Just when Chen An was thinking about what the Heavenly Secret Vault was. Mu Shaoping continued to say without being shocked: "And I suspect that the killing of your family is related to the Heavenly Secret Vault. ”

Chen An's eyes widened, and he only heard Mu Shaoping continue: "Because your father has a piece of Heavenly Secret Key. ”

"What the hell is that?" Chen An said abruptly. Mu Qing also looked at her father curiously, she had never heard her father say anything about the secret secrets of heaven, even when she was taken into exile by her father, she was also ignorant, and she became sensible later, but she was already used to such days, she only thought that her father was benevolent and compassionate, and wandered around just to cure diseases and save people and solve people's dangers. Today, I realized that all this actually has another hidden story.

Mu Shaoping said slowly: "This goes back to more than 100 years ago, according to legend, Xu Shu, the doctor of Guanglu of the previous dynasty, hid a number of treasures when the previous dynasty was destroyed, these treasures are worth a lot of money, and they are rich enough to rival the country." And there is only a piece of jade jue pointing to this secret treasure, which was divided into four by Xu Shu and handed over to his four henchmen, in order to use this treasure to restore the old country in the future. ”

Chen Anxin was puzzled and then asked, "What does it have to do with my father, could it be that my Chen family ancestor is one of Xu Shu's henchmen?"

Mu Qing also asked: "No, you seem to have said just now, this is a secret in the Xinglin family, could it be that Xu Shu's four henchmen are all Langzhong?"

Mu Shaoping's eyes were confused, as if he was reminiscing: "I don't know if the rumors of that treasure are true or not, but I did hear your father tell another version of the story, Guanglu Doctor Xu Shu is a hereditary title, when he was a teenager, he had no intention of politics at all, and he did not want to be bound by the rise and fall of the family, and he wanted to seek immortals. So he broke his home and traveled all over the world, looking for famous mountains and monuments just to get the magic of immortality. It's been twenty years, and no one knows where he went. It's just that twenty years later, he returned to the Xu family again, and the Xu family had already fallen at that time, and the court of the previous dynasty was also in turmoil. He actually used his own talent to support the government, until it was really inviolable, he took the young emperor to sail out to sea and disappeared. ”

"What does that have to do with the Vault of Celestial Machines? ”

"Xu Shu was just a gentleman when he left home, but when he reappeared, he had the ability to go through the heavens and the earth, and it was even rumored that he was proficient in mechanical arithmetic, medicine Xingbu, Qimen Dunjia, and so on, and even had a weird and wonderful martial arts. It is rumored that he once received four disciples, and each of them gave a broken jade jue, and the unity of the jade jue could open the place where he learned the art of his youth, the Heavenly Machine Secret Mansion, where there was a fairy wonderland, with countless treasures, and even an elixir of immortality, and the secret art of cultivating immortals. ”

Mu Qing looked yearning: "Dad, is there really such a place?"

Mu Shaoping smiled bitterly: "Who knows? This has been more than a hundred years, and people have passed it down for six or seven generations, and they all listen to it as myths, and no one has ever seen what the Heavenly Secret Treasure is like." ”

Mu Qing asked, "Have the four Heavenly Machine Keys never been united?"

"After Xu Shu left, there was endless war, and his four disciples lost contact, and when more than a hundred years have passed since the first emperor ruled the world, who can still find each other. Mu Shaoping replied, while looking at Chen An, who was contemplating and contemplating, he couldn't help sighing, and felt out an object from the bookshelf behind him, which was triangular in shape, smooth and warm, white as clotted fat, and was actually a piece of fine mutton fat white jade.

Chen An and Mu Qing were stunned, and exclaimed in unison: "Heavenly Machine Key?"

"That's right," Mu Shaoping nodded, but looking at their puzzled expressions, he opened his mouth to explain: "Xiao An, this is something that your father accidentally obtained when he was practicing medicine, and according to your father's inference, it should be that one of the four disciples did not leave a inheritance, so that this jade jue was passed on." He got it into his own hands at some cost. And when I learned of this rumor, I was curious, and I asked your father to play with it, but I never had a chance to return it again. ”

As he spoke, he put the jade jue in Chen An's hand, ignored Chen An's surprised eyes and continued: "I didn't want to hand it over to you, but I think that even those people don't know that your father has two jade jue in his hand, so he decided to return the item to its original owner and hand it over to you for safekeeping, at least to keep a thought." ”

Chen An looked at the jade jue in his hand in a daze, he knew that Mu Shaoping did not mean to take it for himself, but for the purpose of protecting him, he wanted to keep this "bane" in his hands. Because even Chen An didn't believe the second rumor. If the first one is more credible, the second one is too exaggerated, what kind of cultivation of immortals is simply nonsense.

But since those murderers don't know, there is no need for this, and they can indeed leave it for themselves as a memorial, as long as they don't show it to others.

Mu Qing saw him staring at Yu Jue with a gloomy expression, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold Chen An's palm, pulled him to his side, and comforted him softly: "Xiao An, it's been so long, don't be too sad, you and me and Daddy, we are all your relatives." ”

Chen An held a soft wattle in his palm, soft as boneless, cool and smooth, his face was red and his heartbeat accelerated a little, and he nodded noncommittally.

Mu Shaoping looked at Mu Qing's comfort to Chen An and the change in Chen An's face, thoughtfully, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth.

"Xiao An, you can live with us in the future, since Huan'er got married, my father and I have been too lonely. Mu Qing didn't pay attention to Chen An's expression, firstly, she followed Mu Shaoping to the south and north since she was a child, and she was less reserved than everyone's ladies, but she had more of the boldness of the children of the rivers and lakes, and secondly, she recalled the scene when she and Chen An slept in the same room and bathed in the same room when she was a child, and she was cordial, so she didn't have so many scruples.

"Okay, okay" Chen Anxin wanted to take them to Binxian to take care of them nearby, but when he thought of his task, he lived and stopped, even if they were in chaos in Haizhou, they would not be affected here, but if they went with themselves, it would be a blessing and a curse, so he changed his words and said: "I still have a job in Binxian, and when I deal with it almost, I will move over and live with you, and I will often come to see you during this time." ”

Mu Qing muttered: "You still have so many things to do, okay, you must come then." Then she thought of something again, her lips flattened, and she stared at Mu Shaoping and said, "Daddy, we won't have to leave." Mu Qing has been running around since she was a child, and she has long been tired of this life, but she can't disobey her father, so she has to inquire carefully.

"Not for the time being", Mu Shaoping responded absentmindedly, turned his head and asked Chen An solemnly: "Xiao An, you have your own career, and your uncle is happy for you, but the Secret Division of the Holy Court is really ...... If you can leave, try to leave, it is not a long-term solution. ”

Chen An knew how dark the Dark Division was in the eyes of the world, and Mu Shaoping was also kind, so he nodded and responded: "The little nephew is provincial, after the little nephew takes revenge, he will leave the Dark Division." ”

Listening to his words, Mu Qing didn't react, but Mu Shaoping was shocked, but he knew very well how powerful those people were back then, and blurted out in a hurry: "What? You still want revenge! You know ......"

Chen An's face sank, and he interrupted: "The revenge of destroying the door, I don't share the sky, I don't take revenge, I swear not to be a person." ”

Mu Shaoping was stunned, but he still said with a sad face: "That's right, but those people ......."

Chen An knew what Mu Shaoping meant, and interrupted again: "No matter how huge the power of those people is, I am climbing up step by step in the dark division, and one day I will be able to surpass them." ”

This sentence is a bit presumptuous, but people avenge their father, it is justified, but Mu Shaoping can't dissuade him, so he has to secretly say in his heart: It's just that it seems that he has made up his mind, no matter what I say, he won't listen, and let him first and slowly enlighten him in the future.

So he said: "Since you are determined to do so, then I will not say anything more, but you must remember that you must plan before acting, if you can't do it, don't force it, you must know that the parents of the body are not filial piety if they don't cherish themselves." ”

Chen An saluted solemnly: "Little nephew, remember." ”

"There is one more thing you have to remember", Mu Shaoping's tone was solemn again: "Don't fall into the whirlpool of hatred, you must know that you are still young, your life should not be black, there should be many wonderful things." ”

This is a bit mysterious, Chen An didn't know what he meant at all, but he still said perfunctorily: "Little nephew understands." ”

Mu Shaoping knew from the way he looked at him that he was just coping with himself, but thinking that he was still a child, how could he let go of it without experience, so he sighed and said no more.

After that, Chen An recounted the bits and pieces of these years in detail, and the bloody scenes of some tasks were naturally omitted. The father and daughter of the Mu family heard that he had struggled on the death line several times since he was a child, and they were full of pity in their hearts, and they chatted until the third watch, and the three of them slept in separate rooms.

Early the next morning, Chen An set off again and returned to Binxian to pick up Ning'er.

Chen An had already told Mu Shaoping and Mu Qing about Ning'er's life experience, and Mu Shaoping also expressed his willingness to take care of her for Chen An. Chen An let go of one thing at this time, after all, it would be very troublesome to send Ning'er all the way to the capital, and Ning'er had to stay alone in the unaccompanied capital for the rest of the year, she was a weak woman, and Chen An was not at ease. Let her stay with Mu Shaoping and Mu Qing together, which is also convenient for Chen An to take care of.

Mu Shaoping put down the hand on Ning Erhao's wrist and shook his head at Chen An: "Miss Ning Er was born like this, ordinary medicine stones are useless. ”

Chen An frowned and said, "Is there no other way?" Although Chen An can also treat some minor diseases, his medical skills are not his strength. And Mu Shaoping was born as an imperial doctor, and his medical skills were never under Chen Hong, so he handed over Ning'er to Mu Shaoping for diagnosis.

Mu Shaoping thought for a long time before saying: "It's not that there is no way, you have to cut the transverse bone, but the risk is quite large, and because Miss Ning'er has never spoken, even if she is cured, she has to start over like a baby babbling and learning to speak, and if you want to be like a normal person, I am afraid it will take three or five years to speak fluently." ”

It took a long time to recover, and Chen An didn't care, but the "risky" made him hesitate.

At this time, Ning Er walked to his Chen An's side, stretched out her hand and pulled him, and nodded with a resolute face.

I don't know why, Chen An can always understand what the little girl means, sighed, and said to Mu Shaoping: "I don't know how sure my uncle is." ”

Mu Shaoping twisted his beard and said: "If the medicine is sufficient and the conditions permit, this operation should be counted as an eight-point calculation." ”

Mu Qing followed Mu Shao to the doctor, and his medical skills were also extraordinary, so he glanced at Ning Er with pity and said: "Eighty points is not small, we will start preparing now, and we will be able to operate in half a month." ”

Chen An secretly thought that Mu Qing's words were reasonable, and looked at Ning Er again, Ning Er's big watery eyes were full of smiles.

He turned his head to Mu Shao and saluted, "Then there is Uncle Lao." ”
