The patriarch followed Murong Xi and Ji Limo and did not hear Murong Xi's words. He just saw the sad look on Murong Xi's face and knew that the children's condition was not simple.
Ji Limo also had a surprised look on his face. The clan leader seemed to care about these people very much. If he had done anything to do this, he would not have asked them to diagnose and treat these people, because just diagnosing the pulse would reveal their flaws.
Returning to the inner hall, the patriarch still couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Your Highness the Saint, what happened to these children?"
"There are more than twenty children who came here for pulse diagnosis, and all the girls have become vessels for cultivating poison." Murong Xi said coldly.
She was really angry. Who was so cruel? There were three-month-old babies among these girls. How could he do this?
The clan leader was shocked. It was unbelievable that all the girls in the clan had been poisoned with poison. Should he discuss it with the elders of the clan to find out who was so crazy?
"Holy Girl, I don't know who is so cruel to do such cruel things to these children. Please ask Holy Girl to uphold justice. If you find this person, please hand it over to our clan for disposal." The patriarch said angrily.
Murong Xi could see that the patriarch's eyes seemed to be filled with fire, and he seemed to be really angry.
"The person who can leave poisonous insects on so many children should be in your clan. The reason why I didn't say too much just now was because I was worried that the matter would be exposed. However, I just checked the pulse of those children alone, and it might be
It aroused his idea. Ah Mo, be careful in the back hall." Murong Xi thought that his actions just now might arouse people's suspicion.
Ji Limo nodded and ordered the men in black to arrange the arrangements. But the clan leader seemed to suddenly realize it and said: "Master Wu Zun, Master Saint, the person who left the poisonous insects on those girls is probably Xun'er.
Second uncle. He has always been ambitious, who knows if this is another conspiracy of his."
"No, it is impossible for the second uncle to do this. Patriarch, although the second uncle has different ideas from ours, he is not as ambitious as you think." Obviously, Elder Pu did not agree with the patriarch's words.
"Xun'er, have you forgotten that he followed you into Fengtian Sect, killed the guards of Fengtian Sect, and injured the elders of Fengtian Sect? If he had no ambition, why would he follow you secretly?
Open?" the patriarch advised.
Murong Xi didn't know why the two people suddenly quarreled, but he didn't want to hear them continue to quarrel, so he looked at Ji Limo and said to him: "I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."
"Aye, take Xi'er back to your dormitory." Ji Limo said.
Feng Mingye nodded and took Murong Xi back to his dormitory.
Ji Limo said to the clan leader and Elder Pu: "You should rest first. I will send someone to inform you if there is a cure."
"Yes." The two of them responded and went back to their houses.
Ji Limo then went to the dormitory of Murong Xi and Feng Mingye. As expected, as soon as he entered the palace, the two of them were waiting for his arrival.
Of course, Murong Xi was not really tired and wanted to rest, but wanted to find out the whole story. Although Feng Mingye told her a lot, she still didn't quite understand.
After Ji Limo came in and sat down, Murong Xi said, "Aye just told me that the people who broke into Fengtian Sect were Elder Pu and her second uncle?"
Ji Limo said: "I can only confirm that Elder Pu broke into Fengtian Sect. The identity of that person has not been made clear. But the patriarch has always said that the person who broke into Fengtian Sect should be Elder Pu's second uncle.
Because the only elder in the clan is Elder Pu’s second uncle, who has the ability to follow Elder Pu into Fengtian Sect.”
Murong Xi heard something different. She said: "In other words, it is not certain whether this second uncle is the second uncle. He has always been the clan leader's suspicion, right?"
Ji Limo said: "Yes, these are the clan leader's suspicions. Even Elder Pu has not seen his second uncle."
"But all the evidence is only against the second uncle, right?" Murong Xi asked.
"Of course I'm not that stupid, I'm just pretending to agree with the clan leader's guess." Ji Limo said.
In fact, at the beginning, he really thought that the patriarch's guess was right. After all, only the patriarch knew the situation of the Saintess clan best. But later, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, because the patriarch would mention it inadvertently.
The second uncle always carefully reminds himself that the person with the problem is the second uncle.
"So, the character of Second Uncle has not appeared yet, right?" Murong Xi asked.
Ji Limo said: "Yes, I have always been worried that he would return to Fengtian Sect, but I didn't expect that he has not appeared until now."
"Where is the saint?" Murong Xi asked.
Since the Saintess clan has been brought back by Ji Limo, I believe that the Saintess has been brought back to Fengtian Sect by him. It would be better to go to the Saintess and ask about the situation in their clan.
"I locked the saint in a dark room in the forbidden area." Ji Limo said.
"I want to go see him, but I don't know if it's convenient?" Murong Xi asked.
Ji Limo nodded and said, "Of course, I'm just worried about whether she has the strength to speak."
Ji Limo took Feng Mingye and Murong Xi to the forbidden area. After going down to the underground secret room, they went directly to the room where the saint was imprisoned.
The saint's room was a little dark, and Murong Xi asked: "Is the room so dark?"
"Her eyes can't see things that are too bright. You'll know when you go in." Ji Limo said.
Feng Mingye was worried, holding Murong Xi's hand and refusing to let go, and followed the two of them into the dark room.
When the saint felt someone coming in, she raised her eyelids very slowly. When she saw it was Ji Limo, she opened her mouth but did not make any sound.
This was the first time Murong Xi met Yin Yue's mother, but she had heard that the saint's appearance should be the same as that of Yin Yue, but she was shocked when she saw her today, because at this moment, the saint's hair was covered with silver threads.
of wrinkles.
In order to let the saint speak, Ji Limo took out a pill and stuffed it into the saint's mouth. Only then did the saint have the strength to open her eyes again and said: "It turns out to be Lord Wu. I thought I would never see him again."
It’s your turn.”
Yinyue's mother told the truth. She thought she would die alone here, and would never see anyone else except someone who would bring three meals a day to the house.
"I never thought I would see you again. I have something to ask you. I hope you tell the truth." Ji Limo said coldly.
Murong Xi thought for a while and then said: "Holy Girl, how long have you and your people been in Nanzhao Kingdom?"
When Yinyue's mother heard that Murong Xi's voice was very pleasant, she looked at her carefully. Although her eyes were a little blurry, she could tell that Murong Xi was very beautiful.
She knew that it would not be easy for Ji Limo to bring someone to the secret room to question her. So, she answered with doubts: "About three months ago, the clan leader told me that we need to move to Nanzhao Kingdom. Because
Backlash, I could only stay in the darkness. Because almost all the people in the tribe knew witchcraft, so we came to the other hospital in Nanzhao without any effort. Because we needed to treat me, we had to change the other hospital into an inn.
.”
Murong Xi continued to ask: "I heard that your clan leader has got married and plans to marry Elder Pu, right?"
"This is what the patriarch told you, right? The patriarch is right. Girls of our lineage have always married the patriarch since ancient times. Especially when they are in love with each other, it is even more joyful."
There was a loving expression on the woman's face.
This made Murong Xi very confused. Yin Yue was obviously her daughter, but she was so cruel and used Yin Yue to test medicine for her. But this Xun'er was just her descendant, yet she cared so much about her.
"The saint seems to like Xun'er very much?" Murong Xi continued to ask.
"Actually, my original appearance is very similar to Xun'er. When I see her, I think of me before. However, she is luckier than me and can get married to the person she likes." The saint said.
Murong Xi once met Yin Yue, and Yin Yue looked completely different from Xun'er. Ji Limo once said that the saint looked the same as Yin Yue, so how could she be the same as Xun'er?
So, Murong Xi looked at Ji Limo, who nodded and promised to tell her what happened after she went out.
"Have you met Xun'er's second uncle?" Murong Xi asked.
"Her second uncle? Of course I have met him before," the saint said.
"I heard that this second uncle is not an elder in the clan, but he is more powerful than the elders, right?" Murong Xi asked.
Murong Xi made people unprepared, because the Saint was still wary of Murong Xi at the beginning, but she did not expect that Murong Xi would just chat and ask about the family affairs of her clan.
Then, the saint said: "Yes, in fact, Xun'er should succeed the saint, and her father is the elder. But because of me, Xun'er had to take over as the elder. Xun'er has suffered a lot since he was a child.
, her second uncle loves her very much, even more than her father. Could it be that something happened to her second uncle? "
"Why did the saint ask that?" This time, it was Murong Xi's turn to ask.
"I have just said that Xun'er's second uncle loves her very much. But Xun'er likes the patriarch very much and told him everything I said to her. From then on, his purpose of going to the forbidden land was no longer
Simple. Now that you have met Xun'er, you should know that our clan members all inherit a disease. In the past, only people who practiced forbidden arts would be affected by it. But in the past few decades, even if they do not practice forbidden arts, they will still get the disease.
Death. And I have lived in Fengtian Sect for a long time, so I naturally know that there are books about forbidden arts in the forbidden area. Of course, there will also be books about healing after backlash. The father of the patriarch in this matter is also the former patriarch.
I know that. But except for Yin Yue, no one has ever been able to break into Fengtian Sect. What I didn't expect was that Yin Yue went to Fengtian Sect and came back and found nothing." The saint's thoughts were brought back to ten
years ago.
She paused and continued: "One day, Xun'er greeted me and talked about Fengtian Sect. Inadvertently, I mentioned the tribe and told Xun'er the story about the tribe. But I didn't expect that,
Xun'er will tell the clan leader about this. After he found out, he began to plan to return to the tribe. After Xun'er's second uncle found out about this, he raised objections. He was worried that something would happen to Xun'er because he wanted to
If you want to return to the tribe, you must venture to the forbidden area again to find the map. But now the only person who can enter Fengtian Sect is Xun'er."
"Doesn't even the patriarch have this ability?" Murong Xi asked in surprise.
