If it weren't for them, how could so many things have happened to the Fengtian Sect? They stayed in that courtyard just to be discovered by the Fengtian Sect. The purpose of the clan leader was very simple, which was to take the opportunity to enter the Fengtian Sect. So, he took advantage of Yinyue
and Mother Silvery Moon.
At that time, she felt like she was possessed by a demon and didn't pay too much attention to it. Moreover, the clan leader also told her that the witch master would not harm Yinyue's mother and Yinyue, and she actually believed it.
Looking back now, Yinyue's mother and Yinyue were able to survive because the witch master and the saint didn't care too much. Otherwise, the mother and daughter would have been punished long ago due to the canon rules.
Murong Xi saw that Xun'er didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled at her and said to her: "Actually, it was not just because of the clan leader. Although it happened suddenly, at that time, we actually
I still made some preparations. I just didn't expect that the clan leader would hurt those elders. But later, other things happened, so it was more complicated. Are you blaming yourself again? In fact, no matter what decision the clan leader made,
You can't stop him. I believe you know him better than anyone else."
Of course Xun'er knew the clan leader. If she had strongly opposed it at the beginning, the clan leader would have poisoned her long ago.
"You are right, even if I want to stop him, he will not agree." Xun'er said.
Murong Xi suddenly remembered a question and asked: "You and the clan leader grew up together, so you must know him very well. Has the clan leader suddenly changed his personality?"
Xun'er shook his head and said: "My impression of him has not changed much. I just know that he has been smart since he was a child. It's just that his personality is a bit withdrawn and he didn't like to play with other people when he was very young. In fact, that
We were all very young at that time, and now that I think back to him, it may be because he will become the patriarch of the clan in the future, so he will be like this."
It has been like this since childhood, which means that the patriarch's personality has not changed much. So, is the patriarch a Taoist priest?
"So that's the case. If that's the case, it's quite surprising that your relationship has been so good since childhood." Murong Xi said.
"Actually, he has always been cold-tempered and reluctant to talk to others. At that time, we were engaged and we didn't talk much. In order to attract his attention, I took the initiative to tell him the story of Huanyu Fengtian Sect.
Thinking about his unexpected liking, it turns out that at that time, he was already interested in Fengtian Sect. The reason I blame myself is that if I hadn't said too much, he wouldn't have been so interested in Fengtian Sect." Xun
The son said.
It turned out that Xun'er blamed himself for this reason. Murong Xi said: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, because the patriarch is not interested in Fengtian Sect for this reason at all. He should have known about Fengtian Sect for a long time. When you
When I mentioned it, I was so interested in it because it was from the Fengtian Sect."
"Did he already know about the forbidden area and the secret cave?" Xun'er asked incredulously.
After all, the patriarch's face was filled with shock after hearing her story.
"That's right, he already knew about it. Maybe he knew it was true when he heard you mention it. The clan leader only heard about it back then, and you heard what Yinyue's mother said, so he
Only then did I believe that the secret cave and the forbidden area were real things that happened." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"What Xi'er means is that he already knew about the existence of the secret cave when I mentioned it to him?" Xun'er asked in surprise.
She remembered that when she first mentioned the secret cave to the clan leader, the clan leader was full of shock. At that time, she thought that this was really the first time that the clan leader knew about the secret cave of Fengtian Sect. It turned out that he had already heard about it at that time.
"Actually, when he was very young, he heard some secrets about Fengtian Sect, but at that time he didn't believe it was true. However, he didn't expect that one day you would tell him these things. After listening to your words, he
He really believes in the existence of the secret cave. Because he knows that you can't lie, and he learned about it through Yinyue's mother. Therefore, it must not be a lie." Murong Xi murmured.
"It turns out that he knew everything, but he still lied to me." Xun'er shook his head and said.
"Xun'er, don't feel sorry for him, he doesn't know this." Murong Xi said to Xun'er.
"Of course I understand, I just think it's a bit ridiculous. He turns out to know everything, and I'm just like an actor in front of him." Xun'er said mockingly.
"Xun'er is not like this. We are still investigating the matter. You will know when the time comes." Murong Xi said.
"What happened? Did he get into a big trouble? By the way, I remember that after he poisoned me, he wanted me to go into the secret cave with him. Later, it was because he entered the secret cave that he
Were you caught?" Xun'er asked in confusion.
"Xun'er, actually the purpose of the clan leader is not the secret cave. The secret cave is just a passage leading to the ancient tomb." Murong Xi said.
"Ancient tomb? There is an ancient tomb in this mountain?" Xun'er was frightened again.
"Yes, the patriarch has known about this for a long time, but he just didn't believe it. But after hearing you mention it, he became convinced. And he wanted to enter the ancient tomb through the secret cave in the forbidden area because he wanted to take a shortcut.
"He wanted to take you into the secret cave that day, but he actually wanted to use you to attract Ji Limo's attention." Murong Xi said.
"The reason why he entered the secret cave was for the ancient tomb. Did he want to rob the tomb?" Xun'er asked with wide eyes.
Xun'er didn't expect that the clan leader actually wanted to rob the tomb, but how could there be an ancient tomb here?
"It can also be said that there is something he wants to get in the ancient tomb, and he entered the ancient tomb just to find that thing." Murong Xi said.
"But, if that's the case, Master Wu should also know about this. How could it be his turn?" Xun'er said.
"Except for the ancestors, no one else knew about this matter. Even Ji Limo only learned about it later, of course because of the clan leader. Moreover, he should have been to the ancient tomb more than once." Murong Xi said.
said.
"He has been to the ancient tomb a long time ago? Then why did he go in? No, if he broke into the forbidden area, wouldn't he be discovered?" Xun'er asked in surprise.
"He probably entered the ancient tomb from another place, but entering the ancient tomb through the secret cave was a shortcut. What he wanted was near that place." Murong Xi explained.
It turned out that for this reason, the clan leader had actually been to that ancient tomb. But when did he go there? You must know that although the place where they lived before was not very far away, it was not easy to enter the ancient tomb.
How did he do it?
"But, how did he do it? Even if we are very close to Fengtian Sect, it will take time to enter the ancient tomb and come out again. Besides, even if he is the patriarch, he cannot leave the village easily. The village will
Someone was guarding him. How did he do it?" Xun'er couldn't believe it. You must know that the elders who arranged the night watch were very keen. Even if the clan leader went out, the night watch would not let him go easily.
.Of course, this is the rule of the clan.
"A person appeared next to him, and that person led him to move. Moreover, he also taught him some evil ways. If that person wants to take him away with him, I believe it should be easy." Murong Xi said.
"However, I have never seen any particularly strange people around him. The elders have personally taught witchcraft since he was a child, so he always lives in the elders' yard. If someone really enters, the elders would have discovered it long ago.
Yes." Xun'er said puzzledly.
The strength of the four elders cannot be underestimated. The patriarch at that time should not be their opponent. If he really slipped away under their noses, he should have known about it. But why did he leave without knowing it?
?
Murong Xi carefully recalled what Xun'er said and what the clan leader told him that day. If what Xun'er said was correct, then the clan leader had lied again, which meant that no second person had appeared from the beginning to the end.
Just as Murong Xi was thinking about it, Xun'er was a little confused and asked: "By the way, Xi'er, there is one more thing I still haven't figured out. Since he poisoned me, why did I faint?"
After Xun'er woke up, she only knew that she had been poisoned by the clan leader, and she might have fainted because of the poison. She never knew the reason, but wasn't the poison just to let her enter the secret cave? The clan leader had poisoned her.
The measurement is always accurate, so why did she faint?
"Because Ji Limo has long discovered that the clan leader wants to take advantage of you, so he has been protecting you secretly. Before he poisoned you, Ji Limo gave you the sleeping pill. The clan leader didn't know about this.
When he saw that you hadn't woken up yet, he gave up using you and went to the secret cave alone because he couldn't wait any longer," Murong Xi said.
After Murong Xi calmed down, she told Xun'er. Since the clan leader never told the truth from the beginning, she might as well tell Xun'er directly. If the clan leader can slip away from the elder's nose, then what he is hiding
Very deep indeed.
"So that's it. So if there was no witch master, maybe I would have followed him into the ancient tomb?" Xun'er asked.
"That's right, you had taken the poison that day, but the poison was very deep. You would agree to whatever the patriarch said. It was because Ji Limo had given you the medicine that you didn't wake up. The patriarch was anxious and worried about missing this.
Opportunity, that's why I left you to go to the forbidden place alone." Murong Xi said.
"I thought he was very nice to me, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Now I understand, I won't be sad for him in the future. I remember Xi'er said to me that he doesn't deserve my anger."
He seemed to have completely figured it out and said to Murong Xi.
Murong Xi looked at Xun'er with relief and said, "I was really worried about you. I didn't expect you to be stronger than I thought."
Murong Xi was really worried about Xun'er. Xun'er had grown up with the clan leader since she was a child. Naturally, she believed in the clan leader. Knowing that the clan leader deceived her like this, she would definitely not be able to bear it. However, she betrayed her second uncle for him, but she didn't expect
She almost died in the forbidden area. In the end, the clan leader just wanted to use her.
Murong Xi had a hard time imagining what Xun'er would be like after learning the truth. He didn't expect that she would accept it happily. It seems that Yinyue's mother and Yinyue also talked about many things that happened before.
"Actually, you are right. I was a little confused at the beginning, and I have been confused since I woke up. Only after Yin Yue told me a lot did I know that the patriarch had poisoned me. To be honest, I was really confused at the beginning.
I was a little reluctant, but after listening to your words yesterday, I realized that I was really stupid. I knew that I should wake up and not continue to be decadent." Xun'er finished the words in one breath.
