Chapter Twenty-Nine: Xuanshi
Mo Qingxi had just arrived at the arch that the housekeeper said, and saw a white corner of clothes fluttering in the wind at the door.
"Master?" Mo Qingxi exclaimed in surprise as he walked through the arch. In the past six years, except for going to Hefeng Yuan once every half a month to give King An a prescription, she was just waiting for her at the door of Liulizhai, and she had never seen the master go out of the courtyard at other times.
Thinking of this, Mo Qingxi couldn't help but squeeze the jade pendant in her hand hard, with wide sleeves to cover it, she wasn't worried that the master would see this thing.
Who knows, Mo Li's gaze suddenly fell on her sleeve, "Xi'er, what are you holding in your hand?"
It's Xuanqi, and it's somewhat familiar, it's his!
"Master, let's go back first. Mo Qingxi lowered her eyes and said, she had forgotten that this thing was given to Ye Jiuchen by the master, and the master must be familiar with the Xuan Qi on this jade pendant.
Mo Li turned around, and the master and apprentice returned to Liulizhai without saying a word.
"I heard Miss Bixia say that you were taken away by your teaching gentleman?" Mo Li asked as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Yes, his name is Yun Qianyan, he was originally a military advisor under the tent of King Ding'an, but because there is no war now, he teaches in the palace, and his knowledge is not bad, but he is a little indifferent. Mo Qingxi said in detail, but she felt that these masters should have known about it a long time ago.
Mo Li nodded and pushed open the door, "Come in and talk." ”
Mo Qingxi obediently followed in, and immediately picked up the tea on the table and poured a cup for his master, "However, in fact, it was Ye Jiuchen who was looking for me, and this was also given to me by him." ”
As he spoke, he put the jade pendant he was holding in his left hand on the table.
Mo Li looked at the familiar patterns on it, as well as the familiar Xuanqi, "What did he tell you?"
"He said that there was news from Shi Niang, and it was very definite news. Shi Niang is in Xuandu, and it seems that she was caught by the gang who poisoned King Ding'an. Mo Qingxi poured himself a cup of tea, sat down opposite Mo Li and said.
Hearing this news, Mo Li was very calm, just as calm as when she heard in Huai'an Village that she might appear at the Ascension Conference.
It is impossible to see that he is looking for a very important person.
"Xi'er, what do you think?" asked Moli after taking a sip of tea.
"The news may not be true, but the fact that he has a relationship with Shi Niang is not necessarily false. Mo Qingxi rubbed the white jade cup with his small hand and said lightly.
Mo Li couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, "Why do you think so?"
Mo Qingxi pursed his lips, "When he told me the news, there was too much foreshadowing, and there was a hint that he didn't want you to go." ”
"The bottom line is that the reasons he doesn't want you to know are too far-fetched for me. But it seems to me that you are not wary of this person, and once your whereabouts are exposed, there will be a lot of trouble, and because you want to find the master, you are not happy to have those troubles pestering you. For the first time, Mo Qingxi talked to his master about his hidden whereabouts, and told all his guesses.
A pair of clear and bright eyes stared at Mo Li without blinking, hoping that the master could tell her whether her guess was right or not.
Mo Li chuckled, "That's a good guess, you little head, you turn fast enough." ”
Judging from the fact that those people only dare to act in secret, the people who are sent down are indeed not a good climate.
It's like a fly, it doesn't bite people, but it's annoying. The most important thing is that he and Yue'er still have important things to do, but they can't be targeted.
After getting the master's affirmation, Mo Qingxi smiled with crooked eyebrows, "So, I think Ye Jiuchen must know the master, but maybe like the master, she completely hides herself, so Ye Jiuchen can't guess her identity." ”
"Then the master knew that it was dangerous for him to go to Xuan this time, so she asked him to tell me so, so that even if the master didn't follow, he would still have me, a disciple of the divine doctor, by his side, and his life would be safe. ”
Otherwise, it's too strange, what is the current body of King Ding'an, others don't know, but Ye Jiuchen, the younger brother, knows best. Ye Jiuxiao's current body, even if it is compared to his younger brother's, is not much worse, okay, it is complete, completely good.
The reason why Master didn't go to see it once in half a month was just to confuse those pervasive spies.
"Xi'er, in fact, if you can, you want to guess as well. Mo Li sighed.
"Ah, Master, my guess is wrong?" Mo Qingxi was disappointed, Master obviously denied his guess, Master and Ye Jiuchen have nothing to do with it?
She still feels that she is nine times out of ten, and she will definitely be able to find Shi Niang this time!
Mo Li turned around to find his medicine box, found a tightly tied handkerchief, handed it to Mo Qingxi, and raised his chin to signal her to open it.
His lips were pursed, and a faint sadness crossed his old eyes.
Mo Qingxi's first feeling when he took it was that the handkerchief was very hard wrapped in it, and the second feeling was that the edges and corners of this thing were extremely irregular, like something broken.
Carefully put the handkerchief on the table, untied the string on it, and slowly unfolded the handkerchief, only to see that the handkerchief was a pile of broken pieces that I didn't know what to do.
Why do you say that, because everything in it is red, bloody, and indescribably bewitching.
"This is, jade?" Mo Qingxi asked with a uncertain look at his master. Because no matter in her previous life or present life, she had never seen anything like jade, and she didn't know anything about it, so she couldn't judge.
Mo Li shook his head gently, "This is a Xuan Stone, and what makes it different from ordinary jade is that it has an abundance of Xuan Qi in it. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the piece of jade pendant that Ye Jiuchen gave to Mo Qingxi on the table, "This is actually an imitation of this eight-petal blood lotus Xuanxue jade, so that they can help me find someone." And this real eight-petal blood lotus Xuanxue jade has a total of two pieces, which is a token of love between me and your master, its original color is cyan, but because of the blood of the two of us, it will become the current color. ”
"And because there is Xuan Qi in this Xuanxue Jade, it can allow the person holding them to be able to sense the other party's location and even life. ”
"What does Master mean is that now because this Xuanxue Jade is broken, do you think Master Niang is no longer there?" Mo Qingxi couldn't help but ask.
Although Moli has never wanted to admit it, this is the only possibility.
Looking at Master's acquiescing attitude, Mo Qingxi sighed slightly, and supported his chin with his little hand, "Master, are you sure that this Xuanxue Jade is only broken because the master is not alive?"
"Xi'er, I understand what you mean, but this Xuanxue Jade is harder than the Xuanxian Iron in this world, and there should be no external force to break it. Mo Qingxi said this, he had already thought of it, the reason why he insisted on searching for so many years was nothing more than a trace of unrealistic delusion.
