258 Farewell

When Gan Sui arrived in the capital, it was already noon on the tenth day of the first month of November, and it was inconvenient for him to go directly to the Pavilion Mansion in broad daylight, so as soon as he entered the city, he first ordered the local helmsman of the Demon Sect and Zicao to come for questioning.

After waiting for a while, the helmsman surnamed Zheng appeared in front of him with a disgraced face, but the purple grass was nowhere to be seen.

Master Zheng Duo is a famous figure in the Demon Sect, and he is also a close confidant of Gan Sui, one of the few people in the Demon Sect who knows Gan Sui's several identities, he looks about forty or fifty years old, tall and capable, and imposing, but today he is facing Gan Sui with a panicked expression, and he looks frightened when a mouse sees a cat.

Gan Sui raised his eyebrows and said directly: "In my absence, what happened to the Divine Sect?" ”

Lord Zheng Helm shook his head: "Everything is fine in the sect......"

Gan Sui was a little relieved in his heart, he rushed all the way back to the capital, and he didn't hear any bad news, so the situation should not change much. He glanced at Master Zheng Helm, and Lord Zheng took two steps back in a panic.

Gan Sui said impatiently: "Why are you so flustered? What about Cao Ziren? "Cao Zi is actually Zicao, and his identity in the Demon Sect is Gan Sui's junior disciple, and the fifth-ranked elder of the Demon Sect.

Lord Zheng Helm gritted his teeth and said quickly: "Elder Cao received the news that his wife died yesterday at the foot of the banner mountain outside the capital, and Elder Cao rushed to verify it last night, and has not returned to ...... yet."

Gan Sui was stunned for a moment, and asked casually, "Whose wife died?" ”

Lord Zheng Helm said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's the sect leader's wife......"

Gan Sui patted the table of the Eight Immortals in front of him, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

It's ridiculous!

That little girl is in very good health and has taken the poison of his Xuanyin marrow-washing, the guards around her and even the plague cat are not easy to match, and there are even a group of masters he sent to secretly protect her, how could she die suddenly?!

Lord Zheng looked at the Eight Immortals Table that shattered and collapsed after a loud bang, and his face became more and more pale: "This matter is indeed strange...... Elder Cao and Cao had already gone to check that the Bai family had left Manganshan early this morning and went to the Lark Mountain Courtyard. ”

In fact, Zicao had already sent back a message this morning to confirm the matter, but Zheng Duo Lord looked at Gan Sui's terrifying face, how dare he insist that Bai Poria was dead, so he had to follow his claim that he was still investigating, and with the level of tension the sect leader had for his wife, it was best for him to see it clearly with his own eyes! Whoever dares to touch the sect leader's mold at this juncture, ten lives are not enough to die.

Gan Sui's expression changed sharply, his chest fell together, and finally pushed the door of the flower hall, jumped onto the wall in a flash, and several ups and downs disappeared in front of Lord Zheng's eyes.

In the cold winter of Layue, Zheng Duozhu was soaked in cold sweat, and he exhaled vigorously, feeling that he had escaped death. I secretly prayed in my heart that the sudden death of his wife must be fake news, otherwise he couldn't imagine the consequences.

Gan Sui was crazy, he didn't care about the passers-by, he exerted his light skills to the fastest speed, and left the capital in the blink of an eye, and he had arrived in front of the courtyard of the Bai family in Yunque Mountain in less than a meal.

The gate of the annex was closed, and there were no white flags, white lanterns and other necessary items for the funeral, and Gan Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night there was a heavy snowfall, and a thick layer of snow was spread on the tiles, and the white color gave people a cold and ominous meaning.

As soon as Gan Sui listened attentively, he heard bursts of cries from the manor, both men and women, he was distraught, and with one palm, he broke the latch of the gate and strode into the manor.

He had been to this manor before, and the cry came from the front hall, and Gan Sui only felt that his feet were as heavy as lead, and he stepped on the steps step by step, pushing open the hall door......

There was a dark coffin in front of the hall door, the coffin lid was placed on one side and had not been closed, so he took three steps and made two steps to rush up to take a look, and the white poria was lying quietly in the coffin, her eyes were closed, and her expression was quiet, as if she was asleep.

Gan Sui's head buzzed, his eyes went black, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot.

He held the edge of the coffin with one hand, shook the woman in the coffin vigorously with the other, and hissed with red eyes: "Wake up!" Wake up quickly! ”

Bai Chou and Mu Peilan were sitting not far in front of the coffin, and dozens of people were standing or sitting in the hall, most of them were the Bai family's guards and maids, and the comfrey was also among them, as well as the Baizhu couple who came from the nearby village, etc., everyone was sad and full of tears.

Most of them have seen Gan Sui, but they only know the identity of his martial arts alliance leader Hai Pushi, and they also know some of his relationship with Bai Poria, and they can't help but secretly sympathize with him when they see him in such a situation.

Gan Sui only had the sleeping woman in front of him in his eyes, and he didn't notice that there were other people in the hall at all, and he just wanted to "wake up" Bai Poria wholeheartedly.

Bai Chou and Mu Peilan stepped forward with each other's support and shouted, "Enough! Stop it! ”

Zicao also came up with red eyes and tried to hold Gan Sui, but Gan Sui was shocked by Bai Chou's shouting, regained some senses, slowly raised his head and stared at the Bai couple fiercely, "This is fake, isn't it?" What about Ling'er and her? ”

Mu Peilan waved her hand, and said to the others in the hall with a solemn expression: "You guys go out first......

There were only the Bai couple, Gan Sui, and Zicao left in the hall, Mu Peilan walked to her daughter's coffin, stretched out her hand to carefully sort out her daughter's messed hair and clothes, and then raised her head to look at Gan Sui and said, "Ling'er said before she went, if you don't verify it yourself, you won't believe her death." She's gone, so take a good look. It's just that you should be careful, Ling'er, she loves beautiful ......," Mu Peilan couldn't hold back her tears halfway through her words.

Bai Chou's eyes were also red, and he helped his wife to step aside and sit down.

Gan Sui only felt that his heart was sinking, and he almost numbly picked up Bai Poria's left hand, and he remembered that there was a small red mole on her left wrist, only the size of a needle, and it was difficult to find it without taking a closer look.

The jade white wrist turned upward, the little red mole came into view, and Gan Sui trembled and raised the white Poria hand to the tip of his nose, and a familiar light fragrance came, which was the smell of the poison of Xuanyin marrow-washing!

All the characteristics of the white poria can be imitated and faked, but this poison is mixed with Gansui's own blood as the introduction to refine, there is only one in the world, and the unique smell cannot be counterfeited at all.

Gan Sui still did not give up, and kept pouring internal force into the body of Bai Poria Cocos, trying to find signs of life. A clever fake death pill can make a living person appear completely breathless and have no body temperature.

He remembered that there was a guy in the Bai family who was proficient in medicine and was named Fang Hai!

After trying again and again, there was no response, his internal force was like a mud cow entering the sea, unable to stir up the slightest wave, let alone find even a little pulse and heartbeat.

Fake! Fake! It's all fake! Bursts of fear and grief drowned Gan Sui almost instantly, and a sweet hot breath gushed out of his throat.

"Senior brother!" The exclamation of the comfrey seemed to come from a far, far away, and Gan Sui suddenly took the white poria out of the coffin, stumbled two steps, and fell to the ground with one foot in the air.

In the confusion, Gan Sui almost instinctively protected Bai Poria's body in his arms, and fell on his back with his shoulder on his shoulder.

Seeing that he seemed to have the intention of taking away his daughter's body, Bai Chou and Mu Peilan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Gan Sui sat up, hugged Bai Poria tightly, and muttered: "Don't scare me, you're angry with me, so you deliberately scared me, didn't you?" I'll give you whatever you want, will you wake up? Don't scare me, wake up, okay? Later, his voice was choked up and pleading.

Comfrey had never seen such a high-flying senior brother, and she was so anxious that she wanted to reach out to pull him, but she was immediately shocked by the protective body qi on his body.

The Bai couple knew that Gan Sui was devoted to their daughter, but they didn't expect it to reach this level, and most of the resentment in their hearts was gone, and they even felt a little sorry. They thought they should feel relieved to see this bastard who had saddened their daughter, but unfortunately, they really couldn't be happy in the slightest.

Gan Sui is also a poor man......

Gan Sui hugged Bai Poria cocos, slowly struggled to get up from the ground, and said gently: "I found you Yuye Tiantan, it should be open on your birthday in a few days, you will definitely like it when you see it, don't be angry with me, okay?" As he spoke, he wanted to take Bai Poria to see the strange flowers he had brought back.

Bai Chou and Mu Peilan were anxious, they did not publicly hold a funeral for their daughter, and even Lin Pingzi and Lu Ying were ordered to return to Beijing first, just because they didn't want Bai Changshan to learn the bad news of their granddaughter's untimely death, and if they took their daughter's body out in a grand manner, they were afraid that they would no longer be able to hide it.

The two of them quickly stopped in front of the hall door, refusing to let Gan Sui leave with Bai Poria.

The two sides were about to collide together, and in their current state, they really didn't know what they would do if they were stimulated, and Zicao shouted in a hurry: "Senior brother, have you forgotten?" Yuye Tiantan I have already ordered someone to send it over, the weather is so cold, the little sister-in-law will freeze when she goes out, you just wait here, the flowers will arrive soon! ”

Gan Sui remembered that he seemed to have asked the comfrey to send flowers to Bai Poria for him, but now his mind was in a mess, and he said blankly: "Is it? Then wait. As he spoke, he turned around and walked back to the hall, the empty door behind his back was wide open, and he was unreservedly exposed in front of the Bai couple, and the comfrey glanced at the two of them, and the white clown was taken by surprise, and a palm cut at the back of his neck, and Gan Sui finally fell to the ground softly.

If he wasn't confused, it would be impossible for him to succeed in a sneak attack with the strength of the white clown. The two husbands and wrys looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and spent a lot of effort to snatch out the body of Bai Poria and relocate it into the coffin.

Zicao didn't dare to let such a senior brother go out, so she asked the Bai couple what they meant, and helped Gan Sui to the side room to rest.

Gan Sui had a long, long dream, in the dream he took Yuye Tiantan to Baili Mountain to propose to Bai Poria, Bai Poria happily agreed, and then they got married, after a few years, Bai Poria gave birth to a pair of children for him, and then one day, a group of enemies came to seek revenge, they were a lot of them, all of them were top masters, but compared with him was still a little worse, he quickly killed most of these people, just when he was killing happily, he suddenly heard Bai Poria's exclamation.

When he looked back, he saw one of the enemies slap Bai Poria on the vest, and then grabbed his two children and threw them against the wall, splashing blood, and killing them on the spot.

Gan Sui was almost mad, he raised his long knife, one by one, and cut his besieging enemies in two, and rushed forward to slash to death the man who had killed his wife and children.

He rushed over and picked up Bai Poria and found that she had died of anger, he was so grief-stricken that he laughed wildly, raised his long knife and killed people when he saw them, and the long knife passed over, and the sound of scalp numbing bones was endless, blood gushed out, and the severed limbs and heads flew out horizontally......

He didn't know how long he had been killed, and what he saw in front of him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, until there was nothing to kill, he turned around suddenly, and found that he was the only one left in the world, and the blood red all over the sky, the white poria and the body of his child were gone......

His Ling'er is gone! His Ling'er left him alone and left alone!

Gan Sui opened his eyes in shock, and it was pitch black in front of him, and there was no blood in the sky, only the silver-white moonlight and snow light by the window, and the quiet smell of pure heart and tranquility.

The comfrey that had been guarding the room stood up suddenly when she heard the voice, walked over and said worriedly: "Senior brother, you are scared to death, you almost went mad, do you know?" Fortunately, I found it early and took the medicine in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Gan Sui slowly recalled the previous incident, his expression changed suddenly, Zicao had already been paying attention to his expression, and couldn't help but secretly complain, but he could only persuade astringently: "Life and death are fate, senior brother, you can see some ......"

Gan Sui sat in a daze for a while, got up and walked out slowly, the cold wind in the yard was like a knife, he didn't feel anything, his heart had already fallen into the ice cave, what was the cold wind?

The wing room is very close to the hall where the coffin of Bai Poria is placed, and Gan Sui walks into the hall like a wandering spirit, Bai Chou and Mu Peilan are not there, Bai Guo and Bai Awu and a few other people who usually serve by Bai Poria are kneeling beside the coffin in plain clothes, putting pieces of paper into the brazier and burning.

Several people saw Gan Sui coming, but they didn't speak, they had seen Gan Sui sad and crazy during the day, and they also knew that he was the person that Miss liked, and they were sad for him when they saw him look so lost.

Gan Sui stood next to the coffin, and the pictures of getting along with Bai Poria in the past reappeared in his mind one by one, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't calm down and think about it.

"Ling'er, how is she...... Go. Gan Sui asked. During the day, when he confirmed the identity of the corpse in the coffin, he already knew that Bai Poria had not been injured, nor did it seem to have died of a sudden illness, and he really couldn't understand why someone who was fine more than a month ago would suddenly die.

Bai Guo lowered his head to hide his strange expression, and said vaguely: "I don't know, Miss went very suddenly." She suddenly thought that if the young lady had known that she could only live to be eighteen years old, then she concealed the fact that she was close to Hai Pum, wouldn't she deliberately want to hurt Hai Pumice Stone's heart? If the sea pumice stone knew about it, it would be very angry and sad.

Gan Sui was extremely dissatisfied with this answer, but the Bai family's love for Bai Poria was undoubted, and it was impossible to harm her, if she was killed, then the Bai family had no need to hide it from him.

Gan Sui walked up to Bai Guo to ask clearly, but found that what she burned was not paper money, but paper deeds, which he had seen a lot when he was still Xiaomi, and they were the deeds of sale of the Bai family's slaves.

Poria was very fond of buying people, and then collected many of these deeds of sale, and locked them in a special box like a treasure.

He had seen her count the deeds of sale more than once with her eyes shining like a miser.

Seeing him staring at the paper deed in his hand, Bai Guo blinked a pair of eyes that cried like peaches, and explained: "It was Miss who asked us to burn it before she went, and Miss said that this is evidence that she saved 10,000 people." ”

"Evidence?" Gan Sui repeated it vaguely.

"Yes, Miss said that the King of Jizo Bodhisattva wanted her to save 10,000 people, these are the evidence, and we want us to remember that after she went, one by one was burned." Bai Guo said as he turned over the ashes in the brazier to make sure that the paper deed he had put down was completely burned.

If you go suddenly, how can you have time to explain this kind of thing carefully?

Gan Sui suddenly remembered that the Bai couple had said before that Bai Poria knew that he would not believe her death if he did not verify it with his own eyes, which was clearly like knowing that he was going to die, and after careful consideration, he methodically explained the aftermath one by one, how could it be something that a person who died suddenly could do?

In an instant, some of Bai Poria's strange behaviors, words and deeds in the past were connected.

Gan Sui settled down, tried to restore his mind to clarity, and thought of all the strange things he saw today......

Bai Poria died suddenly, and instead of being sent back to the old mansion of the Jingcheng Pavilion or the Guogong Mansion, she was sent to this Yunque Mountain Courtyard.

There is no trace of a funeral outside the courtyard.

Bai Poria's grandfather Bai Changshan, as well as her brother-in-law Lu Ying and cousin Lin Pingzi never showed up.

There's a clear quirk here!

"What about the old White Pavilion?" Gan Sui asked.

Bai Guo had a bitter face, and said helplessly: "The old lady is afraid that the old lady is old and can't stand the blow, so she doesn't dare to inform the old lady." Don't say it. Pingzi and General Lu had come, and Madame was worried that they would attract the attention of the old lady if they stayed here, so she asked them to go back first. ”

Gan Sui was even more suspicious, this is too much of a coincidence, if Bai Poria was in Beijing as usual these days, this matter could not be hidden from Bai Ge Lao anyway, but she happened to be outside the capital.

"You suddenly left the capital for a few days, wouldn't Bai Ge Lao suspect it?"

"We originally planned to go to Haizhou, but we have already resigned to the old lady." Bai Guo listened to Gansui one question after another, and her heart became a little empty, she didn't want people to hate Miss, even if Miss did something wrong, she had to try to hide it.

Gan Sui vaguely remembered that Zheng Duozhu had said that Bai Poria died yesterday at the foot of the banner mountain outside the capital, and that direction was not the place to pass through Haizhou.

He glanced at Bai Guo without a trace, and saw that her eyes flickered, revealing a sense of vigilance, knowing that he would not ask anything if he asked again, and it was very simple for him to extract a confession, but he had promised Bai Poria that she would not hurt the people around her...... Anyway, many things can be known by just checking them casually.

Gan Sui tried to keep his attention on these doubts, and kept telling himself that as long as he figured out the secret of Bai Poria, there was still a chance to redeem it.

He had a little hope in his heart, and he supported himself to stand up, and he wanted to go to comfrey to find out everything.

Outside the hall, a figure suddenly flashed, and a handsome young man in his twenties walked in, and Gan Sui recognized at a glance that this was Fang Hai, a young man with very good medical skills under the Bai family.

Fang Hai's expression was sleepy and depressed, and he couldn't see the neat and refreshing appearance of the past at all, he walked up to Gan Sui, handed him an envelope, and said angrily: "Miss asked me to give it to you." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Gan Sui again, walked to Bai Guo's side, and hurriedly rummaged through Bai Poria's box full of deed of sale.

Gan Sui quickly opened the envelope, and there was a prescription inside, seeing that the handwriting was not from Bai Poria Cocos' hand, Gan Sui suddenly lost the ** to read it, but he thought that he might be able to find clues about Bai Poria Cocos' bizarre death, and he cheered up and took a closer look.

The name and dosage of the medicinal herbs came into view, and the more Gan Sui looked at it, the paler his face became, and he turned his head and said coldly: "What is this?" ”

"The recipe for the Forgetfulness Pill." Fang Hai didn't raise his head, just rummaged through the deed of sale.

Forgetfulness Pill, as the name suggests, is a magical elixir that can make people lose part of their emotional memory, it has never been known by its name, if Fang Hai is not the first divine doctor in the world, he will not be able to come up with such a rare prescription.

Gan Sui was like being struck by lightning, Bai Poria asked people to give him the recipe of the Forgetful Love Pill, the meaning couldn't be clearer, she wanted him to forget her, forget all the affection and sweet memories that had existed between the two!

Gan Sui crumpled the prescription into a ball, and it took a lot of effort to control the anger and grief surging in his heart, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

In the hall, Bai Guo was provoked by Fang Hai's rude rummaging, and pushed him away with one hand and said, "If you don't help, what's the mess?" ”

Fang Hai ignored it, bypassed Bai Guo and came over to continue, but Bai Guo couldn't really hit him, so he had to stop in front of the box and said, "What are you looking for?" ”

"My deed of sale." Fang Hai replied, his eyes never leaving the box.

"Miss said it was going to be burned, what did you find out for? Miss said, no matter whether you can earn enough money or not, you have done enough for the Bai family over the years, and you have enough to redeem yourself. Bai Guo was very puzzled, Fang Hai's temperament would never be careful to be afraid that the Bai family would hide his deed of sale.

Fang Hai didn't answer her, his eyes suddenly moved to the stack of deeds of sale that Bai Awu was holding, and by chance he happened to see one of them that seemed to be his own, he snatched it over, took out the paper deed and looked at it, it was indeed his, his face suddenly showed a look of joy, and he clutched the paper deed as if it was his life.

Bai Guo came over to take a look, this paper deed was different from most of the Bai family's paper deed, it was handwritten, and the handwriting was clumsy and messy, which was clearly Bai Poria's masterpiece when she was a child.

In the early days, the Bai family did not have a paper deed in a fixed format, and Bai Poria would occasionally write the deed by himself, but later he probably felt that he was really ashamed to see people with his broken hand, so he changed it to let others write it, and finally simply engraved the proprietary format directly.

Bai Guo suddenly understood the meaning behind Fang Hai's strange behavior—it was the only letter that Bai Poria had written for him personally, with Bai Poria's name on it, as well as his ......

Bai Guo sniffed and said angrily: "You go and copy a copy yourself, draw a copy and let me burn it, otherwise Miss will blame me for not being able to do a little thing at all!" ”

Fang Hai bowed to her, took the pen and walked to the coffin of Bai Poria on the ground and sat beside him to silently copy his deed of sale.

Bai Guo looked at the sleeping white poria in the coffin, and suddenly felt a little resentful of the Jizo King Bodhisattva.
