Chapter 668: Dead People Don't Die
Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Hanjiang shook his robe and said in a surging voice: "Your reaction like that in the daytime, anyone will be suspicious." β
Qing Yao looked at Lu Hanjiang indifferently and said: "That's right, I was really careless, I didn't expect you to come for me from the beginning, so I accidentally exposed some for a while, but, that's all." β
He stared at Lu Hanjiang and said, "Even so, how dare you think it's me?" β
Lu Hanjiang smiled: "Qingyao - Qingyao Mountain has fairy grass, the beauty of the clothes, its name is Xuncao, I am used to these mountain ghost legends, so I have a slight impression of the stories told in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." β
Qing Yao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then sighed: "Strange theology, scholars think it is crooked, the more students who are obsessed with their careers, the more they will not read this book, I have been hiding in the academy for more than ten years under this name, but I didn't expect to be recognized by you at a glance, and I admire it." β
Lu Hanjiang looked at the other party's performance, and only felt funny in his heart, the temptation in the daytime, in fact, he was not absolutely sure at all, he was just deceiving the other party, who would have thought that this person was really fooled.
The name of Qingyao reminded him of the mountain mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the name of Xuncao came out spontaneously, and a Xun character then made him guess that this person was very likely to be related to the dead Xun Yingge.
Then he sent people to dig up the grave, and at first he just wanted to dig something useful out of the mouth of the dead man, who would have thought that the dead man was not dead, and that things would take such a turn.
Lu Hanjiang stared at Qing Yao and asked in a deep voice, "So, you are really Xun Yingge?" You're not dead? β
γ
Qing Yao's body trembled, and then showed a bitter smile: "Xun Yingge is dead, there is only Qing Yao here." β
The other party's words have been admitted in disguise.
Lu Hanjiang said disdainfully: "Don't come to this set, if you really let it go, why bother to sweep the floor in the academy, you named it Qingyao, don't you hope that someone can see through the meaning behind this name one day?" β
Xun Yingge's last fig leaf was torn off, and he finally couldn't help but plop down and knelt down, he covered his face and cried: "Until now, who in the world will believe that I am Xun Yingge, I have become like this, I have been in the academy for ten years, even the teacher has not been able to recognize me......"
Xun Yingge lost his temper for a while, and then stopped crying, he stood up tremblingly, looked at Lu Hanjiang with some complexity, and asked, "Do you really believe me?" Do you really believe that a young man who should be in his prime will become a dead wood like me? β
"The world is so big, there are no wonders." Lu Hanjiang just replied.
Lu Hanjiang would not have doubted it, if it had been a few years ago, he might have hesitated, but now, with the two examples of Lu Peng and Fang Huayu in front of him, he was already immune to this weirdness.
Xun Yingge sighed slightly: "You have a big heart, and you don't feel scared when you see such strange things." β
"If you're afraid, you won't come to Jiangnan to find out the truth from many years ago."
Lu Hanjiang looked left and right and asked, "Why don't we sit down and talk in another place?" β
Xun Yingge nodded, the two went to his room, sat opposite each other in front of the eucalyptus, and Lu Hanjiang asked the most critical question straight to the point: "How did you become like this?" β
Xun Yingge's eyes flashed a little struggling, he was silent for a long time, raised his head and asked: "You saw through my identity but didn't kill me, I know that you and they are not the same dog, but this matter is important, it is not about my life, how can I believe you?" β
In the end, it is a disciple of the academy, and this kind of pass can still grit his teeth, Lu Hanjiang did not hesitate, and directly took out the biggest magic weapon of this trip, Luo Fuzi's manuscript "Analects".
He put the book on the table, stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Xun Yingge, the other party picked it up and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed greatly, he trembled and said: "This, this is the teacher's handwriting, is it ......?"
When Xun Yingge looked at Lu Hanjiang again, in addition to shock, there was also a strong joy in his eyes, Lu Hanjiang coughed, and said: "You guessed well, I am also a disciple of the teacher, and the entrance is after you, according to the courtesy, I should call you senior brother." β
Xun Yingge's tears unconsciously overflowed from his eyes, he held the book, and said to himself excitedly: "Great, really good, you are the teacher's disciple...... Haha, you turned out to be a disciple of the teacher......! β
After being overjoyed, Xun Yingge couldn't help but ask: "Since you are a disciple of the teacher, the teacher actually allows him to read these idle books?" β
In fact, the Book of Mountains and Seas is not an idle book, but it is rated by the world as the "ancestor of ancient words", which is useless for governing the world, so the disciples of Luo Fuzi have never read it.
β...... Ahem, brother, let's get down to business. β
Lu Hanjiang didn't talk about this topic, he looked at Xun Yingge seriously and asked, "Senior brother, what happened back then?" β
Xun Yingge's face was bitter, and with a long sigh, he began to tell his story.
He used to be a handsome master of the academy, and his painting skills were obtained from Luo Fuzi's true biography, and his calligraphy and painting could almost be put on the market with the works of his teacher Luo Yuanjing.
However, Xun Yingge did not get the teacher's appreciation for this, because he did not derive his own understanding from Luo Yuanjing's paintings, and his works were just very similar.
This is related to Xun Yingge's painting habits, unlike the world's people who rely on speculation and imagination to write, he is a realistic painter, good at painting what he sees meticulously.
And his tragedy also stems from this, that day he was lazy in the garden rockery of the academy, and accidentally watched a strange man and woman meet in the garden.
Seeing that the man was handsome, and the woman was even more captivating, Xun Yingge was directly stunned, and when he went back, he quietly painted the pair of men and women he saw today.
Although this move was a bit offensive, Xun Yingge really couldn't press the impulse to write in his heart, the man didn't mention it, that woman was really the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in this life, if he didn't record this moment, he was afraid that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
After the work was completed, Xun Yingge immediately went to find his best senior brother, Qiao Shifang.
At that time, Qiao Shifang had already abandoned literature and martial arts, became a member of Jinyiwei, and was also removed from the academy by the teacher, but this was only on the surface.
In private, the relationship between the brothers and Qiao Shifang is very good, and there is nothing wrong with the other party in terms of morality.
Xun Yingge was selfish, he couldn't help but want to see this woman again, so he found Qiao Shifang, who had become a Jinyi guard, hoping to quickly find this goddess through the identity of the other party.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Shifang's expression changed greatly after seeing the painting, and after he left the painting, he told Xun Yinge not to mention this matter to anyone after he went back.
But Xun Yingge still didn't expect it after all, after he returned to the academy that day, he immediately fell ill, he was poisoned, and it was an unprecedented and very powerful poison.
The academy invited countless famous doctors, but in the end they couldn't do anything, it happened that the head of the Gongsun family passed through here, he took action to stabilize Xun Yingge's poisonous momentum, and warned him that this poison was fierce, and there was no solution for the time being, so he could only barely maintain his vitality by taking great supplements.
When Xun Yingge said this, his tone had become choked, and his words were unclear, Lu Hanjiang frowned, took over the conversation and asked, "So, the person who harmed you like this is actually Gongsun Huan?" β
"No!" Xun Yingge wiped his face, and said with a hideous gaze: "The person who harmed me like this is Jinyiwei, it's that person!" He was the one who poisoned him! He is the one who wants to kill me! β
Xun Yingge gritted his teeth and said: "I know that this person's status in the hearts of the brothers in the academy is extraordinary, if I say it, you will definitely not believe that it is him, but I ββ! β
Lu Hanjiang sighed slightly, and comforted: "Senior brother, don't worry, I actually know, this person is indeed good at hiding himself, and you are calculated by him, and he only says that he can't prevent it......"
Xun Yingge slapped the eucalyptus and scolded angrily: "I was so naΓ―ve at that time, I really believed that if the teacher came out of the same family, he would be like brothers to us, damn Qi Yunzhou!" β
β...... Wait, who do you say? Hearing this unexpected name, Lu Hanjiang showed a very puzzled expression.
