a lot of weight, and his mental state was also very poor, and it seemed that he had suffered a lot here during this time.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Xiu Ming stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on Ying Yinyan's face, and his own eyes couldn't help but be sour and red.

"The guards outside are heavily guarded, I can't take you away right now, Yan'er, you've been working hard for some time. When I think of a solution, I'll get you out at once. Xiu Ming looked at Ying Yinyan's eyes, and his words and expression were very firm.

Ying Yinyan listened to Xiu Ming's rather innocent words, and shook her head in refusal. I don't know how long this painful and difficult day will last before it comes to an end. She was afraid of staying up in this dark dungeon, so she forgot about her name.

Ying Yin Yan stretched out her hand and gently stroked Xiu Ming's face, her eyes were full of attachment and farewell, she wanted to take this opportunity to firmly engrave Xiu Ming's appearance in her heart.

"The whole world is not the king's land, where can we flee to? In fact, I am already satisfied to see you again. For the sake of immortality, my father and your master have been completely stunned. When you go out, act like you've never seen me tonight, and don't come back to this place again. Ying Yin Yan looked at Xiu Ming's eyes and said seriously.

"Don't say frustrating words, after we rescue you, we will find a deserted place, plant a few acres of arable land, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. By the way, don't you like camellias? When the time comes, we plant a large field of camellia in the back of the house, and then raise a few chicks. Listening to them chirping in the camellia bush every day, life is very comfortable. ”

Ying Yin Yan saw Xiu Ming, who was extremely yearning for the scene she depicted and grinning at herself. The corners of her mouth showed her first smile since she was imprisoned, and all this Xiu Ming said was very beautiful, and it was beautiful and made her heart move, but ......

"You go, don't come again."

"I'll come back tomorrow." Xiu Ming ignored Ying Yinyan's words, suppressed the stuffiness in his chest and turned to leave the dungeon.

"Xiu Ming, have you heard, you are not allowed to come to this place again."

Ying Yin Yan looked helplessly at Xiu Ming who didn't look back and left, she was afraid of disturbing the guards at the door, so she lowered her voice and whispered.

"Where have you been so late?"

Xiu Ming opened the door and was stunned, he didn't expect that his master would be in his room at such a late hour.

"It was so stuffy in the house, so I went out for a walk." Xiu Ming explained.

Xu Fu knew that his attitude towards Xiu Ming yesterday was not very good, and now that Ying Yin Yan suddenly disappeared, Xiu Ming must be very sad in his heart.

Xu Fu originally wanted to come over to talk to Xiu Ming, and comfort him. I never thought it was so late, but the name repair was not in the room at all.

As soon as Xiu Ming entered the door, Xu Fu smelled the smell of blood and medicine on his body. He couldn't help but start to have some doubts in his heart, could it be that Xiu Ming had already discovered the dark room?

"How can you move around at will in the palace area, and in the future, you can't go out at night without permission."

"It's the master, keep it in mind." Xiu Ming saw Xu Fu's unkind face and temporarily agreed.
