Chapter 6: The Secret Art of Alchemy
γLanling City Nangong Mansionγ
"Qin Fangsu! What kind of heart do you have! β
After worrying for a day, the person who finally looked forward to coming back was lying in Qin Fangsu's arms covered in blood, Bai Luohan wanted to slap him to death with one palm, but because the person was still in his arms, he could only scold.
"Call the Spiritual Doctor." Qin Fangsu gently put the person in his arms on the couch and said to Bai Luohan.
"It's been called a long time ago! I'm not blind! Bai Luohan shouted.
"The Spiritual Doctor is here!" In the morning, the little maid ran into the house panting and shouted.
I saw a woman in white hurriedly stepping into the room, walking to Nangong Li's bed, and gently unbuttoning his clothes, revealing half of his body, covering the wound with spiritual healing, and then wrapping it tightly with a bandage.
"Hmm!" Nangong cried out in pain.
The little maid had never seen her son-in-law like this, but she wanted to appease him but didn't know how to speak, so she couldn't help crying and said, "Didn't you say that you went to enjoy the flowers?" How so? β
After a while, the spiritual doctor got up and said to everyone, "It's okay, the injury is not deep, I'll go grab some medicine, and remember to take it on time every day." With that, she exited the room.
After the treatment, Nangong Li felt that he had some strength, and when he saw that the little maid was still sobbing, he smiled and said to her, "Who told you that you went to enjoy the flowers?" β
The little maid held back her tears and said, "Son, you said it yourself! β
Nangong Li thought about it carefully and said, "I didn't say it. β
Qin Fangsu recalled their conversation in the morning:
Su: "Is Xuan Xuan really in the Ghost Domain?" β
Li: "Probably. β
Su: "Probably? β
Off: "... If you can't find it, you should go to enjoy the flowers. β
Thinking of this, Qin Fangsu was very helpless, this obedient ability to listen only half of the story, there is no one left.
Bai Luohan saw that Nangong Li could laugh as usual again, and his face was not as pale as when he first entered the door, so the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Hello, lie down for me, I'll go see if the medicine is ready." After Bai Luohan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out the door.
Qin Fangsu saw that Nangong Li seemed to be a little tired, so he said gently: "If you are tired, you can sleep for a while." β
Nangong Li said a soft "um", closed his eyes, and fell asleep...
The next day, as soon as the little maid in Nangong's room opened the door, she saw that Bai Luohan and a group of family members were already waiting outside the door, which frightened her.
"Is Childe awake?" Bai Luohan stepped forward and asked softly.
ββ¦ Well... Just woke up. The little maid couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so she replied in a daze.
Hearing this, Bai Luohan hurriedly walked into the room with his family members.
Nangong Li woke up and felt that his body was half lighter, and the little maid helped him take off the bloody clothes from yesterday and change them into clean single clothes. At this moment, he was feeding the starling in his room with great interest.
I saw him holding a small piece of pancake and reaching out to the starling's mouth, but the starling just wanted to stretch out his head to eat, but Nangong Li raised his hand and shrunk, and the angry starling screamed.
Seeing a group of people hurriedly stepping into the room, Nangong centrifuged his head and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"The people of the Wu family are dead!" Bai Luohan said hurriedly.
"Dead... It's dead! Nangong Li said.
Their mission last night was to assassinate the Wu Clan, if they didn't die... That's weird, isn't it?
"But before we could do it, they were dead!" Bai Luohan said with a serious face.
Hearing this, Nangong Li was slightly stunned, he walked to the front of the case and sat down slowly, and said, "Who did it?" β
"I don't know." Bai Luohan replied.
"Don't know? Didn't the people of the Shadow Division keep an eye on it? Could it be that Chengdu is blind? Nangong Li said a little angrily.
"Our Shadow Division has been monitoring the vicinity of Wu's house, and we really haven't found anything suspicious." The person who spoke was none other than Xu Rong, the head of the Shadow Division, who was not only spiritually powerful, but also cautious and thoughtful. Therefore, when the old sect master of Nangong was still alive, he appreciated him very much.
For so many years, he has also been loyal to the Nangong family. After a series of accidents in Nangong Li's family, he still tried his best to assist Nangong Li, so his words are extremely credible for Nangong Li.
"The absence of suspicion is the greatest suspicion." Nangong Li frowned and said, "You are asking how to kill everyone one by one, but no one shouted?" β
The eyes of everyone in the room widened, waiting for him to continue.
"Squeak"
The door was pushed open, and I saw Qin Fangsu holding a bowl of medicine, walked straight to Nangong Li, and said, "Drink the medicine first." β
Nangong Li glanced at the bowl of medicine he handed to him and said, "It's too bitter, don't drink it." β
"If you don't drink it, you have to drink it!" Qin Fangsu said as if he was a little angry.
"I just don't drink it!" Nangong Li said angrily.
Everyone looked at the person who was still helping them analyze this shocking murder method with a serious face, but at this time, he refused to drink the medicine like a child.
But what surprised them even more was that in the next second, Qin Fangsu had already picked up the medicine bowl, and after drinking it all, he held the back of Nangong Li's neck with one hand and kissed him gently.
The tip of Qin Fangsu's tongue slightly pried open Nangong Li's lips and teeth, and slowly introduced the medicinal juice in his mouth into his mouth.
I saw Nangong Li's eyes widen in fright, and he stretched out his hand to push him away, but he was firmly held by him...
"Hmm..."
Nangong couldn't move because he was restrained, so he could only tilt his head and swallow all the medicinal juice in his mouth.
After a while, Qin Fangsu let go of Nangong Li, and then walked out of the room with the medicine bowl.
Nangong Li gasped slightly, and remained silent, obviously not relieving himself...
The minds of those present were confused, and they did not know what to say or do next to break the awkward deadlock.
Is it time to be appeased? Or scold that Qin Fangsu? Or just act like you don't see it?
If you want to be appeased, how do you speak? If you want to scold that person, they have already gone out.
As if you didn't see it? But his son-in-law was forcibly kissed in front of everyone! How can it be left at that?
So, the people who have no idea, you look at me and I look at you, and no one dares to say anything.
"Where did you just go?" Nangong relieved himself and broke the silence in the room.
"Speaking of someone killing the Wu family, no one shouted." The taxi hurried back.
Nangong straightened out his thoughts, and just as he wanted to speak, he heard someone shouting at the door:
"There are assassins! Protect Childe! β
"Over here! Fast! β
"Hmm!"
"Got it! Go and tell Childe! β
After a commotion, Nangong Li motioned for someone to bring in, and the Assassin was tied up and imprisoned in front of him.
"It's you! β¦ Could it be that you came from the floating light? Nangong Li looked at Su Yao'er and asked in surprise.
Su Yao'er raised her head and said, "Hmm." β
Nangong approached her and asked, "What are you looking for me?" β
Su Yao'er looked around and didn't reply to his words.
Seeing this, Nangong Li asked everyone to avoid it first, and then asked Bai Luohan to untie the rope on her body, and said, "You can say it." β
I saw Su Yao'er kowtow heavily to Nangong Li, and said, "Childe, please save my father!" β
The Nangong family has always been a businessman who takes people's lives, but now someone is begging him to save people. Nangong Li felt very strange, so he asked, "Who is your father?" β
"My father's name is Su Mu! Ancestral home Wenhe! Su Yao'er replied.
"Wenhe Su Clan?" Nangong Li was surprised. After a moment of silence, he continued: "You tell me in detail. β
According to Su Yao'er, her father was kidnapped by a group of black-clothed men a few days ago, and he has not been found, and he was spared because he hid in a dry well in the courtyard that day.
"Then why did you ask me to save him?" Nangong Li asked.
Hearing this, Su Yao'er took out a note from her waist, only to see that the note read, "If you want to save her father, the son of Lanling Nangong will leave."
"I didn't believe it at first..."Su Yao'er whispered.
"So you deliberately bumped into me in Floating Light City, trying to test me as a person?" Nangong Li said.
Hearing this, Su Yao'er nodded embarrassedly.
Subsequently, Nangong Li asked Su Yao'er to take her to the backyard and let her take care of her...
Bai Luohan was confused when he heard the conversation between the two, so he chased after Nangong Li and asked, "Do you really want to help her?" β
Nangong Li sighed deeply and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as I thought it would be. β
"But who is Su Mu? Do you know him? And who is the Nawen River Su clan? How come I've never heard of it? Bai Luohan asked a bunch of questions.
"You've never heard of it, so it stands to reason... Their family should have died a long time ago, but I didn't expect... There are still descendants. Nangong Li said thoughtfully.
"Huh? How did they die? Bai Luohan asked reluctantly.
Nangong Li picked up the small piece of pancake that had just been placed on the table, threw it into the starling's trough, and said:
"Wenshui Su was famous at that time because of his mastery of the secret art of alchemy, this technique can extract the spiritual power on the living person, refining it into a spirit stone, if anyone carries this stone, the spiritual power can be greatly increased, but this technique needs to be at the expense of the refiner's yang longevity, and the Su family has always been a single lineage, all dead... Not surprising either. β
"What does that have to do with us? There are still people who name and ask people from the Su family to come to you? Bai Luohan asked.
Nangong Li was silent for a moment and said, "Wu family, although it is very likely that it is just a coincidence that we ran into them, I suspect that they were not killed by someone, but were used by someone to refine them alive. β
"This ......" Bai Luohan was speechless in surprise.
"Come with me to Wu's house and have a look." Nangong Li got up and said to him.
"Huh? What are you going to do? Bai Luohan asked.
"Autopsy." Nangong left the road.
