Chapter 21 Undertaking

In the early morning, there was a knock on the door of the secret room, and two female disciples of the Xiuyun Sect who were in charge of cleaning and cleaning came in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as they were about to leave after cleaning, Master Hui Nian, who had been meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, got up and saluted, "Amitabha, there are two female benefactors. Can you ask the two Acting Elders to send a message to Sect Master Xue and ask her to deign to come here for a while?"

The two female disciples were quite polite to this senior monk of Jishi Temple, and hurriedly agreed, and then left the secret room.

Master Hui Nian came to Xiao Yu's side and saw that he was still sitting reclining against the stone wall, one right hand gently caressing the bluestone ground under him, as if thinking about something.

Master Hui Nian put his hand on his forehead again, and found that it was no longer hot, and he couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the strangeness of the Yin Clan's human physique.

"Master, can you rest assured now?" Xiao Yu smiled as he pursed the corners of his lips.

"Amitabha, seeing that the donor's injury is no longer serious, the old man is indeed very relieved. Last night, while he was talking, the donor suddenly fainted, which really worried the old man for a while, but fortunately, the donor's breath was quite stable at that time, and he thought that the coma was caused by excessive wear. Therefore, the old man did not dare to disturb him, so he had to hold back the doubts in his stomach all night, and ask again when the donor came to his senses. ”

Xiao Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "I just fell asleep last night, if the master really has something to ask, just wake me up, why did I stay in my heart all night!

Master Hui Nian glanced at the young man who had always been hard-mouthed, shook his head helplessly, and hurriedly asked about the matter that had bothered him all night.

"If the emperor knew that the old man had not been poisoned by the Endless Pill, he would not give the antidote to the Endless Pill to the Snow Sect Master, then how could the donor's erysipelas be cured?"

Xiao Yu didn't expect that this old Zen master would think so much about him, an irrelevant person, and he didn't know how to answer him for a while. After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is no antidote there! With the vicious nature of Gonggong Zheng's traitorous eunuch, he has always taken pleasure in appreciating the suffering of others, how can he bother to refine the antidote to the Endless Pill?"

Master Huinian couldn't help but be stunned, "The donor is saying that this Endless Pill was actually refined by Gonggong Zheng?"

"Not bad. In fact, as early as ten years ago, he wanted to use this Endless Pill on my body, but at that time, due to the lack of medicine, the Endless Pill could not be refined in time. He already had the heart to extinguish his mouth, so he didn't have any scruples in front of me, not only told him how he got the prescription for refining the Endless Pill, but also said that it was extremely difficult to refine this thing, it took two years to get one, and the antidote would take another two years. He didn't want to bother refining any antidote, so he deliberately set the price of the antidote so high that no one dared to ask about it. ”

"But the old man heard that Lan Qingjian, the lone sword back then, got the antidote from Gonggong Zhengβ€”"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "That antidote is fake." Back then, Gonggong Zheng used the Endless Pill to force out the location of his meeting with his family teacher from Lan Qingjian, but he didn't expect that this matter was accidentally leaked, and it suddenly spread in the rivers and lakes. In order to save the royal face, Gonggong Zheng gave Lan Qingjian a fake antidote in public, but behind his back, he used his family to coerce him and forced him to commit suicide to cover up the truth. Lan Qingjian wrote everything down in a letter before he killed himself and left it to his teacher. He didn't want to ask for the forgiveness of the family teacher, but wanted to remind the family teacher before he died, beware of Gonggong Zheng and his endless pill with the power of ecstasy. ”

"In this way, the Endless Pill in the donor's place is actually incomprehensible?" Master Hui Nian asked urgently, his face full of anxiety.

Xiao Yu smiled disapprovingly, "That's not necessarily." Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, how can there be an incurable poison?"

"But until the antidote is found, the benefactor will have to endure this every dayβ€”"

"Master!" Xiao Yu softly stopped Master Huinian from continuing, "Master once said that he was willing to keep his promise to his family teacher for the rest of his life. Then let the rest of the things be borne by you. ”

Master Huinian shook his head and recited the Buddha's name, and finally sighed helplessly.

Xiao Yu just said calmly: "Sect Master Snow is here in an instant, and there is another important word to tell the master, please remember this word, and after returning to the temple, pass it on to the person who asked you about my whereabouts." ”

"Donor, please. ”

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face, and he said softly: "I will return within the year, don't read it." ”

"Amitabha, the old man has written it down, and it will definitely live up to the benefactor's trust!" Master Huinian said solemnly.

"Thank you so much, master!" Xiao Yu also said solemnly.

Before Master Huinian could reply, he heard Xiao Yu suddenly raise his voice and ask, "Master, do you know why Sect Master Xue is in a hurry to see the emperor today?"

Master Hui Nian was slightly stunned, and then understood that Xiao Yu was saying this to Xue Youyou, who had already arrived outside the door of the secret room, and immediately said, "It must be to get an antidote for the donor." ”

"That's not necessarily! Until she gets all the secrets she wants to know, Sect Master Xue will definitely not give me the antidote, so there is no need to rush to get the antidote today. Besides, maybe the antidote was already in the hands of the Snow Sect Master, and she didn't need to ask for it at all. ”

"Then why did the donor say so sure that the Snow Sect Master would enter the palace to face the saint today?"

"Because she wants to preserve the Master. When she got the Endless Pill from Gonggong Zheng yesterday, she may not have thought of the emperor's intentions, but after careful consideration this night, with the wisdom of the Xue Sect Master, she should have already figured out the stakes. How could the emperor hand over Jishi Temple into the hands of a person he could not control? Since he knew that the emperor had the intention of killing the master by her hand, the Snow Sect Master should be able to think that the emperor might also have the intention of killing her. Therefore, if she wants to protect herself, she must first protect the master. ”

There is some truth in what the donor said. It's just that the holy will is hard to violate, how can the Snow Sect Master protect the old man?"

"Of course, before the holy will is decided, quickly go and admit to the emperor that she did not give the master the Endless Pill, but the master yourself took the initiative to tell the secret of the Tibetan Stream Valley. In this way, the emperor should have put an end to the heart of harming the master. Even the emperor is still unwilling to let the master go, but he has lost the best opportunity to make a move on you this time. Moreover, if the emperor is aware that the master and the Snow Sect Master have joined forces, then when he wants to do harm again in the future, he will definitely have some scruples and dare not act rashly-"

"You cunning boy has thought it through!"

Xue Youyou, who was listening more and more frightened outside the door, finally couldn't help but scold angrily, and then pushed the door in with a gloomy face.
